Question 1

I have trouble swallowing pills. How large are these capsules?**

Accepted Answer

Many users mention the capsules are on the larger side. They are standard delayed-release capsules designed to survive stomach acid. If you have difficulty, some find it helpful to take them with a thick smoothie or applesauce. We don't recommend opening the capsule, as the delayed-release coating is key to its effectiveness.

Question 2

I'm about to start a course of antibiotics. Is this a good choice to take alongside them?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is one of the most common uses praised in reviews. *Saccharomyces boulardii* is a yeast-based probiotic, so it isn't killed by antibiotics. Many users report it helps maintain digestive balance and prevent common side effects like diarrhea during and after antibiotic treatment. As always, consult your healthcare provider for personal medical advice.

Question 3

Does this product require refrigeration?**

Accepted Answer

No, it does not. Jarrow Formulas uses shelf-stable packaging and delayed-release capsules to ensure potency at room temperature. This makes it convenient for travel and daily use without the need for a fridge. Just store it in a cool, dry place.

Question 4

I've seen other brands with higher CFU counts. Why is this one only 5 billion?**

Accepted Answer

CFU count is just one factor. The unique benefit here is the specific, well-researched strain *Saccharomyces boulardii*, combined with MOS (a prebiotic that supports it). Many users find this targeted formula more effective for their needs (like traveler's diarrhea or antibiotic support) than a general probiotic with higher CFUs but less clinical backing for specific issues.

Question 5

I started taking it and feel more gassy or bloated. Is this normal?**

Accepted Answer

Some users, especially those new to probiotics or with significant gut imbalance, report a brief adjustment period. This can sometimes feel like mild gas or bloating as your gut flora changes. It often subsides within 5-7 days. If symptoms are severe or persist, we recommend stopping use and consulting a healthcare professional. Starting with a half dose (one capsule) may also help your system adjust more gently.
