How do i use brewers yeast as a vitamin b supplement?

Question

i have never even seen brewers yeast, but i read that it can be used as a supplement for vitamin b. can you add it to say a health shake? where can i buy it? and is it safe to use if i'm breast feeding? thanks!!!

Answer 1

Brewers yeast is a -source- of b vitamins.....

like oranges are a source of vitamin c.. (about 53 mg)

Its not particually high in b vitamins(potency varies and can cause stomach aches)...

so a regular B-complex may be more successful

but considering your breast feeding... try to stick with a gentle

low dose complex... high in folic acid(b6)

(check with your DR)

Folic acid helps in the proper formation of cells... great for the kid!

and while Im at It ..you should look into supplementing with a fish oil VERY high in DHA..... the fatty acid combined with the

colostrum in your milk has shown to increase brain capability

as well making calmer, happier, smarter kids!

do some research!!!

I love brewers yeast... just for the taste (acquired taste..ha ha)

and the OVER ALL health benefits...

but to take it just for the B vitamins...

just not a great source

hope this helps!...

of course I'd check with your Doctor/Professional first...

but definately look into the stuff I mentioned....

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY!!!...

Answer 2

It is absolutely safe to use when you are breast feeding. Very positive!

You can mix one tablespoonful in a health shake.

If you like the taste (not everyone does, but I love it), you can sprinkle one tbsp on your salad as well. That's what I do. Taste it before you ruin your salad, though!

It is wonderful for thick and glossy hair, for the skin, the nails etc. Super supplement. Must better than B-complex tablets.

You can buy it in a foodstore - on the shelf with other supplements, or in a health store. Ask around. It is a wellknown supplement which lots of people use and they'll be able to tell you.

All the best and I wish you a healthy life and to the baby too!
