Unlike heat-inactivated yeasts that lose their biological functions, this live brewer’s yeast retains its micro-organisms intact — once ingested, it reactivates in the digestive tract, where it provides a genuine probiotic effect in addition to its nutritional content. A controlled low-temperature dehydration process preserves all essential nutrients and micro-organism activity for optimal effectiveness with each dose. With a concentration reaching 10 billion micro-organisms per gram, this organic brewer’s yeast offers an exceptional nutritional profile: vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B8, B9, plus zinc, selenium, 34% protein and 31 g of dietary fibre per 100 g.

The direct intake of B-group vitamins helps strengthen hair growth and improve nail resistance. Its notable protein and amino-acid content supports the structure of hair, skin and nails, while its minerals — including zinc and selenium — support better skin hydration and a visibly brighter complexion. Results are generally noticed after a few weeks: slower hair shedding, thicker hair, and more radiant skin. Beyond beauty, the live form also supports gut-flora balance, which helps with overall nutrient assimilation from food.

Recommended dose: 2 to 4 capsules a day, taken with a glass of water and a meal for good digestive tolerance. The 120-capsule format covers one to two months depending on dosage, and a course of 1 to 3 months is generally recommended to see meaningful results on hair and nail health. Those new to probiotics can start with 2 capsules a day before increasing gradually.

This food supplement is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children. People sensitive to probiotics may experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, especially early in the course — reduce the dose temporarily if this happens. Possible trace gluten content requires caution in cases of confirmed intolerance. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and people on medical treatment should consult a healthcare professional before starting the course.

What is live brewer’s yeast used for?

It mainly supports hair strength, nail resilience and skin clarity, thanks to its natural richness in B-group vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The live form also provides a valuable probiotic effect for gut flora and nutrient assimilation.

How long before I see results on my hair?

Generally after 3–4 weeks of regular use: reduced hair shedding, thicker hair and a brighter complexion. A 2–3 month course gives more lasting, pronounced results.

Can it be combined with other beauty supplements?

Yes — it pairs well with biotin, borage oil or zinc. Our team can suggest combinations suited to your specific goals, whether hair loss, brittle nails or skin radiance.
