Ultra Levura 250 mg capsules

Ultra Levura is a well-known probiotic medication containing the specific yeast strain Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745. This strain was originally discovered in Southeast Asia in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard, who noticed that locals used a tea made from tropical fruits to treat symptoms of cholera and diarrhea. Following its discovery, the brand became a cornerstone of intestinal health treatments.

The product is manufactured primarily in France by Biocodice, the company that pioneered the production of this specific yeast strain. The brand has maintained a strong presence in European markets, particularly in Spain and France, where it is often the first choice for treating antibiotic-associated diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues. Ownership remains with the founding family-owned French laboratory, Biocodex, ensuring a legacy of specialized pharmaceutical expertise.
