What is brewer's yeast?

Used as a food or dietary supplement, brewer's yeast has been used for thousands of years as an ally with multiple health and beauty benefits. Brewer 's yeast is composed of microscopic fungi, not dangerous for health and rich in nutrients, called Saccharomyces Boulardii or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 

These mushrooms have the ability to digest sugar and starch from cereals to create an environment rich in proteins, minerals and B vitamins, which are champions in keratin synthesis! And when we know that our hair and nails are made up of more than 95% keratin, we can imagine the benefits of brewer's yeast on our mane. 

In short, it is the perfect ally to maintain the health and beauty of our hair and nails

There are 2 forms of brewer's yeast: 

  • Active or live brewer's yeast: its preparation method allows the microscopic fungi to remain intact and ensures a particularly interesting probiotic activity. Its use is therefore intended for care affecting digestion to boost the immune system. 

  • Inactive brewer's yeast: unlike active brewer's yeast, the way it is prepared destroys the mushrooms, which then no longer have any probiotic action. It nevertheless keeps their nutritional benefits to have an efficiency on the beauty of the skin, the nails and the hair

Thanks to its vitamin and mineral content, it is particularly recommended in the event of deficiencies or to avoid a state of fatigue, since it offers many proteins and vitamins, in particular present in food of animal origin (essential in the good functioning of our organization). Brewer's yeast also has a revitalizing and antioxidant action, to help our body face the effects of stress or fatigue and to protect our body from free radicals and oxidative stress, responsible for premature aging of the skin. 

On the digestive system

As mentioned above, brewer's yeast (under active strength) has many benefits on the balance of the digestive system thanks to its probiotic activity which makes it possible to maintain an intestinal flora and a very powerful microbiota. Brewer's yeast thus prevents digestive disorders, such as bloating, digestive difficulties or heartburn, etc. By supporting and strengthening the intestinal microbiota, brewer's yeast protects our immune system. 

On the skin

Rich in zinc, with its purifying and cleansing properties, and in vitamin B5, which regulates the production of sebum, brewer's yeast ensures healthy skin and is an important ally against minor imperfections.

How to use brewer's yeast ? 

Ideally, you should take a cure of one or two months to really see the effects of brewer's yeast. In any case, you should avoid exceeding 3 months to prevent your body from becoming accustomed to the supplements. You can also repeat this 3-month course of treatment several times a year, as long as you space each 2 or 3-month course of treatment by 1 month without taking it. Tested and approved by Marion, our expertise director, who was won over by the effects of brewer's yeast: "I clearly saw my growth accelerate and it was even more convincing in terms of my nails, which were no longer brittle at all."

Does brewer's yeast really make you fat?

Rich in vitamins, brewer's yeast also contains a lot of protein, which may lead us to fear a slight weight gain. However, as long as you consume it as a dietary supplement (i.e. in smaller doses), it won't affect your weight and won't make you put on weight. And, as mentioned above, it even promotes good digestion and boosts the immune system!
