All right, it tastes dreadful, but it's useful. The humble yeast is a single-cell organism - a fungus - that grows on starchy, sugary substances such as the grains used in baking and in brewing beer. Commission E studied brewer's yeast, a by-product of beer-making.

Potential Health Benefits

Commission E endorsed brewer's yeast to help support diarrhea, to help fight chronic acne, and to help restore lost appetite. North researchers say the chromium in brewer's yeast helps support healthy levels of blood sugar and raise levels of "good" HDL cholesterol, but Commission E didn't cite such far-ranging uses. Additionally, brewer's yeast is high in protein, which accounts for half its weight, so it's a good nutritional supplement for some people. Its high vitamin B12 content makes brewer's yeast a useful supplement for vegetarians.

Scientific Evidence

Abundant B vitamins and a broad range of minerals make brewer's yeast a useful ingredient in a supportive-minded diet or as a therapeutic agent. Brewer's yeast helps support diarrhea. Commission E reports that brewer's yeast reduced toxins from vibrie cholerae by 40 percent. "In animal studies," the commission reports, "the secretory immunoglobulin was increased in the digestive tract after oral intake of brewer's yeast." That's a good thing - it helps restore the appetite.

How to Use the Herb

Stir flakes or powdered yeast into water or juice, or sprinkle it on soups, salads, cereal, and popcorn. For supporting diarrhea, Commission E recommends taking 250-500 milligrams per day. If you're going on a trip and want to help avoid traveler's diarrhea, start taking brewer's yeast five days before departure. The daily dose for chronic acne is 750 milligrams.
