Women and girls are often concerned about gaining excess weight, as a result of which they resort to all sorts of diets, intense exercise and other nonsense in the form of using weight loss drugs that do not lead to a positive result. But there is a category of women suffering from critically reduced weight. Yes, yes, this is possible and it appears in the form of unhealthy thinness, protruding joints, lack of breasts and thighs that are impressive to the male gaze. As a rule, such women are in search of a way to gain weight. An effective method includes the use of brewer's yeast, which leads to an increase in weight and volume - which is what skinny beauties strive for. How it works?
Causes of underweight
Before deciding to use drugs or consume yeast to gain weight, it is necessary to find out the cause of its deficiency. Here it is important to understand the power of preventing harm to the body, since the beginning of “treatment” with yeast can provoke a hormonal disorder - a person will begin to gain weight sharply without “stopping”.
The causes of weight loss include the following factors:
- A person’s choice – excessive dieting and intense sports lead to excessive weight loss. As a result, a person approaches or reaches the stage of dystrophy, from which it is extremely difficult to get out of it - those losing weight can no longer eat in large quantities due to impaired functioning of the stomach and digestive tract.
- Digestive tract disorders can occur without dieting. Such deviations in the normal functioning of the body are manifested by bloating and pain in the stomach and intestines immediately after eating food. Therefore, a sick person is forced to limit himself to liquid dishes, soups and hot liquids.
- Endocrine disorder - occurs much more often, which is caused by hereditary predisposition, stress and other factors that lead to increased production of thyroid hormones.
- Diabetes mellitus - sudden weight loss is often accompanied by dizziness and headaches, as a result of which the patient does not perceive the first symptoms of diabetes mellitus. With such a weight deficit, type 1 diabetes is always diagnosed.
- Psychological factors - manifest themselves in complete refusal to eat due to fear of weight gain. A similar reason is often found among young girls who are afraid to gain weight and not “fit” into model standards.
Surprisingly, even a previously healthy person can rapidly lose weight due to the development of one of the factors. If the above was noticed, and the diet did not change during the loss of kilograms, you should consult a doctor for a full examination.
What is brewer's yeast?
Brewer's yeast is a substance used in brewing to ferment sugar. The substance is actively used in solving weight problems and in the treatment of various diseases of the body. However, one should not assume that brewer’s yeast is a cure for all problems. This substance acts for the human body only as a dietary supplement, because it contains a large amount of vitamins, minerals and other useful microelements.
Brewer's yeast today can be purchased in tablets, which, in addition to the main ingredient, also include additional beneficial substances. But it is more useful to take real brewer's yeast, diluting it strictly according to the instructions.
Composition of the product
The composition includes the following components:
- vitamin B1 - the main component involved in metabolism - ensures the transmission of a nerve signal to the brain;
- B4 – designed to strengthen nerve sheaths, improve liver function and restore damaged tissues;
- B5 – designed to fight viruses, therefore it is included in antiviral drugs;
- B6 – ensures normal functioning of the nervous system;
- B12 – restores cell regeneration, ensures their growth;
- vitamins E, PP, H, D - are intended to saturate cellular tissue.
The composition also contains calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, phosphorus and other useful substances that support the functioning of human internal organs, strengthening bones and enveloping joints.
Impact on the body
Brewer's yeast is useful not only for weight gain and restoration of metabolism. This food product has the following effects on the human body:
- improves and restores the functioning of the digestive system;
- normalizes hormonal levels, even if there were previously deviations;
- helps to normalize cholesterol levels in human blood, so brewing yeast is recommended for overweight people (but according to indications);
- restores the lack of living bacteria, therefore, according to indications, it is recommended for a child to restore the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
- fills cells and tissues with energy reserves;
- accelerates the absorption of nutrients.
Despite the benefits of the product, the presented product is prohibited for consumption without appropriate examination and recommendations of a specialist.
Contraindications for use
Despite all the benefits of this remedy, there are some contraindications that must be taken into account before using it. So, you should not use this remedy in the following cases:
- If you have hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.
- Against the background of kidney disease.
- Due to its nucleic acid content, this drug is contraindicated in the elderly.
- With optic nerve atrophy, which is a genetic disease.
- Against the background of fungal diseases.
- Children under three years of age.
- During pregnancy and gout.
Next, let's get acquainted with reviews from consumers who use brewer's yeast for prevention and treatment.
For weight gain – what is the impact?
It sounds surprising, but brewer's yeast will not lead to weight gain, but will only restore it to normal. This is due to the following processes:
- Restoring metabolism helps increase appetite.
