BREWERS YEAST
Brewers Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is known as nature’s wonder food, a name which it certainly deserves. It is an excellent source of all the major B vitamins (except B12). It also contains other vitamins, sixteen amino acids and fourteen or more minerals.
The Benefits of Brewers Yeast
Sleep—has been shown to help people having difficulty sleeping. This is due to the Niacin and Vitamin B6 present in the yeast which work together to produce the brain chemical serotonin which is essential for restful sleep.
Fatigue—has been shown to help people who feel fatigued since many of the B group vitamins present are essential in the release of energy from the carbohydrates in the food we consume.
Diarrhoea—has been used to treat diarrhoea caused by Clostridium dificile.
Properties
Brewers yeast contains many different vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The major vitamins are:
Vitamin B1 (thiamin) - releases energy from carbohydrate in the diet and is important for the heart and nervous system.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) - releases energy from carbohydrate in the diet and maintains healthy skin, eyes and digestive tract.
Niacin (Vitamin B3) - releases energy from carbohydrate and helps to maintain healthy skin, digestive tract and nervous system.
