Abstract
The invention relates to low-molecular, metabolism-activating mixtures of active ingredients from yeast fungi of the order Saccharomycetes and is characterized in that they are obtained from yeasts of the said order of Saccharomycetes, which are cultivated for some hours at temperatures starting at 37.degree. C., are heated to a maximum of 45.degree. C. and, following cooling, are subsequently processed in a manner known per se.
Claims7
An extract from live Saccharomycetes yeast which contains a mixture of low molecular weight active ingredients comprising heat shock proteins of one or both of the families hsp 60 and 70, wherein the active ingredients are metabolically active, said extract being obtained by cultivating Saccharomycetes yeast at a temperature between 37-38.degree. C., subsequently heating the yeast up to 45.degree. C., cooling the yeast to 25.degree. C., and comminuting and enzymatically solubilizing the yeast to obtain the extract.
