Brewer’s yeast: definition and benefits for hair
What exactly is brewer’s yeast?
Brewer’s yeast is a type of microscopic fungus used in the process of fermenting beer.
This well-known yeast is traditionally recommended for providing overall beauty support (skin, nails …) and for giving a boost to tired, coarse, thin, or dull hair.
Composition and benefits of brewer’s yeast
The potential effects of brewer’s yeast are the result of its high nutritional value:
- firstly, it is one of the most important natural sources of B vitamins, commonly used to support the health and appearance of hair, skin, and nails. It contains, amongst others, vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (niacin);
- secondly, it contains several minerals essential for health in general and/or hair health in particular (magnesium, iron, zinc...);
- it also contains proteins, the basic components of hair. Those in brewer’s yeast are particularly rich in essential amino acids;
- finally, brewer’s yeast contains polysaccharides with possible effects on the immune system and potential anti-inflammatory properties. These polysaccharides are thought to promote good scalp health, the site of hair follicles from which hair grows.
What exactly is in our brewer’s yeast supplement?
The ingredients in our Brewer’s Yeast Hair Boost supplement are:
- inactive brewer’s yeast (1 200 mg per daily dose): our supplement contains a high, optimal dose of brewer’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The term ‘inactive’ means that the cells of this microscopic fungus are no longer alive and do not, therefore, have any probiotic activity. Inactive brewer’s yeast is often better tolerated by the digestive system, as it does not cause fermentation or swelling in the gut. In addition, the particular brewer’s yeast chosen for our supplement contains a guaranteed minimum of 40% protein (1);
- zinc (70 mg of zinc bisglycinate per daily dose, which is 14 mg of elemental zinc a day): we have added zinc to our supplement as it helps to maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails. It plays a key role in hair follicle development, and as a powerful antioxidant, helps protect scalp cells against oxidative stress. Zinc bisglycinate is one of the most bioavailable forms of this important mineral (2);
- biotin (3 mg per daily dose): Brewer’s Yeast Hair Boost is enriched with vitamin B8 (biotin), as this ‘beauty vitamin’ helps maintain healthy hair by supporting scalp cells and protein metabolism including that of keratin, the main component of hair (3);
- vitamin B6 (10 mg per daily dose): the final ingredient in our supplement, vitamin B6 (pyridoxin), supports both the production of cysteine (a component of keratin) and the regulation of hormone activity, thus helping to prevent the hormone imbalances that can make hair too dry, greasy, thin or brittle (4).
This synergistic combination of brewer’s yeast, zinc and vitamins is ideal for anyone who finds their hair lacking in shine, too fine, sparse, or lacking in vitality.
How should Brewer’s Yeast Hair Boost be taken on a daily basis?
We recommend taking 2 capsules a day, with a glass of water.
What is in Brewer's Yeast Hair Boost
Any questions?
Brewer’s yeast supplements are not recommended for anyone suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases (such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease) or who is hypersensitive to biogenic amines (substances that can trigger migraines).
They should also be avoided if you are taking MAOI-type antidepressants or meperidine due to their high content of tyramine (an organic, monoamine-type chemical)
Understanding the lifecycle of hair
The hair growth cycle, which lasts an average of 3 to 4 years, governs how hair grows and is shed: we’re unaware of it because our hair growth is never all at the same stage (5). The regrowth and growth stages are critical for hair quality: they require an adequate supply of nutrients to the hair follicle. Without it, the result could be poorly formed, weak, and brittle hair (6).
Six tips for improving the health of your hair
Alongside supplementing with brewer’s yeast, we’d also recommend taking the following steps which should gradually make your hair healthier and more beautiful:
- wash and dry it gently (no hairdryers or straighteners), once or twice a week depending on your level of activity and your environment, softly massaging the scalp to stimulate microcirculation;
- have regular haircuts to remove split ends;
- avoid products and situations likely to break the disulphide bonds in keratin and damage the hair (7): bleaching, dyeing, harsh shampoos, tight hairstyles, over-exposure to sun and seawater, stress (8)…;
- avoid wearing beanie hats and other headgear every day;
- adopt healthy lifestyle habits, including a balanced diet, relaxation, and adequate sleep to promote good oxygenation of the scalp;
- if you’ve noticed you’re losing more hair than normal, you can also combine this special brewer’s yeast supplement with a specific anti-hair loss lotion.
Silicon and hair regrowth
If you have a particular problem with hair regrowth, you could try taking silicon as well as, or instead of, Brewer’s Yeast Hair Boost. Silicon is a mineral important for hair and nail structure. The supplement Hair Growth Booster, for example, provides a significant dose of both biotin and silicon, the latter in the form of arginine silicate for improved uptake.
Combine brewer’s yeast with collagen
And if you’re looking to take care of your skin and hair in general, you can combine your brewer’s yeast supplement with a course of marine collagen (such as the product Marine Collagen).
This product’s capsules are made of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant substance derived from cellulose. HPMC is widely used for medicines and dietary supplements. It contains no animal ingredients, is recognised as safe by health authorities, and is considered more sustainable than synthetic alternatives.

produit très couteux, après une prise d'un mois, aucun résultat. J'hésite à renouveler cet achat. Si la description était plus détaillée, avec des conseils sur la durée de traitement pour constater un résultat positif m'aurait encouragée à renouveler ce traitement.
very expensive product, after one month of use, no results. I hesitate to renew this purchase. If the description were more detailed, with advice on the duration of treatment to see a positive result, it would have encouraged me to renew this treatment.
