There are many reasons. Here are just a few to run by a certified healthcare practitioner: 

• You may be taking antibiotics and want to avoid any bothersome side effects like diarrhea, yeast issues, fatigue and brain fog.* 
• You may be searching for a solution to mild, periodic IBS and other inflammatory bowel conditions* 
• You received a recommendation from a trusted practitioner for issues like candida or C. diff.* 
• You want to support your digestive health.* 

It's free of the following common allergens: does not include milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, corn, peanuts, wheat/gluten or soybeans. 

Yeastbiotic is SCD compliant and can be used to treat diarrhea or other antibiotic-related problems stemming from systemic yeast overgrowth, under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner.*

You will see that your Yeastbiotic capsules have small flecks of brown in them. The friendly yeast strain is the brown color, while the cellulose (the benign filler necessary for encapsulation) is white. Please know the color variation is entirely normal and a characteristic of the formula. 

Sure thing. Yeastbiotic works great with our probiotics. Together, they can help balance the bacteria in your digestive system affected by antibiotics. 

At the same time, therapeutic probiotics like our Sensitive Probiotic may intensify Yeastbiotic’s effectiveness. So, if you’re experiencing discomfort due to excessive yeast die-off, lower your Yeastbiotic dose. You can further lower by pulling apart the capsule and taking a portion of the powder (the powder will appear white with brown specs).  

We recommend our customers take this one as needed (and until the bottle is finished), as it works better in bursts rather than long-term. This is because pathogenic yeast is very resilient and can become resistant to particular strains or even antifungal treatments.* 

Equally as important, this supplement is most effective when taken while abstaining from sugary foods that feed pathogenic yeast (i.e. cookies + yeast = no bueno). Many of our customers consume ancestral diets (such as SCD or paleo) that include essential fatty acids, and take a quality digestive enzyme. 

The strains in our Yeastbiotic capsules are sourced in the U.S., as is the production of the final product :) 

Yeastbiotic lets your antibiotics do their thing. You can take it while taking antibiotics (under your doctor’s advice), because antibiotics should not interfere with S. boulardii's potency or effectiveness and vice versa.* 

Probiotics have become the go-to ally for getting your digestive system back on track and maintaining good health. But when you're taking antibiotics, these helpful bacteria can be helpless. Antibiotics wipe out the good and bad bacteria indiscriminately. Yet antibiotics will only attack bacteria, not yeast. So you can take Smidge® Yeastbiotic while you're taking antibiotics (under the advice of your doctor), because antibiotics don't interfere with S. boulardii's potency or effectiveness and vice versa.* 

Great question! Smidge® Yeastbiotic is a yeast that happens to function like a probiotic in the body (so it's both!). 

History lesson! The French scientist Henry Boulard first discovered S. boulardii in 1920 after observing that certain locals in Indonesia were not succumbing to an outbreak of cholera. The healthier locals drank tea made from the skins of lychee and mangosteen, from which Boulard was able to isolate S. boulardii as the protective yeast. The strain has been named after him ever since its discovery. 

We recommend working with your diet and abstaining from sugar or other processed foods that feed yeast and other pathogens. Customers often consume ancestral diets (such as SCD or paleo) that include essential fatty acids.