- Brewer's yeast normalizes insulin production. This enzyme helps restore blood glucose levels, which in certain situations provokes or, conversely, suppresses appetite - there will be exactly the opposite effect.
- Contained vitamins B and D block the accumulation of fats on the walls of the liver. This gradually leads to improved absorption of beneficial microelements contained in food products. Thus, the fiber contained in cabbage will burn fat, and the fat content in foods will quickly be converted into carbohydrates, which will lead to the accumulation of fat.
- Yeast contains sodium, which stabilizes the water-salt balance in humans - this eliminates excess liquid or, conversely, restores its quantity.
- The fiber in brewer's yeast relieves a person from intestinal problems. With the help of the presented product, you can not only get rid of constipation, but also remove waste and toxins from the body, as a result of which it begins to work correctly.
There are other processes that help restore normal functioning of the body and gain weight.

Effective drugs
Before considering the question of which brewer's yeast should be taken for better results, it is necessary to consider possible medications.

Brewer's yeast for weight gain is contained in a large number of preparations, among which the most effective ones are distinguished.

Which brewer's yeast is best for acne?
Let's take a closer look at the most popular brewer's yeast:
- “Nagipol 2” - this yeast is available in tablet form; it contains a large amount of amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
- "Evisent" is a preparation based on brewer's yeast in tablet form with the additional addition of sulfur. The product eliminates the deficiency of B vitamins and has a positive effect on the condition of the skin, nails and hair. Works great on subcutaneous acne.
- “Ekko-Plus” - a whole range of different brewer’s yeasts are produced under this brand.
- "Osokor" - the use of this yeast supplement allows you to reduce the severity of any skin rashes, including acne. Brewer's yeast contains carotene, which has a positive effect on hair and nails, as well as vitamin C, sulfur, zinc and selenium in the form of oxides.
When treating acne, yeast is used before meals so that food is better absorbed. It is optimal to consume them twenty minutes before eating food. A more detailed course of treatment should be discussed with your doctor.
Nutritional considerations while taking brewer's yeast
When choosing a drug containing brewer's yeast for weight gain, you should take into account the characteristics of food intake, which include:
- fractional meals - at least 4-5 times a day;
- consume fatty foods, sweets and salty foods carefully and in small quantities - they form a fatty layer;
- the main and complete meal is breakfast, because it is important to provide the body with a charge of strength and energy;
- During the period of taking brewer's yeast, it is important to exercise and lead an active lifestyle so that fat cells are deposited evenly;
- if high-intensity training is used, after each session take a break from exercise for 2-3 days.
These are the basic rules of nutrition and behavior when taking brewing yeast. But the main point is the timing of drug use. It is calculated individually and the “treatment” is stopped immediately after reaching 70% of the desired body weight.
Consumer opinion: is it really that important?
Often, when choosing a particular nutritional supplement, many of us are guided by the advice and recommendations of friends and acquaintances. And doctors are always skeptical about such a choice, which in most cases is an absolutely correct reaction. You cannot buy nasal drops or cough medicine based solely on the dubious opinions of other consumers. Perhaps the only exception to the rule is vitamin yeast supplements.
If you do not have the above-mentioned abnormalities in your body, you are not expecting the birth of a baby and are not breastfeeding a newborn, it will be quite normal to listen to the opinions of other people when choosing a drug. So, if we draw a parallel between various women's forums, we can notice the following pattern:
- There are favorable reviews about brewer's yeast with calcium and magnesium for strengthening hair and nails. Women claim that with regular use of dietary supplements, their hair becomes silky, their hair becomes less tangled, and their nails become significantly stronger.
- According to many reviews, brewer's yeast with sulfur will help with acne. Over a one-month course of the drug, the skin will significantly clear, redness, peeling and itching will disappear.
- In addition, many ladies believe that yeast supplement slows down the aging process, reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles and has a unique lifting effect.
- Since the drug contains dietary fiber, it is often used for problems with bowel movements. Thus, brewer's yeast began to be regularly consumed by people suffering from constipation and poor absorption of nutrients.
Preparing the drink
Most people who use the presented method to gain weight note that it is much more effective to take a specially prepared drink. There are several recipes for making your own drink. The difficulty lies in finding a starter whose shelf life, as mentioned above, is no more than 2 days.
Traditional recipe
The traditional recipe also includes a standard set of products, which includes:
- brewer's yeast – 50 g;
- black bread – 15 g;
- water – 300 ml.
First, prepare bread croutons - cut the bread into small pieces and put it on a baking sheet in the oven to achieve a golden brown crust. The resulting crackers are poured with boiling water, the vessel is covered with a lid and wrapped in a thick blanket, leaving the contents for 3 hours.
