Lesaffre Human Care ~ Lynside® GI+ Probiotic Yeast

MILWAUKEELesaffre Human Care launched Lynside® GI+ Probiotic Yeast for those suffering from intestinal discomfort such as that caused by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Broadening its range of nutritional yeasts, Lesaffre Human Cares Lynside GI+ Probiotic Yeast is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast that acts to target intestinal discomfort.

Since 2005, on-going preclinical trials on Lynside GI+ Probiotic Yeast have demonstrated that the strain survives transit through the gastrointestinal tract, has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces the perception of intestinal pain. In 2008, a placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted by international specialist of inflammatory bowel diseases, professor Pierre Desreumaux of the University of Lille in France. The trial included 200 volunteers with IBS symptoms and showed that intestinal pain and discomfort was significantly relieved after four weeks of taking 500 mg a day of Lynside GI+ Probiotic Yeast. The study also showed that Lynside GI+ Probiotic Yeast had favorable effects on bowel disorders caused by IBS such as abdominal and intestinal pain and discomfort, bloating, flatulence and constipation.
