Potential asthma management via yeast
Perinatal administration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG A-905 prevents asthma development in the offspring of mice.
Moderate relevance to asthma prevention
We explored how perinatal administration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG A-905 could help prevent asthma in mouse offspring. This study involved various groups of mice receiving the yeast at different stages: before conception, during pregnancy, or only during lactation.

Our results showed that those exposed to S. cerevisiae exhibited significantly less airway hyperresponsiveness and lower levels of certain inflammatory markers compared to those that didn’t receive the treatment. Notably, the greatest protection occurred when the yeast was given during lactation.

Overall, it seems that S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 shows promise in the management of asthma, especially when administered early in the offspring's development.

UFMG A-905 bread and asthma
A Functional Bread Fermented with UFMG A-905 Prevents Allergic Asthma in Mice.
High relevance for allergy management
We aimed to examine whether bread fermented with UFMG A-905 could help prevent allergic asthma. In our study, we created three types of bread and tested them on mice sensitized to allergens.

The results showed that the UFMG A-905 fermented bread could significantly reduce some asthma-like symptoms, particularly when paired with microcapsules containing live yeast.

Overall, this suggests that incorporating UFMG A-905 into food could be a promising approach for managing allergies.

EpiCor reduces cold/flu symptoms
Efficacy of a yeast postbiotic on cold/flu symptoms in healthy children: A randomized-controlled trial.
Highly relevant study findings
We investigated how EpiCor, a yeast-derived postbiotic, influences cold and flu symptoms in children aged 4-12. Two hundred fifty-six kids participated in a randomized, controlled trial over 84 days during the flu season.

Those receiving EpiCor showed significantly less symptom severity and reduced use of cold medications compared to the placebo group.

This suggests EpiCor is a promising option to boost immune function and reduce illness in school-aged children without undesirable side effects.

Hives improved
I have long-term allergies, particularly urticaria, that have troubled me for years. Although I have taken antihistamines for a long time, my doctor advised that without changes in my body, the symptoms would persist. I decided to start taking a supplement to boost my immunity. I have been consuming this product for over a year, and the greatest benefit is that the hives have vanished!

Less allergies
I adore this product! I take it to strengthen my immunity. While I used to frequently experience colds and hives, those occurrences are dwindling. It’s a nutrient that considerably enhances both immunity and sleep quality, and it's reasonably priced.

Allergy relief
Super drug - I did not expect such effectiveness. My allergies have disappeared, and my stool has improved.

Nasal allergy improvement
Acceptable taste. I recommend it as my nasal allergies have greatly improved; I previously needed anti-allergy medication weekly, but now I only sneeze upon waking. I plan to keep repurchasing! I take two pills before lunch daily.

Effective relief
Good. I have used it for a long time, and it effectively alleviates my nasal allergies.