After time, the resulting drink is filtered and 45 g of yeast is poured into it. Everything is thoroughly mixed and sent to the fire. As soon as the liquid boils, remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly. The remaining yeast is poured into the already warm drink.
Mix everything again and leave to ferment for 8 hours. The drink can be taken during the day, half a glass half an hour before meals. The number of doses per day should not exceed 5-6 times.
Drink with lemon
For lovers of sour things, a recipe with the addition of lemon zest is perfect. To prepare the composition you will need the following ingredients:
- 200 g rye bread;
- liter of water;
- 200 g brewer's yeast;
- lemon zest from half the fruit.
The bread is cut into pieces and sent to dry in the oven until golden brown. The pieces are poured with boiling water and left to infuse for 4 hours. Afterwards, the drink is filtered and yeast and lemon zest are added to the warm composition. The mixture is simply left to ferment for 8 hours. Drink the finished composition half a glass no more than 4 times a day.
With sugar
Yeast drink is difficult to drink due to its specific taste and smell. The smell and taste can be “interrupted” a little with lemon, but sometimes you can use a recipe that adds sugar to the drink. This component is prohibited for weight loss, but it will come in handy for weight gain. In addition, the presented drink is often prepared for children during the treatment of a certain disease.
So, to prepare a drink with sugar you will need the following products:
- yeast – 10 g;
- sugar – 10 g;
- water – 100 ml.
Yeast and sugar are mixed and poured with warm water, leaving for an hour to ferment. Then take the drink half an hour before meals. If this drink is consumed by a child, the contents are divided in half. Adults can drink this amount at one time to gain weight.
You can also purchase brewer's yeast in dry form - in this case, you should carefully choose the manufacturer. It is better to use yeast in a concentrated starter, which contains more useful microelements - during production, dry yeast already swells, sharing all the useful microelements with the contents.
In addition, a certain amount of dry yeast may not be viable, which will lead to early termination of fermentation and poor results, and sometimes even no results at all. It is not recommended to purchase dry yeast in dry form and in large quantities - it fizzles out. A prepared drink made from brewing yeast can be stored for no more than a day, and the ability and benefits of the yeast begin to decline after only 3 hours of storing the liquid. Therefore, it is better to cover the prepared drink tightly with a lid so that they do not “fizzle out.”
Contraindications to the use of yeast
The benefits of brewer's yeast for the human body are unconditional, but this unique and rather interesting product has contraindications for use. They must be taken into account, because in case of deviation from the norms you will have to face troubles.
Since brewer's yeast is a simple fungus, it is contraindicated in the presence of the following diseases:
- predisposition to the development of an allergic reaction;
- diagnosed or undetected candidiasis dysbiosis - intestinal diseases;
- any fungal disease in the body - including thrush in women;
- development of gout;
- renal abnormalities;
- allergy to bacteria contained in brewer's yeast.
No matter how beneficial brewer's yeast is, its use should only be done with the permission of a doctor. In this case, a person who has never taken the product must undergo appropriate testing to identify an allergic reaction to the main component. Otherwise, the risk of complications increases.
Dedicated to vitamin deficiency, laziness and apathy
It’s already 7 am and it’s time to get up for work, but you don’t have the strength? It also happens that you don’t even have the desire to perform basic actions, such as taking a shower and preparing breakfast. And ordinary small joys do not bring an enthusiastic feeling.
Laziness and apathy can be a signal that the body simply lacks vitamins. In this case, it makes sense not only to drink a vitamin complex, but also to strengthen the body from the inside, paying special attention to B vitamins. Of course, all the necessary macro- and microelements can be obtained from food, but this is provided that you will not only eat fast food and semi-finished products.
If there are not enough nutrients in your diet, symptoms of their deficiency will periodically bother you. It is precisely these citizens “deprived” of vitamins that would benefit from drinking a course of brewer’s yeast. In addition to vitamin doping, the use of yeast complexes will help get rid of a number of problems. For example, due to the active action of amino acids, calcium and phosphorus, which are part of brewer’s yeast, the following processes are established in the body:
- Bone and muscle tissue is strengthened, especially in the thoracic spine. Due to this, the risk of developing serious heart and liver diseases is significantly reduced.
- There is active cell renewal and rejuvenation of the body from the inside.
- Along with the saturation of brain cells with vitamins, the psychological component also returns to normal. Nervousness decreases, the ability to withstand stress increases, and mood improves. That is why brewer's yeast is recommended for women with severe premenstrual syndrome.
