Brewer's yeast is a common ingredient in beer and some types of bread. However, consuming too much of it can be dangerous. Brewer's yeast contains a large amount of tyramine, which can interact with MAOIs and cause a hypertensive crisis, a fast and dangerous rise in blood pressure that can cause a heart attack or stroke. It may also lower blood sugar levels, which can be dangerous when combined with diabetes medications.
| Characteristics | Values |
|---|---|
| Tyramine | Can cause a hypertensive crisis |
| MAOI | Can cause a hypertensive crisis |
| Blood pressure | Can cause a heart attack or stroke |
| Blood sugar | Can cause hypoglycemia |
| Alcohol | Can cause an overly alcoholic beer |
| Carbonation | Can cause an overly carbonated beer |
| Taste | Can cause a beer to taste "yeasty" or "bready" |
High blood pressure
Brewer's yeast contains a large amount of tyramine, a substance that can interact with MAOIs and cause a hypertensive crisis. A hypertensive crisis is a very fast and dangerous rise in blood pressure that can cause heart attack or stroke. MAOIs are used to treat depression and include:
- Parnate
- Nardil
- Neurontin
- Eldepryl
- Paroxetine
- Pexeva
- Linezolid
- Moclobemide
- Isocarboxazid
- Phenelzine
- Tranylcypromine
As with MAOI antidepressants, brewer's yeast may also lead to a high blood pressure crisis if it is taken with Demerol, a narcotic medication used to relieve pain. Brewer's yeast may lower blood sugar levels. When combined with diabetes medications, taking brewer's yeast could raise the risk of having low blood sugar.

Low blood sugar
Brewer's yeast contains a large amount of tyramine, a substance that can interact with MAOIs and cause a hypertensive crisis. A hypertensive crisis is a very fast and dangerous rise in blood pressure that can cause heart attack or stroke. MAOIs are used to treat depression and include: moclobemide, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, isocarboxazid, selegiline, and moclobemide. As with MAOI antidepressants, brewer's yeast may also lead to a high blood pressure crisis if it is taken with Demerol, a narcotic medication used to relieve pain. Brewer's yeast may lower blood sugar levels. When combined with diabetes medications, taking brewer's yeast could raise the risk of having low blood sugar.
Brewer's yeast is available as a powder, flakes, liquid, or tablets. The average adult dosage is one to two tablespoons daily. It can be added to food or mixed with water, juice, or shakes. Consult with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements such as brewer's yeast. No specific preparation is necessary to take brewer's yeast. The powdered form can be taken alone or added to food or beverages. Your doctor may recommend that you initially take smaller doses of brewer's yeast in order to check for possible side effects.
Brewer's yeast may also cause digestive issues, such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if you experience severe or persistent digestive issues, you should stop taking brewer's yeast and consult your healthcare provider.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is important to consult your healthcare provider before taking brewer's yeast. Use caution if you have a central venous catheter or any of the following conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or a weakened immune system.
In conclusion, while brewer's yeast has some potential benefits, it is important to be aware of the potential risks, especially for those with certain medical conditions. Always consult with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements, and be sure to follow their recommendations for dosage and usage.

Overly alcoholic beer
Brewing beer can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it’s important to ensure you add the right amount of yeast to the mix. Adding too much yeast can cause your brew to spoil, resulting in a nasty-tasting drink that no one will want to drink. So if you’re new to brewing your beer, heed this warning and avoid making the same mistake!
When too much yeast is added to the mix, the fermentation process will be robust and energetic, and this may result in an excessively active fermentation. It is possible for this to result in blocked airlocks, blow-offs, bursting bottles, or a fermenter that has ruptured.
When this happens, the yeast consumes sugars and produces carbon dioxide gas. The gas builds up in the beer, causing it to become excessively foamy and carbonated. In some cases, the excess pressure from the carbon dioxide can cause bottles or kegs to explode. Additionally, too much yeast can cause a beer to become overly alcoholic and make it taste “yeasty" or “bready”.
While a beer with a high alcohol content may be desired in some cases, it is generally not considered ideal.
Brewer's yeast contains a large amount of tyramine, a substance that can interact with MAOIs and cause a hypertensive crisis.

Frequently asked questions
Beer yeast, specifically brewer's yeast, can be dangerous to consume in large amounts. It contains a chemical called tyramine, which can cause a hypertensive crisis when mixed with MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors). This reaction is an immediate and dangerous increase in blood pressure, which can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Brewer's yeast can also cause an increase in gas production and may trigger migraines, especially in those who are already prone to getting them. If you have gout or Crohn's disease, you shouldn't take brewer's yeast. Even if you don't have an existing health condition and aren't taking medications, you should talk to your doctor before taking it.
If you're taking MAOIs, you should not consume large amounts of tyramine, which is found in brewer's yeast. This can cause a spike in your blood pressure that may require emergency treatment. Brewer's yeast can also cause a hypertensive crisis when mixed with narcotic pain medications like meperidine.
Brewer's yeast may lower blood sugar levels, which can place you at a higher risk for lower than optimum blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It can also cause an increase in gas production and may trigger migraines, especially in those who are already prone to getting them. If you have diabetes, you should consult your healthcare provider before taking brewer's yeast.
