Observations and Anecdotal Information

This species of yeast is being recommended in wholistic medicine for a wide range of possible benefits, including lowering blood sugar, lowering non-beneficial cholesterol levels, and increasing digestive strength.

It has even been cited for anti-cancer effects, antibiotic like effects, and positive effects on the heart and circulatory system.

It has also been found to increase cell levels of beta-glucan, a nutrient that can protect DNA against ultraviolet light deterioration.

This is such a new essential oil product that the health benefits are unproven and  mostly unknown.  It shows a lot of promise and should be explored by those who are working with new “herbal remedies”.

Cautions

• Regular consumption of Saccharomyces cerevisiae may lead to an imbalance in the B-Vitamin complex.   It contains high levels of B Vitamins except for Vitamin B-12, which lack can lead to anemia.
•  Saccharomyces cerevisiae lowers blood sugar, which should be monitored carefully when used by those with diabetes.  Consult a health care professional for use by diabetics.  It is unknown how many of these issues remain with use of Cognac essential oil.  People with diabetes or a tendency toward anemia should avoid use or use it under guidance of a health care professional until the results are clear.
• Cognac should not be used with MAOI therapy.
• People who are allergic to wine, grapes, or cognac, could have an allergic reaction to cognac essential oil.
