5 - Understanding the Key Ingredients
Saccharomyces Boulardii (5 Billion CFU)
This probiotic yeast stands out from bacterial probiotics in several ways:
Vitamin D3 (2.5μg/100iu - 50% NRV)
Vitamin D's role in immune function is well-established. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system. The vegan form (from lichen or algae) provides the same cholecalciferol your body produces from sunlight.
Biotin (8μg - 16% NRV)
Biotin's contribution to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes is particularly relevant for gut health.
Beyond gut health, biotin also supports energy metabolism, helping your body convert food into usable energy.
Olive Leaf Extract (200mg providing 2.00mg Oleuropeins)
Olive leaf (Olea Europaea) has been used traditionally in Mediterranean cultures. The standardized extract ensures consistent oleuropein content—the extract provides 2 mg oleuropein per capsule.
Bamboo Silica (10mg)
Bamboo silica extract, 10 mg.
