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.

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.

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.

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.

Aids immune health
158 people found this helpful
Works just as well as the expensive brands. I'm a firm believer in beta glucan, which has significantly improved my and my son’s health. Initially, I was using an expensive beta glucan that strained our budget. However, the extra strength NOW beta glucan is equally effective. My son takes it with apple sauce each morning, and I take two daily. We haven’t needed to visit the doctor this year! This is especially helpful for my son's immune issues and my allergies to our cat. Remember to take it on an empty stomach for best results.

This supplement is beneficial for enhancing immunity. I suffer from long-term nasal allergies, facing morning issues like a runny nose, sneezing, and congestion. After taking it, I noticed significant improvement. While it's not a cure, it has greatly alleviated my symptoms upon waking each day.
