Saccharomyces Boulardii PCD Franchise & Manufacturers

Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast. Doctors use it to support the gut during diarrhoea and alongside antibiotic courses, when the normal gut balance is disturbed. Some products are sold as medicines and others as nutraceuticals.

Paediatricians are among the biggest prescribers, since diarrhoea in children is a frequent complaint. Gastroenterologists and general physicians write it too, and almost every chemist keeps at least one brand of probiotic sachet or capsule.

Sachets, capsules and probiotic combinations

Companies on this page list it as:

• Sachets and powders
• Capsules and soft gelatin capsules
• Tablets
• Suspensions for children

It is often combined with lactic acid bacillus and other probiotic strains, with zinc for children's diarrhoea, and in some products with racecadotril. A paediatric partner will want sachets and suspensions, while a general partner may prefer capsules.

What to compare in a gastro franchise company

A strong gastro range matters here: antacids, ORS, antispasmodics and enzymes help you cover a gastroenterologist's full prescription. Compare PTR and margin, as probiotics are a crowded segment with many schemes. Get the monopoly area in writing. Live organisms are sensitive to heat and moisture, so ask about the storage conditions on the label and check the sachet and blister quality. Read the expiry and return policy closely, and ask what doctor literature and samples the company gives.

Launching your own probiotic brand

First decide whether the product will be registered as a drug or as a nutraceutical under FSSAI, since this changes the licence and label rules. Then share the strain, the count you want on the label, the form, pack size, minimum order quantity and packing material with the manufacturer. Ask for stability data showing the count over shelf life and a certificate of analysis. Confirm licence copies, artwork approval and lead time before the order. Ask too how the plant controls humidity in the filling room, because moisture can shorten probiotic life.
