Nutritious yeast is a plant source rich in complete proteins, which contain all 9 essential amino acids of our body and which it cannot synthesize on its own.

Inactive yeast or nutritious yeast, as it is also known, is obtained from the fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae, grown on molasses resulting from the manufacture of sugar from beets or sugar cane. When it reaches maturity, it is harvested, washed and dried at high temperatures.
 

Inactive yeast contains antioxidants

Every day, the body faces potential cell damage caused by free radicals, and the antioxidants in the diet help fight this damage by binding to free radicals. Nutritious yeast contains antioxidants called glutathione and selenomethionine, which protect cells from free radical damage and heavy metals and help the body eliminate toxins from the environment.


Consumption of foods such as nutritious yeast, fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help increase the level of antioxidants and defend against chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer and macular degeneration.

 

Inactive yeast can increase immunity

Nutritious yeast contains two main carbohydrates, alpha-manan and beta-glucan. Studies show that the addition of alpha-manan and beta-glucan to animal feed can reduce the frequency of infections with bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella in pigs and can reduce the formation of tumors.

 

Inactive yeast can help lower cholesterol

Beta-glucan found in nutritious yeast can also lower cholesterol. In one study, men with high cholesterol who consumed 15 grams of yeast-derived beta-glucan daily for eight weeks lowered their total cholesterol levels.






 

The benefits of inactive yeast

Inactive yeast has a lot of major benefits for the body. It can be consumed, as I said before, both by people with gluten or lactose intolerance, but also by people who are hypertensive, the sodium intake being insignificant.

• Inactive yeast is a complete source of protein. It contains all the necessary amino acids that the body cannot produce
• It is a good source of vitamins
• It is a product recommended for pregnant women, due to the large amount of folic acid it contains. Even though vitamin B12 is not naturally present in inactive yeast, manufacturers add it in the manufacturing process. Inactive yeast with added vitamins is much more popular on store shelves than natural
• It has a high fiber content. Helps regulate intestinal transit, but also provides a feeling of satiety that settles quickly and lasts, an ideal feature for those who want to lose extra pounds
