Frequently Asked Questions

What are the health benefits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae?

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast used in baking and brewing, is associated with nutritional value as a source of protein and B vitamins (as nutritional yeast) and of cell-wall beta-glucans studied for immune support. Specific effects depend on the strain and preparation. SwissMedicare Probiotics supplies Saccharomyces cerevisiae in lysate form for formulation development.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used by humans for thousands of years to leaven bread and ferment beer and wine, with evidence of yeast fermentation dating to ancient civilisations. In the modern era it became a key model organism in biology, and in 1996 it was the first eukaryote to have its complete genome sequenced.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a life cycle that alternates between haploid and diploid forms. Both forms reproduce asexually by budding. Haploid cells of opposite mating types (a and alpha) can fuse to form diploid cells, and under nutrient starvation diploid cells undergo meiosis and sporulation, producing four haploid spores in an ascus.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae grows optimally at around 30 °C in a slightly acidic environment, roughly pH 4.5–6, with a fermentable sugar such as glucose, plus nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. It is a facultative anaerobe: it respires with oxygen and ferments sugars to ethanol and carbon dioxide when oxygen is limited or sugar is plentiful.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae rarely causes disease and is generally regarded as safe in food use. Uncommon opportunistic infections, such as fungemia, have been reported mainly in immunocompromised or critically ill patients, often with central venous catheters. Antibodies against this yeast (ASCA) are also associated with Crohn's disease, although the yeast is not considered its cause.

A positive Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgG (ASCA IgG) means antibodies against this yeast's cell-wall components were detected in the blood. ASCA positivity is associated with Crohn's disease and helps doctors distinguish it from ulcerative colitis, but it is not diagnostic on its own and can occur in other conditions or healthy people. Results should be interpreted by a physician.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is eukaryotic. As a single-celled fungus, it has a true membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria and other organelles, and its DNA is organised into 16 chromosomes. This is why it is widely used as a model organism for studying eukaryotic cell biology, genetics and ageing.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is generally considered good for health in food and supplement contexts, providing protein, B vitamins and beta-glucans, and it has a long history of safe use. However, people who are immunocompromised, critically ill or sensitive to yeast should consult a healthcare professional. Benefits depend on the specific strain and preparation.
