Brewer's yeast or how to accelerate hair growth

Used as a food or dietary supplement, brewer's yeast has established itself for thousands of years as an ally with multiple health and beauty benefits. Brewer's yeast is composed of microscopic, nutrient-rich fungi called Saccharomyces Boulardii or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 

These fungi have the ability to digest the sugar and starch in cereals to create an environment rich in proteins, minerals and B-group vitamins, the champions of keratin synthesis! And when you consider that over 95% of our hair and nails are made up of keratin, it's easy to imagine the benefits of brewer's yeast for our manes. 

In short, it's the perfect ally for maintaining the health and beauty of your hair and nails. 

There are 2 forms of brewer's yeast: 

• Active or live brewer's yeast: the way it's prepared allows the microscopic fungi to remain intact and ensures particularly interesting probiotic activity. It is therefore ideal for use in digestive care to boost the immune system. 

• Inactive brewer's yeast: unlike active brewer's yeast, the way it is prepared destroys the fungi, which then no longer have any probiotic action. Nevertheless, it retains their nutritional benefits, so that it is effective for the beauty of skin, nails and hair. 

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."

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!
