Description
A distinction must be made between active and inactive brewer's yeast. Active or live brewer's yeast is used as a probiotic under the name Saccharomyces boulgari. It has been dehydrated at very low temperatures (under 40°C) to keep its micro-organisms alive.
It is renowned for its exceptional nutritional properties. Indeed, brewer's yeast is the richest food in B vitamins, particularly vitamin B1 (thiamine). One teaspoon of brewer's yeast represents a daily intake 9 times higher than the recommended daily allowance of vitamin B1. It is also rich in proteins and trace elements (chromium and selenium). Active brewer's yeast is used to protect and regenerate intestinal flora.
Inactive or dead brewer's yeast has been heated to over 40°C to kill the fungi of which it is composed. It's no longer alive, but it's still just as nutritionally rich. Inactive brewer's yeast is used as a dietary supplement to strengthen hair.
What are the benefits of brewer's yeast for hair?
Brewer's yeast stimulates the production of keratin, a natural fibrous protein that is the main constituent of phanera (hair, nails, teeth and body hair).
By stimulating keratin production, brewer's yeast fortifies hair. It also helps combat hair loss, thanks to its high content of vitamins B1, B2 and B9, which contribute to cell regeneration and better hair regrowth. It also makes hair softer and shinier.
