Brewer’s Yeast

What is Brewer’s Yeast?

Brewer’s yeast, or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is commonly used in beer making and for nutritional supplements. These nutritional supplements are made from dried and crushed cells, and are not alive. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is often confused with Saccharomyces boulardii, a live yeast probiotic.

Brewer’s yeast is rich in many nutrients, including selenium, chromium, and other minerals; B-complex vitamins (thiamin, niacin, pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, folate, B-12, and biotin); beta-glucans, ribonucleic acid (RNA), and others.

Health Benefits

Brewer’s yeast is rich in B-complex vitamins, which are used by the body to break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and in support of many other important functions. B-vitamins are considered to be especially crucial for those undergoing stress and for those who have injuries.

Studies have shown that high-selenium brewer’s yeast may have anti-carcinogenic properties, and therefore may help prevent the incidence of certain cancers. More research is needed.

Research has shown high-chromium brewer’s yeast to have reported anti-diabetic properties, as the supplement may improve glucose tolerance in those with Type II (or “adult onset”) diabetes.

Some research shows that brewer’s yeast may help lower cholesterol. More research is needed.

Usage Indications

Dosages vary; use as directed. Brewer’s yeast may cause gas in those whose diets are low in B-complex vitamins; if this is the case, start with a lower dose and gradually increase the dosage.
Brewer’s yeast is available in flake, powder, tablet and capsule form.

  • Side Effects: occasional allergic reactions and flatulence. Some are averse to the bitter taste.
  • Indications: Do not consume brewer’s yeast if you are currently taking an MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) antidepressant medication, or narcotics for pain, as a very serious condition called “hypertensive crisis” may occur. Pregnant/nursing women should not use brewer’s yeast, as safety has not been proven in these populations.
