3. Healthy Skin, Hair, and Nails
Does your skin feel dry and flaxy? Are your hair and nails feeling thin and brittle? Research shows that adding nutritional yeast to your diet improves the health of your hair, skin, and nails. A 2015 study conducted on adolescents and mature women shows that teenagers and women in their twenties experience significant improvement in skin health after eating nutritional yeast in the diet for 8-weeks.
The study also shows that mature women may benefit the most from the therapeutic action of nutritional yeast in strengthening hair and nails. However, it’s important to note that all age groups received some form of benefit for their skin, hair, and nails.
Another study suggests that adding nutritional yeast to your diet consistently helps to reduce the frequency and severity of eczema outbreaks in both men and women. Vitamin D, calcium, and folate – found in significant quantities in nutritional yeast, are responsible for these health benefits.
