Brewer’s Yeast powder

• As hinted in the name, brewer’s yeast powder is a by-product of the beer-brewing process that is produced through the cultivation of a particular species of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on malted barley. Once the fermentation process is complete the yeast is separated from the beer, dried via rollers, and then debittered for human consumption. Brewer yeast powder is a naturally occurring source of protein, as well as several vitamins and minerals. We offer brewer’s yeast in both powder (Brewer’s Yeast Debittered) and tablet (Brewer’s Yeast 650 mg) forms.

Benefits of brewer’s yeast?

The probiotic characteristics of brewer’s yeast powder may make it an effective way to prevent diarrhea. It has been used to treat other disorders of the digestive tract, including:

• diarrhea caused by antibiotics
• traveler’s diarrhea
• irritable bowel syndrome
• clostridium difficile colitis
• lactose intolerance

• NOW Yeast Products

• Not all yeasts are created equal. NOWFOODS  yeast products are carefully screened for identity and purity. We test for the presence of unwanted microorganisms to ensure that all of our premium quality yeast products are safe for their intended use.

  It’s worth noting that NOW yeast products do not contain live yeast organisms. Our yeast products are manufactured with heat-inactivated yeasts, so there’s no chance of them causing yeast overgrowth in the body. NOW yeast supplements are simply natural sources of nutrients.

  As one of the few manufacturers in the natural products industry with an in-house microbiology laboratory we’re well-equipped to guarantee the quality and safety of our products.

• Nutritional Yeast

• What is nutritional yeast, you ask? Like brewer’s yeast, nutritional yeast is produced via the fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but instead of malted barley the yeast is grown on enriched, purified cane and beet molasses under carefully controlled conditions. Unlike brewer’s yeast, which is a by-product of the brewing industry, nutritional yeast is classified as a primary-grown yeast and may be more suitable for certain individuals. NOW Nutritional Yeast is available in both powder (Nutritional Yeast Powder) and nutritional yeast flakes (Nutritional Yeast Flakes).

• Yeast Likely to Succeed

  There are well more than a thousand species of yeast, and not all of them are good for us, so a lot of historical trial and error was endured to identify the ones that are most beneficial for our needs. These efforts have yielded
