YICHANG, China, Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Angel Yeast Co., Ltd(https://en.angelyeast.com/)("Angel Yeast"), a listed

global yeast and yeast extract manufacturer, has partnered with the Huazhong

University of Science and Technology to conduct a clinical study that

investigated the relationship between Saccharomyces boulardii Bld-3 (S.

boulardii) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results of the study show

that the patented yeast-based probiotic developed by Angel Yeast plays a

beneficial role in addressing the symptoms of IBD.

Data from the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFGD)

reveals that IBD is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder and

affects between 10-15% of the global population.[1] Typical medical treatments

for IBD include antibodies, steroids and immunomodulators; however, these have

low efficacy and a high incidence of recurrence.[2] As a result, there is a

pressing need for innovative health therapeutics to help sufferers manage and

treat the condition. S. boulardii was developed by Angel Yeast to address

problems with diarrhea, one of the most common symptoms of IBD,[3] and improve

overall digestive health.

Prior to the joint study, there was minimal research that examined the effects

of S. boulardii and S. boulardii-derived molecules on the gut microbiota in

intestinal inflammation. Gut microbiota has long been recognized as playing a

pivotal role in maintaining the health of its host, with clinical data

demonstrating that the gut microbiota of IBD patients varies considerably in

composition and function.[4]

Angel Yeast partnered with Huazhong University of Science and Technology to

explore the underlying mechanisms involved in the prevalence of IBD and

identify the scientific relationship between S. boulardii and IBD. The duo

examined the role of the probiotic in the gut microbial ecosystem and

identified potential mechanisms of its intestinal anti-inflammatory activity.

In the study, [5] model organisms populated with synthetic human microbiota was

given a diet of the S. boulardii probiotic supplement for a total of 16 days,

before receiving DSS treatment to spur colitis. The results found that feeding

subjects with S.boulardii significantly alleviated mucosal damage in colon

tissue, altered the composition of gut microbiota and the fecal metabolic

phenotype, and increased the development of microbial metabolite short-chain

fatty acids. These findings point towards the probiotic's potential to improve

the regulation of inflammatory responses and lessen DSS-induced colitis, and

confirm S. boulardii has the potential to modulate the gut microbiota to

successfully prevent and treat IBD. The findings were published in the Food &

Function journal in November 2021.

Companies around the world have implemented Angel Yeast's S. boulardii patented

probiotic into health supplements to meet the needs of consumers in search of a

nutritional ingredient that supports overall immune health, good digestion and

a happy, healthy gut. Now, following the new findings from the clinical study,

S. boulardii has further demonstrated its potential to address IBD and support

its sufferers by preventing and treating its symptoms.

Launched in September 2021, Angel Yeast's S. boulardii probiotic is developed

using a low-temperature fluidized bed process and a unique protection

technology that quickly forms a dense yeast shell to enclose active yeast

probiotics entrapped inside. This strengthens the yeast's resistance to gastric

acid and bile salts, enabling it to be used as an ingredient for wide-ranging

probiotic dietary supplements, such as powders, tablets, capsules, yogurt

blocks, and chocolate.
