Yeast Immune Boost

Yeast Immune Boost

Supplementing mice with Candida intermedia—a non-pathogenic yeast—enhanced immune responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. The mice showed higher levels of key immune markers, while also improving gut health by increasing beneficial bacteria and reducing inflammatory strains. This yeast acted like a probiotic, balancing the microbiome and strengthening mucosal defenses.
