Naka Platinum Saccharomyces Boulardii, 10 Billion CFU, Shelf Stable, 40 Delayed Release Vegetable Capsules

Naka Platinum Saccharomyces Boulardii Details

Naka Platinum Saccharomyces Boulardii provides 10 billion CFU of Saccharomyces boulardii (strain DBVPG6763) per delayed-release vegetable capsule, 40 capsules per bottle. The thing to understand before you buy is that this is not a bacterial probiotic — S. boulardii is a beneficial yeast. That single difference is the whole reason people choose it: Naka describes it as uniquely resistant to antibiotics and stomach acid, which makes it a sensible probiotic for travel or for use alongside medications.

Naka states that S. boulardii supports intestinal integrity, normal bowel transit time and immune function, and that it helps combat the negative effects of antibiotics on gut flora, reducing the risk of medication-induced diarrhea. The capsules are shelf stable and need no refrigeration, so the bottle can live in a suitcase or a desk drawer. Non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free, made in Canada.

Quick Facts

Who Saccharomyces Boulardii Is For

• Travellers who want a probiotic that survives a carry-on bag, a hot car and a hotel room without losing potency.
• Anyone taking a course of antibiotics who wants flora support that, as Naka puts it, combats the negative effects of antibiotics on gut flora.
• Buyers who have cycled through bacterial probiotics and want to try a different class of organism entirely.
• Those managing ongoing digestive conditions — Naka lists Crohn's disease, IBS and ulcerative colitis among the situations this product is intended for.
• Anyone who wants one capsule a day rather than a multi-capsule regimen.

Who this product is NOT for: This is not a broad-spectrum daily probiotic. If what you want is multi-strain bacterial coverage for an everyday microbiome, Naka Herbs Nutri Probiotic 45 Billion CFU with its 7 strains and L-Glutamine is the right purchase and this is not a substitute for it. It is also the wrong pick if you want a prebiotic fibre blend, a women's or men's specific formula, or a product for a child under 9 — Naka's dosing here starts at age 9.

Vitamart's Take

We stock this because it does a job bacterial probiotics genuinely cannot. Most probiotic bacteria are vulnerable to the same antibiotics you might be taking, and they want cold storage. A yeast sidesteps both problems, which is why S. boulardii is the bottle we point people to for travel and for antibiotic courses specifically.

The trade-off is narrowness. One organism at 10 billion CFU is not microbiome breadth, and 40 capsules is roughly a six-week supply at one per day — this is a targeted tool, not the cornerstone of a gut routine. The delayed-release capsule and shelf stability are the two features worth paying for here; if you don't need either, a conventional probiotic may suit you better.

How Saccharomyces Boulardii Compares

The comparison that matters is not CFU against CFU — it is organism class and what you need the bottle to survive.

• Versus multi-strain bacterial probiotics: those deliver far higher total CFU across several species for everyday balance. This delivers one yeast that holds up against antibiotics and stomach acid.
• Versus refrigerated probiotics: no cold chain, no cooler bag, no worrying about a warm delivery day. Shelf stability is the practical edge.
• Versus digestive enzymes: enzymes help break food down in the moment; a probiotic works on the flora and the gut lining. Different jobs, often taken together.

What Is Saccharomyces Boulardii?

Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast — a single-celled fungus, related to brewer's and baker's yeast, rather than a bacterium like Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium. Everything distinctive about it follows from that. Antibiotics are built to act on bacteria, so they leave a yeast largely untouched; that is why Naka describes this organism as uniquely resistant to antibiotics and able to be used alongside medications.

It is usually taken as a short, deliberate course — during travel, during a medication course, or through a rough patch — and Naka pairs it with claims around intestinal integrity, normal bowel transit time and immune function. The delayed-release capsule exists so the yeast reaches the intestine intact instead of being released early in the stomach.

How To Use

Children 9–11 years, Adolescents 12–17 years, Adults: Take 1 Naka Platinum Saccharomyces Boulardii capsule per day. Take at least 2–3 hours before or after taking antifungal medications.
