Saccharomyces boulardii reduces cholesterol
Anti-hypercholesterolemic effect of Saccharomyces boulardii in the hamster.
Relevant findings for future research
We explored the impact of Saccharomyces boulardii on high cholesterol levels in hamsters. The study involved two protocols: one preventive and one curative. In the preventive approach, the treatment reduced cholesterol by 14%, while the curative method achieved a 12% reduction. Additionally, S. boulardii cut down serum triglycerides by 39%. These promising results suggest that this probiotic could be a valuable ally in managing cholesterol, warranting further studies in humans.

Cholesterol reduction via probiotics
changes lipidemic profile and gut microbiota in a hamster hypercholesterolemic model.
Key findings in cholesterol treatment
We explored the effects of the probiotic CNCM I-745, also known as Saccharomyces boulardii, in hamsters with high cholesterol. Over 21 or 39 days, we administered daily doses that significantly reduced total plasma cholesterol levels and altered gut microbiota.
Notably, we found that changes in gut bacteria correlated with cholesterol levels. This study confirms the cholesterol-lowering benefits of Saccharomyces boulardii and highlights its potential impact on gut health, suggesting it could be a valuable option for treating high cholesterol in humans.

Saccharomyces boulardii shows promise
Effect of the Probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii on Cholesterol and Lipoprotein Particles in Hypercholesterolemic Adults: A Single-Arm, Open-Label Pilot Study.
Low sample size and scope.
Our exploration into the effects of Saccharomyces boulardii on cholesterol focused on a group of twelve individuals with high cholesterol. Over eight weeks, participants were given probiotic capsules twice a day.
We measured various cholesterol types and lipoprotein particles, aiming to see if S. boulardii could make a difference. While total cholesterol levels didn't show significant changes, we did notice a reduction in remnant lipoprotein, which is a promising indicator for heart health.
Although the study was small, it suggests that S. boulardii might play a role in managing cholesterol levels and heart disease risk.

Improving cholesterol levels
I have found the Jarrow Formulas series to be consistently good, and I have purchased it multiple times. The main ingredient, mannan oligosaccharide from konjac, is hard to digest but helps adjust the intestinal environment. I believe it can improve cholesterol levels and fasting blood glucose, so I take it with a glass of water.

Saccharomyces reduces cholesterol effectively
Nutraceuticals vs. antibiotic growth promoters: differential impacts on performance, meat quality, blood lipids, cecal microbiota, and organ histomorphology of broiler chicken.
Highly relevant to health findings
We aimed to compare the effects of nutraceuticals and antibiotic growth promoters on various health aspects of broiler chickens. Over 35 days, 320 one-day-old male chickens were grouped and fed different diets, including a probiotic mixed with Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Our findings showed that the probiotic group notably reduced cholesterol and total lipids while enhancing beneficial bacteria in the gut. Improvements in weight gain and meat quality were also observed. Ultimately, using probiotics like Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics in poultry diets.

Fermented fruits reduce cholesterol levels
Fermented Cerasus humilis fruits protect against high-fat diet induced hyperlipidemia which is associated with alteration of gut microbiota.
Moderate relevance for cholesterol treatment
We examined how fermented Cerasus humilis fruits, enhanced by Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can help lower high cholesterol levels.
These fermented fruits showed improved properties, such as higher nutrient content and lower sugar levels, compared to their non-fermented counterparts.
In our findings, fermentation effectively reduced cholesterol accumulation and improved gut microbiota. While treatment with these fruits significantly lowered weight gain and oxidative stress, the overall results indicate a promising, yet limited, effect on hyperlipidemia management.
