Maintaining healthy sIgA levels is crucial for supporting immune health, particularly in the GI system where there can be significant exposure to unwanted agents. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esIgA acts as the first line of defense against foreign substances in the gut by attaching and neutralizing proteins that are unrecognized by the body. Depleted levels of sIgA are often found in people with low immune response, food intolerance and dysbiosis. Dysbiosis occurs when normally dominant probiotic organisms are outnumbered by commonly out-competed species. In addition to boosting sIgA levels,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eS. boulardii\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epromotes gastrointestinal health by competing for space and nutrients against unwanted organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be an effective probiotic, microorganisms must have certain qualities to withstand the natural defense factors of the host.

Within the GI tract, tightly packed intestinal cells act as a protective barrier preventing substances such as allergenic compounds, undigested food and toxins from leaking directly into the bloodstream. These represent the major barrier found within the pathway between intestinal epithelial cells. \u003cem\u003eS. boulardii\u003c\/em\u003e has been shown to improve tight junction structure ensuring that foods and nutrients from the diet are properly absorbed, while blocking the entrance of potentially harmful substances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlocking Unwanted Microbes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intestinal ecosystem is in a state of equilibrium when healthy species of bacteria, or probiotics, are abundant and unwanted microbial species are kept under control.
