We explored how carboxymethyl-glucan, a compound from yeast, impacts heart health in hypertensive rats. Rats were divided into groups, with some receiving carboxymethyl-glucan for four weeks while others received a placebo.
Results showed that carboxymethyl-glucan improved vascular function and decreased platelet aggregation, especially at a high dose. However, it didn’t lower levels of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species, indicating it may not fully protect against all cardiovascular issues.
Overall, this compound shows promise in helping to manage hypertension and related complications.

We explored the effects of the CNCM I-745 probiotic on cholesterol levels and gut bacteria in hamsters with high cholesterol. This controlled study revealed that daily doses significantly lowered total plasma cholesterol and altered gut microbiota. Specifically, we noted that the abundance of certain gut microbes was linked to changes in cholesterol levels and liver gene expression. These findings suggest that this probiotic not only benefits cholesterol levels but also supports gut health, offering potential for safe treatments in managing hypercholesterolemia.

We explored the effects of the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii on lung injury caused by aortic ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Twenty-one rats were divided into three groups, one receiving the probiotic and others receiving saline.
After the aorta was clamped, we noticed that those treated with S. boulardii experienced significantly less lung damage and reduced oxidative stress. This suggests the probiotic helps lower inflammation and oxidative stress markers, potentially leading to better outcomes in cardiovascular procedures.

Improves bowel function
6 people found this helpful
Good for kids and adults! I tried it on an adult during a bacterial illness alongside antibiotic treatment, with beneficial results. The capsules are gelatinous, and one part fits into the other and can be opened. For a 1.5-year-old child, 1/3 of the capsule was given with a confirmed bacterial infection. The child experienced relief from constipation, improved bowel function, and tolerated the illness better. A like would be appreciated if helpful!

Like other probiotics, Saccharomyces boulardii is a versatile treatment that not only aids in maintaining intestinal health but also enhances overall well-being and prevents stomach diseases. The drug is particularly effective for treating acute diarrhoea and is best taken in the evening to promote optimal development of probiotic microorganisms.

We explored the role of selenium and zinc enriched postbiotic yeast in addressing gut dysbiosis linked to cardiovascular disease. This study involved analyzing the effects of these postbiotics on microbial populations in the digestive system using various scientific methods.
We found that treatment with the enriched postbiotics led to a notable increase in beneficial bacteria and acetic acid levels. These results suggest that selenium and zinc postbiotics may hold therapeutic potential as adjuncts in treating cardiovascular diseases by improving gut health.

Probiotic yeast improves heart-healthy fats
This innovative study evaluated how adding the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii to buckwheat sprouts affects their fatty acid composition. Through careful analysis, we found that this modification leads to noteworthy changes in fatty acids, including palmitic and oleic acids.
These changes may enhance the nutritional value of buckwheat sprouts, potentially contributing to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Overall, our findings suggest that probiotic-rich buckwheat sprouts could serve as a functional dietary option for heart health.

Reduced remnant lipoprotein observed
We investigated how the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii affects blood cholesterol levels in adults with high cholesterol. In this single-arm, open-label pilot study, twelve participants took a specified dose of S. boulardii for eight weeks. While we monitored various cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health markers, results showed a noteworthy reduction in remnant lipoprotein, which could play a role in preventing coronary artery disease. However, overall cholesterol levels did not significantly change during the study.

Supports cardiovascular health
Medicine acknowledges the beneficial properties of Saccharomyces in diabetes and obesity; these yeasts rapidly alter the intestinal microbiota, leading to reductions in body fat and improvements in liver steatosis. Regular consumption of S. boulardii also diminishes the risk of coronary heart disease.

Selenium's potential in heart health
We investigated the effects of daily sodium selenite and Se-enriched yeast on heart health in atherosclerosis patients. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 60 participants, we found that these supplements significantly reduced inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory gene expressions.
We also observed enhancements in antioxidant levels, specifically glutathione peroxidases, while the harmful malondialdehyde levels decreased. Though results are promising, further research is necessary to confirm the true impact of selenium on cardiovascular disease risk.
