Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 A treatment I found online, from a reputable source, is 4-6 brewers yeast tablets daily, plus biotin (we take 800 mcg). The biotin also helps with fat breakdown. Susie, Just curious... what does the brewers' yeast do for the liver? Did your source say? It's full of vitamin B, isn't it? Sandy H.

Somehow, that in combo with the Biotin is supposed to pamper the liver - but that's all I know. I found the info on some reputable site, like the web site for U.S. pharmacists?

I know that I read things, and it sticks in my mind that it's a good thing to take, but I don't always remember why :-) Brewers >>yeast is full >>of B1, B2, Niacin, and other B vitamins. Somehow, that in combo with the >>Biotin is supposed to pamper the liver - but that's all I know. Ah... a good thing to know. Thanks! I know that milk thistle also supports the liver, but I have no idea why -- only that it's non toxic. I'm taking the sub-lingual Vitamin B12 now. It's only every 2 or 3 days, so I'm taking it Monday, Wednesday, and Friday... as someone mentioned, tastes like a sweet-tart :-) I figure that since I don't eat bread or rice, it would be good to make sure I get my B vitamins. Maybe I'll add the Brewer's yeast, but is it in tablet form? I don't think I'd use it if I had to put it on my food... not regularly anyway. Sandy H.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 I believe milk thistle contains many phytochemicals which are useful to the liver and aid in its health and detoxification. I believe it works differently from yeast. So I would (and do) go for both. Thanks, :-) I didn't know how it worked, but only that it was supposed to support the liver and was non-toxic.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Although I don't use brewer's yeast which doesnt taste great to me, I do use nutritional yeast which I believe has much the same, and depending on the make, often better nutritional value , I've never heard about nutritional yeast... that's a new one. Thanks! Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're brown tablets, and they're very inexpensive. The Biotin is also part of the liver tonic, and, as I mentioned, is supposed to aid in fat breakdown.

I didn't want to sound picky, but the thought of Brewer's Yeast on food has never much appealed to me :-) The >>Biotin is also >>part of the liver tonic, and, as I mentioned, is supposed to aid in fat >>breakdown. Right... I need to write all this down :-) I might have missed one of the posts on this... are you saying that you get a liver tonic pill that's a combination of brewer's yeast and biotin? Or, are you saying that brewer's yeast and biotin *would be* part of a good liver tonic if one were to put a liver tonic together? Did that make sense?

Thanks, Susie :-) You must have a couple of pill keepers to organize everything... I know I have one now, but I think I need to get another one. I take pills morning and night too. Sandy H.
