“Traveller’s Tummy” affects close to one in two travellers. In 70% of cases, this intestinal affliction, causing diarrhoea and stomach aches, is due to ingested foods or
drinks contaminated by Escherichia coli. The risk of such contamination is especially high in countries where the level of hygiene is less strict than the traveller’s country of origin.

In most industrialised countries, however, all efforts are concentrated in fighting pathogenic micro-organisms, from antibiotics to the food industry. This emphasis on hygiene is quite useful, but seems to weaken our body and increases the vulnerability of our immune system to pathogens, as our immune system relies on the stimulus of constant challenge to maintain its power of resistance. In the event of ingesting E. coli, by the time our defence mechanism prepares to fight the infection, this bacterium can proliferate among our intestinal flora and produce a toxin that causes diarrhoea.

Our intestinal flora plays a role in protecting our body against infection by colonising the whole mucous membrane of the intestine, thus preventing pathogenic bacteria from adhering. Unfortunately, our intestinal flora is very fragile and can be easily disturbed by time and diet changes, factors that can reduce its protective capacity. The balance of the intestinal flora also plays a very significant role in the functioning of the immune system and its reaction ability. That is why it is very important to start your holiday or journey with a healthy and balanced intestinal flora.

Unique Probiotic Yeast
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a unique probiotic yeast that has been safely used worldwide as a probiotic for more than half a century. It does not colonise the intestinal tract and is used as needed to support intestinal health. S. Boulardii provides the intestines with unparalleled support against a broad array of pathogens that include bacteria, yeast and protozoans. Its mechanisms of actions are as follows:

• It binds to certain pathogenic bacteria and occupies intestinal receptors, thus preventing bacteria from adhering to the mucous membrane;
• It inhibits bacterial toxins; and
• It stimulates the intestinal immune system.
