Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS 5 Billion CFU
Jarrow Formulas
Overview
This product combines Saccharomyces boulardii, a well-studied probiotic yeast, with MOS, a prebiotic primarily researched in animal nutrition. S. boulardii is included at an effective dose for promoting gastrointestinal health and preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. While MOS may offer additional benefits, its efficacy in humans is less established, and the optimal dosage is not well-defined.
