When it comes to hair loss supplements, brewer's yeast is definitely among the top five.?

Brewer's yeast!

is something that anyone suffering from hair loss has probably tried at least once.

It's one of the most representative supplements out there.!

It's easy to access, easy to take, and has virtually no major side effects.

That's probably why so many people encounter it early on..

When I first confessed to my mother about my hair loss,

she recommended brewer's yeastâit's that famous, haha.

However, as famous as it is, there are many false claims and advertisements

circulating about brewer's yeast..

In particular, brewer's yeast is primarily classified as a food product rather than a medicinal supplement,

so quality marks that can indicate product quality

are relatively absent compared to medicinal supplements....

When I started looking into and analyzing brewer's yeast,

there was a lack of resources and no way to prove quality,

so I was quite confused for a while..

Still,…

as I went through hair loss (see the biotin section),!)

I studied quite a bit about hair loss.?

By reading various materials and examining numerous products,

I began to understand

how to evaluate brewer's yeast.!

So starting now,,

I'll tell you how I evaluated brewer's yeast,

and what approach I took toward it.

Let me share that with you now.!

0. Behind-the-Scenes Story

Brewer's yeast is the supplement I've encountered most frequently,

and simultaneously the one I've been recommended the most..

Honestly! (From now on, this is my mother speaking)!)

A friend's father couldn't be treated with regular hair loss medication,

so he was worried.

But when he combined it with brewer's yeast for treatment,

his bald crown filled in, or so she said.?

At that time, I didn't know much about hair loss,,

so I was treating it by combining finasteride with scalp massage therapy for hair loss

at the same time..

But... without seeing such dramatic results and feeling anxious,

I was recommended several supplements by various people.,

And among them, my mother recommended brewer's yeast

very strongly while telling that story.?

Thanks to that, I ended up experimenting a lot on my body...

Well, the result was that my condition improved.!

Of course, what I believe is the number one contributor is biotin,but,

this brewer's yeast also seems to have had quite a significant effect..

As you'll see in the biotin behind-the-scenes story,,

during my exam preparation years,

I experienced nutritional imbalances..

So hair loss came along with several other issues,,

and to treat stress-induced and nutritional imbalance-related hair loss,

I clearly analyzed the causes,,

then set my treatment direction toward taking supplements based on hair components,

including biotin and brewer's yeast,

and treated my hair loss to some extent..

Recently, many hair loss supplements

have come under scrutiny regarding their therapeutic effects..

In fact, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regarding biotin and brewer's yeast,

issued an official notice to prevent harm from exaggerated advertising,

to the point that a pessimistic view of hair loss supplements

has begun to emerge..

Is it really safe to take? Are the effects real??

I can say with certainty here:.

The effects are definitely real.!

However, you must thoroughly analyze your hair loss condition and its causes,

and take supplements that fit your situation along with treatment medications for the effects to be present..

If you take brewer's yeast blindly,

its efficacy may diminish..

But if you do it with thorough understanding,

there's no other supplement as reliable as this..

The introduction was long, wasn't it?!

So how did I evaluate brewer's yeast?

Let me show you.~?

1. Active Ingredients

Brewer's yeast doesn't increase in efficacy just because you take more of it.!

According to most research,…

brewer's yeast

3000mg at a certain level is considered most ideal.!

Because of this, at YakAl (our outlet),

if a product's brewer's yeast content exceeds a certain level,

we consider it to have sufficient amounts of brewer's yeast

and evaluate it accordingly.

2. Brand

Brewer's yeast is actually

sitting in both categoriesâhealth functional foods and food products.

!

A typical example would be…

when brewer's yeast is not the main ingredient but various secondary ingredients like vitamins or biotin are included.

These are classified as health functional foods,while,

when products consist only of brewer's yeast

as tablets or powder,

they are classified as general food products..

So how are you supposed to distinguish between health functional foods and general foods?

…?

The answer is simple:.

If a health functional food mark is attached, it's a health functional food;,

if it's not attached, it's a general food product..

It's an absurd answer, but,

there's no surer way to distinguish than this..

If there's no health functional food mark,

it means it's not a supplement.!

That's why at YakAl,

we prioritized the presence or absence of health functional food marks,,

and diligently researched the source of the raw material extraction

to check country of origin such as German or Lithuanian,

and thoroughly verified whether the company that produced it in that country is a validated company.,

!

For products classified as general food, we also

verified the presence or absence of HACCP,

and if there were various other international certification marks attached,

we reflected that in our evaluation as well..

Because we checked so many different items,,

you can now see how trustworthy a brand is.?

3. Quality

When evaluating product quality,

more complex calculations and evaluation methods are applied than you might think..

Among these, if I had to point out one key factor,,

‘it's 'how the drying method is implemented.'!

Classification	Description	Quality
Inactivated Brewer's Yeast (Inactive yeast))	Killed at high temperatures, leaving only proteins and vitamins. Not alive.	Common
Dried Active Brewer's Yeast (Active yeast))	Dried but partially alive yeast. Rarely expected to have functional benefits like lactic acid bacteria.	Specialized
Beer Production By-product Origin	Yeast left after beer brewing and then dried. Inexpensive.	Low
Feed-grade Yeast (Feed grade))	Quality used as livestock feed. Falls below food-grade standards.	Very Low
Dedicated Food-grade Ingredient (Food grade))	High-purity cultured yeast for human consumption.	High

Among these, low-temperature dried active brewer's yeast

is known to have the most effective components,,

so we adopted the low-temperature drying method among drying techniques,

and designated products with active brewer's yeast as the best products.!

Additionally, we placed importance on the purity of brewer's yeast content,,

and when the purity of brewer's yeast in each product was not listed,

we calculated it ourselves,,

and when there was no information at all,

we assigned only basic pointsâ

we were that meticulous in our scoring..

Additionally, we tried to incorporate the various quality-enhancing efforts of the manufacturer, such as the supplement's form, capsule size, material of the form or packaging, and special technologies,

as much as possible..

4. Secondary Ingredients

In this secondary ingredient section,

the difference between health functional foods and general food products is pronounced.,

In the case of health functional foods, to be classified as a supplement,

ingredients other than brewer's yeast become the main components.,

Along with brewer's yeast,

various ingredients that can help with hair loss are included,

so there's an advantage in being able to create a synergistic effect..

In the case of general food products, primarily

high-purity brewer's yeast is the main ingredient,

so there's an advantage in being able to consume as much quality brewer's yeast as desired.

.

Because of this, in this category,

brewer's yeast products classified as health functional foods

receive higher evaluations..

Beyond that,

we evaluate whether the secondary ingredients can truly help with hair loss,,

how many unnecessary ingredients are included,,

and other such considerations..

In Closing…

By considering these various factors,

we

review brewer's yeast as carefully as possible

and evaluate it as rigorously as possible..

Because I've tried it myself,

and proven it,,

and to not betray my fellow hair loss sufferers,,

I worked hard in my evaluation with the mindset that I'm evaluating something I would take.

.

Since these are supplements that all of you will be taking,,

going forward, I will evaluate other supplements too

just as I would when choosing supplements for myself.!
