Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Can someone please educate me about this product. I thought I was supposed to avoid yeast, but someone recommended that I take Nutritional Yeast Flakes. Thank you in advance for any help.

What makes nutritional yeast different is that the fungus, usually saccharomyces cerevisiae, is deactivated very early in the production process. Thus, it does not feed Candida. A basic description of this process is as follows: 1 - A producer grows the yeast, letting it feed on beet molasses, sometimes mixed with sugar cane. 2 - The yeast is pasteurized, or heated at very high temperatures, to kill the active cultures. 3 - Once inactive, it is dried and becomes small irregularly shaped flakes. 4 - Finally it is packaged and sold. Nutritional Yeast Flakes is fortified with additional vitamins and minerals during step three of the production process. The Nutritional Yeast Flakes brands recommended are : Red Star, Frontier or NOW brands. Take two (2) tablespoons per day mixed into water or other liquids, or into foods. If you take Nutritional Yeast Flakes you do not require B Vitamin or Niacin supplements. Your Welcome, Ed group moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
