Whilst travelling in Indochina during the early 1920’s, a Cholera outbreak had French microbiologist, Henri Boulard observe the local population drink a tea that they had made from macerating tropical fruits (lychee and mangosteen) in order to prevent and treat diarrhoea.
Boulard continued his investigation and in 1923 was able to isolate the yeast strain responsible and named this Saccharomyces boulardii.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) is a wild, tropical yeast, often referred to in the clinical setting as Saccharomyces boulardii or SB Probiotic and has proven gastrointestinal beneficial properties and effects.
Able to grow at very high temperatures (37°C) and resistant to acid, room temperature stable (no refrigeration required) Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) makes the ideal travel companion and adjunct with antibiotic treatment.
Saccharomyces boulardii does not colonise the human intestinal tract. It is a transient yeast that passes through the intestines after ingestion. S. boulardii does not attach to the mucosal cells lining the intestinal lumen but exerts its beneficial effects on the host as it moves through the gastrointestinal tract.

Yomogi® also helps support healthy immune system function and can assist maintaining and supporting beneficial gut flora during antibiotic use.
Antibiotic Associated Diarrhoea. (AAD)
One of the most common adverse effects of antibiotics is the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD). This can occur during antibiotic treatment and even some weeks afterwards.
The cause of ADD is usually a toxic effect of the antibiotic on the intestinal mucous membrane and an imbalance or disruption to the normal gut microbiota. This imbalance is often referred to as dysbiosis and characterised by a decrease in microbial diversity.
This imbalance can often allow pathogenic organisms to now colonise and can trigger inflammation.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) HANSEN CBS 5926 / CNCM I-745 reduces the frequency, the duration and severity of diarrhoea associated with antibiotics.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Based on the widespread use of yeast as a foodstuff, there are no indications of risks in pregnancy and the lactation period. However, results of experimental studies are not available. Therefore, this medicine should not be used during pregnancy and lactation.
Do not take Yomogi®
If you are hypersensitive (allergic) to Saccharomyces cerevisiae HANSENCBS 5926 (synonym: Saccharomyces boulardii) or any of the other ingredients of Yomogi®.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae HANSEN CBS 5926 is a living microorganism, which under inappropriate conditions, that occur in patients with an impaired immune defence system, may cause systemic fungal infections by migration from the intestinal tract in the blood or by external contamination of central venous catheter.
