Saccharomyces boulardii reduces cholesterolAnti-hypercholesterolemic effect of Saccharomyces boulardii in the hamster.
We explored the impact of Saccharomyces boulardii on high cholesterol levels in hamsters. The study involved two protocols: one preventive and one curative. In the preventive approach, the treatment reduced cholesterol by 14%, while the curative method achieved a 12% reduction. Additionally, S. boulardii cut down serum triglycerides by 39%. These promising results suggest that this probiotic could be a valuable ally in managing cholesterol, warranting further studies in humans.

Cholesterol reduction via probiotics changes lipidemic profile and gut microbiota in a hamster hypercholesterolemic model.
We explored the effects of the probiotic CNCM I-745, also known as Saccharomyces boulardii, in hamsters with high cholesterol. Over 21 or 39 days, we administered daily doses that significantly reduced total plasma cholesterol levels and altered gut microbiota.
Notably, we found that changes in gut bacteria correlated with cholesterol levels. This study confirms the cholesterol-lowering benefits of Saccharomyces boulardii and highlights its potential impact on gut health, suggesting it could be a valuable option for treating high cholesterol in humans.

Saccharomyces boulardii shows promiseEffect of the Probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii on Cholesterol and Lipoprotein Particles in Hypercholesterolemic Adults: A Single-Arm, Open-Label Pilot Study.
Our exploration into the effects of Saccharomyces boulardii on cholesterol focused on a group of twelve individuals with high cholesterol. Over eight weeks, participants were given probiotic capsules twice a day.
We measured various cholesterol types and lipoprotein particles, aiming to see if S. boulardii could make a difference. While total cholesterol levels didn't show significant changes, we did notice a reduction in remnant lipoprotein, which is a promising indicator for heart health.
Although the study was small, it suggests that S. boulardii might play a role in managing cholesterol levels and heart disease risk.