- Chromium contained in the dietary supplement normalizes insulin levels in the blood and thereby allows you to control sugar levels. This drug can be a revelation for diabetics.
- Digestion improves, appetite and metabolism increase. Thanks to this, it is recommended to drink brewer's yeast in tablets to gain weight, while subcutaneous fat does not accumulate, and all the energy received goes into muscle mass.
It has been proven that, unlike baker's yeast that is familiar to us, brewer's yeast is well absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and does not cause side effects such as bloating, diarrhea and other intestinal disorders.
In addition, yeast vitamin complexes have been successfully used for a long time in the treatment of low stomach acidity. They act as an effective stimulator of the secretory function of the stomach, due to which gastric juice begins to be intensively produced, even more than when eating rye bread, broths and milk.
Complications from taking brewer's yeast
A person may not have any contraindications for the use of brewer's yeast, but complications often develop during long-term use. Here are the following manifestations:
- urticaria, rash, itching, diathesis and other skin lesions;
- gastrointestinal disorders - diarrhea, bloating and other abnormalities;
- manifestation of an allergic reaction - redness of the skin, excessive salivation and other unpleasant symptoms.
Often, after prolonged consumption of yeast drinks or drugs, people develop fungal infections - thrush, intestinal dysbiosis caused by the proliferation of Candida fungi, stomatitis and others. This is due to hormonal imbalance, weakened immunity, past colds and other characteristics of the body. If these problems occur, stop taking yeast and immediately consult a doctor for examination and appropriate treatment.
Skin improvement
With the use of brewer's yeast, people's facial skin improves significantly. Yeast is especially helpful for problematic and oily skin, which is characterized by enlarged pores, pimples and acne. They improve yeast and hair condition, while simultaneously strengthening the roots and eliminating dandruff. They can be used externally in the form of masks. Recipes for preparing masks from yeast are very effective, but, judging by the reviews, they have a drawback, which is that after their use a strong and persistent yeast smell appears from the hair, which cannot be washed off easily.
Brewer's yeast helps strengthen the immune system, exhibiting a high antioxidant effect and preventing early aging. In addition, they are a good prevention of liver cancer. It is often recommended to take brewer's yeast for weight gain or, conversely, for weight loss. True, in each specific case the approach to using the drug will be different.
Many people are interested in which brewer's yeast is best for acne.
A special feature of brewer's yeast is its ability to increase the content of healthy cholesterol in the body. At the same time, bad cholesterol, on the contrary, decreases. For example, taking two tablespoons of brewer's yeast just once a day for two months helps reduce cholesterol by ten percent.
The use of brewer's yeast is also useful for wounds and cuts, since the active components of this remedy have the property of accelerating the regenerative process in tissues.
Reviews
- Maria Kazachenko, 21 years old, Syzran: “I drank brewer’s yeast to gain weight. I took them for 2 months. During this time I gained only 5 kg. With my initial weight of 48 kg and height 165 cm, this is a drop in the ocean. I want to weigh at least 60. Now I weigh 53 kg and I still look very skinny, everyone still laughs at me - when the wind starts blowing strong, everyone tries to grab me by the armpit, otherwise I’ll suddenly fly away.”
- Natalya Samoilenko, 34 years old, Astrakhan: “I was always underweight, I went through all the examinations in childhood - nothing was revealed. There are no such thin people in my family; on the contrary, everyone is plump. My parents reassured me: if you give birth, you will gain weight. I gave birth - I didn’t gain weight, and even became thinner due to household chores. With a height of 173 cm, I weigh only 51 kg. Model appearance - the absence of female outlines - is not attractive in principle. I drink brewer's yeast, but my weight increases while I drink it. As soon as I stop drinking, everything goes away immediately.”
- Alexander Kryukov, 23 years old, Moscow: “I do modeling - I take part in shows, act in commercials. He was prone to being overweight. When I started gaining weight, they set a condition for me - I had to lose weight. As a result, I lost so much weight that I didn’t want to live – I was treated for anorexia for a long time. Now there is no problem - I eat everything, even fast food, but I can’t gain weight. I started drinking brewer's yeast and there were results. In two weeks I have already gained 2 kg, for me this is simply an amazing result. I will continue to drink them until I get what I want.”
Brewer's yeast for weight gain is not a panacea that can solve problems quickly and with great positive results. You should not rely entirely on such treatment. It is important to exercise, eat foods that are high in calories but low in fat, walk in the fresh air, and undergo regular health checks. Unreasonable weight loss indicates the development of a disease, where diabetes and oncology are among the most dangerous. The sooner the cause of weight loss is identified, the faster you can eliminate it and return to your previous attractive shape.
