In the brewing process, the role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is to convert sugars from beans into ethanol.

It is used in the food industry as a leavening factor for bread, wine (1), beer (2) and it has some interesting characteristics:

• body purifier
• it helps the bacterial flora to regenerate itself
• it helps the immune defense
• it provides proteins (3)

Contraindications: high dosage, intolerances.

Brewer's yeast has proved to be very useful in the study of degenerative disease Sla as it has allowed to analyze the course of the disease.

This study attributes brewer's yeast a promising activity as an antiulcer and antiproliferative remedy (4).
