- 60 capsules = 2-month supply, 3+ billion CFUs per capsule
Introducing our gentle yeast-based probiotics, starring the beneficial yeast strain, Saccharomyces boulardii. To help avoid common antibiotic side effects like diarrhea, fatigue and brain fog.*
Folks with Clostridium difficile (C. diff), candida, yeast infections and mild skin rashes also use saccharomyces probiotics, as guided by a practitioner.*
Smidge® Yeastbiotic is pure and simple.
Small batch. Dairy and gluten-free. And free of common allergens.
Dosage Directions:
Always start with a smidge! Take 1 capsule twice daily with food until the bottle is finished (See “low and slow” note below), or as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. May be taken before, during or immediately following a course of antibiotics under the advice of your doctor.* This is not intended to be a maintenance probiotic.
Warning: Not recommended for severely immunocompromised individuals or those with central venous catheters.
Start low and slow: Smidge® supplements are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it's critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a minimal dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what feels right for you.
How to take: You can take your saccharomyces probiotic along with your antibiotics, as guided by your healthcare practitioner. We recommend taking it a couple of hours apart from your antibiotic dose. If you've finished a round of antibiotics and seek support, you can follow-up with Yeastbiotic.
Additionally, and equally as important, abstaining from sugary foods that feed pathogenic yeast increases its efficacy (customers often consume ancestral diets such as SCD or paleo), which include essential fatty acids.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry area. Refrigerate for long-term storage.

Sourcing and crafting Yeastbiotic
We meticulously source the Saccharomyces boulardii in Yeastbiotic to ensure purity, quality and effectiveness. This probiotic yeast — known for its ability to target pathogens in the gut and resilience through digestion — is derived from carefully selected strains initially found in nature, such as mangosteen peel and lychee fruit. While its origins grow from the earth, the strain is from a trusted bank to ensure a clean, controlled foundation.
We cultivate our isolated strain of S. boulardii with precision and care in a nutrient-rich environment that maximizes its growth. Then, it’s gently freeze-dried for potency. Each small batch undergoes thorough testing for viability.
For antibiotics, candida issues, and more*
Each capsule contains pure S. boulardii, well-known for balancing candida issues. (Some supplement manufacturers substitute brewer's or baker's yeast for S. boulardii. Not Smidge®!)
You can take this saccharomyces boulardii probiotic supplement with your antibiotics (as guided by your healthcare provider), as it may not compromise the potency or effectiveness of the antibiotics.* So both can do their crucial jobs while you're on the mend.*
And even if you're not on antibiotics, Smidge® Yeastbiotic can nourish your digestive system. Our customers tell us they often take it while following natural interventions, such as special diets for candida or other mild fungal overgrowths.*
How does S. bouldardii work in the body?
Antibiotics will only attack bacteria, not yeast. People often have issues when on antibiotics, as they wipe out "good bacteria." And candida that has been lying dormant will take over along with an array of other unpleasant side effects.
S. boulardii, the friendly yeast strain found in Smidge® Yeastbiotic, may prevent and treat diarrhea caused by antibiotics.* It does this by gently crowding out troublesome microbes in the gut and augmenting the intestinal absorption of D-glucose and sodium, which may enhance the uptake of water and electrolytes during occasional diarrhea.*
S. boulardii may help with the fatigue and brain fog often caused by antibiotics, too.
More S. boulardii health benefits
S. boulardii can do an enormous amount of work to keep you feeling good.*
Studies show S. boulardii:
- Supports intestinal health and the microbiome*
- Preserves intestinal barrier function*
- Supports the immune system*
- May inhibit pathogenic yeast related to candida issues*
- May have broad antimicrobial activities against Clostridium difficile (C. diff), E. coli and other gastrointestinal pathogens*
- Avoids nausea related to low stomach acid, and may ease mild acid reflux*
That's why many doctors and practitioners turn to this helpful yeast when antibiotics have thrown everything out of whack.*
S. boulardii, candida and women’s health
Because S. boulardii has been shown to inhibit pathogenic yeast related to candida issues, women may take it to balance pH levels related to yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis.* And, it may help with mild skin issues related to candida, like rashes and acne caused by yeast sensitivity.*
Yeastbiotic while traveling
Yeastbiotic is also fantastic for travel, because it may keep some pathogens out of the gut, helping to stave off travelers’ diarrhea.* It may also help avoid an upset stomach and maintain regularity while on the go and experiencing different food and water.*
May ease mild side effects from antibiotics
