Equibios contains the yeast organism Saccharomyces boulardii. This organism has specific involvement with pathogens involved in gastrointestinal infections such as salmonella, clostridia and conforus. S. Boulardii has been successfully used to help remove pathogens in the microflora of humans and horses. It works in two ways by binding directly to pathogens to remove them from the GI or by production of metabolites that bind/inactivate toxins produced by pathogens. S. Boulardii has also been shown to modulate the acid content of the equine hind gut. An increased acidity (low pH) of the hind gut is a common problem in our equine athletes that are fed a high starch diet.
