HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Saccharomyces Boulardii 250 mg Smooth Cherry by EZ Melts

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast strain at 250 mg per tablet. The inactive ingredients are mannitol, modified cellulose, xylitol, natural flavors, natural color, plant-based magnesium stearate, citric acid, and monk fruit extract—these are fillers and binders that help form and flavor the tablet.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Advanced gastrointestinal support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection, Crohn disease, HIV/AIDS-related diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Rotaviral diarrhea — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Saccharomyces Boulardii is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Saccharomyces Boulardii is rated "Possibly Effective" for Rotaviral diarrhea, Travelers' diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection.
  • Also on file: Saccharomyces Boulardii is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for HIV/AIDS-related diarrhea, Crohn disease, Ulcerative colitis.

Saccharomyces boulardii is possibly effective for several types of diarrhea: rotaviral diarrhea, travelers' diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and Clostridioides difficile infection. It's also rated possibly effective for necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious intestinal condition in newborns) and Helicobacter pylori infection.

The evidence supporting these uses is not definitive, but the data suggests potential benefit in these specific situations.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Saccharomyces Boulardii

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Saccharomyces boulardii is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but it should be avoided if you're critically ill or have a weakened immune system—in those situations, the yeast itself can rarely enter the bloodstream and cause infection, especially if you have a central line or are on broad-spectrum antibiotics. Rarely, people taking it have reported mild gastrointestinal complaints like abdominal cramps, gas, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite.

There isn't enough reliable safety data overall, so talk with your doctor before you start, particularly if you have any serious health condition or a compromised immune system.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Saccharomyces Boulardii

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Saccharomyces Boulardii.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 40 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take any antifungal medication—for fungal skin, nail, or systemic infections—check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, since the antifungal might reduce how well the supplement works. No other medication interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This supplement may help with certain types of diarrhea if you're otherwise healthy and have a functioning immune system. If you're critically ill, immunocompromised, or taking antifungal medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Saccharomyces Boulardii 250 mg Smooth Cherry by EZ Melts: Common Questions

Does Saccharomyces Boulardii 250 mg Smooth Cherry by EZ Melts interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Saccharomyces Boulardii 250 mg Smooth Cherry has a known interaction with 40 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Saccharomyces Boulardii 250 mg Smooth Cherry contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is Saccharomyces boulardii and how does it work?
Saccharomyces boulardii is a beneficial live yeast that's been studied for its role in supporting digestive health, particularly in preventing or reducing certain types of diarrhea. It's a probiotic-type organism that may help restore balance to your gut.
Is this safe if I'm taking antibiotics?
The data shows Saccharomyces boulardii is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, so it may actually help in that situation. However, if you're taking broad-spectrum antibiotics and are critically ill or have a weakened immune system, talk with your doctor first, since rare cases of yeast infection have occurred in those settings.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on file to know whether it's safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate this supplement well. Rarely, people have reported mild stomach complaints like gas, cramps, nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite. Very rarely, the yeast itself can cause a bloodstream infection, particularly in critically ill patients or those with a weakened immune system.
Does it really work for traveler's diarrhea and other types of diarrhea?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective for rotaviral diarrhea, traveler's diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and Clostridioides difficile infection. 'Possibly effective' means the research shows promise but isn't definitive, so results may vary.
