Medlab SB 5B 60 Capsules

Medlab SB 5B is a scientifically formulated probiotic supplement designed to support digestive health, immune system function, and overall wellbeing. Each capsule delivers 5 billion live Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) organisms – a beneficial yeast strain well-documented for its protective effects on the gastrointestinal tract.

Unlike many probiotics, Saccharomyces boulardii is yeast-based, making it resistant to stomach acid, bile, and antibiotics. This means it can survive through the digestive tract to reach the intestines intact, where it helps restore balance to the gut microbiome. SB 5B is suitable for those experiencing digestive discomfort, diarrhoea, or after antibiotic use, and is also used to maintain gut health during travel.
