Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been the foundation of human food culture for thousands of years. Unsurprisingly it also plays a role in the health of our gut . In fact, most reports indicate that it thrives in a healthy rather than a diseased gut where it exerts an anti-inflammatory effect. It does not produce any toxins, and is generally regarded as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
