Event Overview:
Beyond the well-studied bacterial landscape of the gut microbiota lies an emerging frontier in microbiome research: the mycobiome. This fungal component of microbiota has long been underexplored, yet it plays a critical role in maintaining microbiome balance and advancing human health. While discussions of gut health have traditionally centered on bacteria, fungi are increasingly recognized for their untapped potential in both gastrointestinal and holistic health. Among fungal microorganisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae stands out as a probiotic powerhouse. While S. cerevisiae var. boulardii is perhaps the most recognized strain for its clinically validated benefits in gut health, other strains, such as S. cerevisiae CNCM I-3856, are expanding the horizons of yeast research by offering benefits beyond gut health. This webinar invites you to dive deeper into the science behind these innovative yeast strains. We’ll explore their unique mechanisms of action, their resilience in demanding environments, and the growing body of clinical evidence supporting their role in health solutions that address wider systemic needs.
Join us as we uncover how yeast-based probiotics can unlock new opportunities for advancing healthcare solutions and redefining the potential of the mycobiome.
