Our intestinal flora consists of billions of microorganisms: bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and even viruses. This flora, also known as the microbiota, is characterised by a subtle balance between these different microorganisms.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a non-colonising yeast. This means that it does not adhere to the intestinal wall, limiting the risk of candidiasis. However, it can reach a high concentration in the intestine and remain there in a viable form. Numerous studies¹⁻³ have been conducted with Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856.
One example is the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study conducted by Pineton de Chambrun¹, which was carried out on people aged 18 to 75 years presenting symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome¹.
Imutis Cerevisia contains a specific yeast strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856. This strain was selected after years of research from more than 6,000 yeast strains.
