Cardiovascular benefits of yeast compound
Yeast carboxymethyl-glucan improves endothelial function and inhibits platelet aggregation in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Moderate relevance for hypertension research
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.

Selenium's potential in heart health
Sodium selenite and Se-enriched yeast supplementation in atherosclerotic patients: Effects on the expression of pyroptosis-related genes and oxidative stress status.
Moderate relevance for cardiovascular research
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.

Reduces vascular disease
Beta-glucan is effective in lowering bad cholesterol and reducing the risk of vascular diseases. It dissolves in the intestines to form a gel that combines with unsaturated fats and harmful cholesterol, preventing their absorption. They are then expelled naturally from the body.

Boosts immunity greatly
I purchased this product for my dog's skin condition. Even with a continuous dosage of just 100mg, I've noticed remarkable improvement in my dog's atopic skin. Beta-glucan evidently has a significant effect on immunity.

Supports heart health
This product gives me increased energy. I take it to manage my high cholesterol, and it has effectively reduced it to safer levels. Additionally, it aids in my heart condition, particularly as heart disease runs in my family.
