Yeast polysaccharides may reduce inflammation
We investigated the role of certain yeast polysaccharides in modulating immune responses related to autoimmune disorders. Our focus was on mannan/β-1,6-glucan-containing polysaccharides (MGCP), which showed strong anti-inflammatory properties.

MGCP prompted the development of regulatory T cells and reduced harmful immune responses in models of inflammatory diseases. While we saw promising results in laboratory settings, these findings emphasize the potential of using yeast-derived compounds for therapeutic approaches in treating autoimmune conditions.

We evaluated the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its selenized form, Selemax, on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model for multiple sclerosis.

Mice receiving both supplements showed improved symptoms and a reduced immune response. Selemax was notably more effective, enhancing beneficial gut bacteria and promoting specific immune responses.

These findings highlight the potential for selenized S. cerevisiae to play a role in modulating the gut-brain connection, indicating its promise for future clinical trials.

Yeast-exclusion improves skin symptoms
We explored the effects of a yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)-exclusion diet alongside surgery on patients with hidradenitis suppurativa over six years. Our study involved 185 patients, with 37 receiving treatment at our center. Remarkably, 70% of those on the diet noticed improvements in their symptoms.

Additionally, we found that 87% experienced recurrence of skin lesions shortly after consuming yeast. Our findings hint at a link between hidradenitis suppurativa and food intolerance, which may provide insight into its management, particularly regarding inflammation reduction.

I ordered it to enhance my daughter's immunity, and perhaps due to its effectiveness, she has not experienced the usual atopy this year. I am considering continuing to give it to her. The packaging is very thorough.

We explored a novel oral drug delivery system designed specifically for treating IgA nephropathy, an autoimmune disorder. Using hydroxychloroquine and dexamethasone paired with yeast cell walls, we aimed for targeted delivery to the ileal region.

Our findings revealed that this system effectively reduced harmful IgA levels and improved kidney tissue health in test subjects. We also noted significant reductions in inflammatory markers, suggesting potential benefits in managing IgA nephropathy through this innovative approach.

Effective anti-BAMBI treatment in mice
We investigated the effects of a novel treatment targeting BAMBI, a protein involved in immune cell regulation, on autoimmune disorders like psoriasis and arthritis in mice. Through careful experimentation with control groups, we found that the anti-BAMBI antibody significantly increased protective Treg cells and reduced disease progression in various models. This treatment effectively prevented skin psoriasis and type II collagen-induced arthritis, hinting at new therapeutic possibilities for chronic inflammatory conditions driven by immune system dysfunction.

We explored how ABBi16, a blend of β-glucans from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, impacts immune responses in the context of autoimmune conditions. Our findings indicate that ABBi16 effectively promotes Th1 responses while increasing IL-10 and IL-22 secretion, contributing to a balanced immune response. Notably, this compound did not trigger IL-17 production, which is an inflammatory marker, suggesting that it is a safe oral supplement for those with autoimmune disorders. Overall, ABBi16 shows promise in promoting a more regulated immune system.
