Nutritional yeast contains beta-glucans, which enhance immune function and improve gut health. Yeast is rich in complete B vitamins and all amino acids which support human immune health. Yeast probiotics are effective on human intestinal regulating and maintain human gut health;

The application of yeasts as a probiotic is another very dynamic area for use. Not only does yeast contributes to the good balance of gut microbiota, but it also interacts with certain pathogens by occupying the space they could invade (barrier effect). Yeast may also have a direct effect on some toxins that have a negative impact on human or animal health.

Yeast may also benefit the gut microbiota of the host – human, animal, or plant – in cases of inflammation or immunity reactions. This may be especially beneficial for people who are suffering from intestinal discomfort or diarrhea.

1. Saccharomyces boulardii

Saccharomyces boulardii is a natural and safe microorganism with vast scientific research and documentation. It has been internationally acclaimed as a well-researched and unique microorganism, and has been safely used for over 50years.

Saccharomyces Boulardii belongs to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It was found and isolated from litchi fruit in Indochina in 1920s, and with more than 400 studies haveindicated that S. Boulardii has special functions such as anti-diarrhea, immunity enhancing, improving inflammatory bowel diseases, etc.

As probiotics, S. Boulardii can promote the proliferation and maturity of intestinal epithelial cells, make the villi longer and intestinal crypt deeper, thus to improve the ability of digestion and absorption of nutrients. S. Boulardii can also promote the intestinal mucosa to generate immune globulin (IgA), to build the first line of defense

against pathogens.

Functions

a. Helps intestinal comfort and maintain intestinal flora

b. Treatment of anti-diarrhea,antibiotic-associated diarrhea,traveller’s diarrhea

c. Improving inflammatory bowel disease

d. Intestinal immunity enhancing 

2. Yeast beta glucan

Yeast beta glucan is a polysaccharide exists in the yeast cell wall and has the functions of immunity enhancing, blood lipids improving, anti-radiation and intestinal functions improvement. One study found that people who consumed nutritional yeast were 25% less likely to catch a cold than those who didn’t. Nutritional yeast also contains high amounts of antioxidants, which may have anticancer properties and improve certain immune responses.

Features:

1. Specific activation of human immune cells, can rapidly enhance the immune system.

2. Anti-radiation, anti-tumor, and intestinal functions improvement;

3. From natural yeast, which is safe and health;

4. GRAS in USA.

5. EU approved the ratification of yeast beta glucan as a novel food ingredient in 2011.

6. Can be directly used in biscuits, bread, dairy products, confectionery, beverages and a variety of foods.

7. Soluble yeast beta glucan is available now. The application range is wider.
