Yeast are single-celled organisms that can multiply at extremely rapid rates, doubling in number in two hours. Yeast is rich in many basic nutrients, such as the B vitamins (except for vitamin B-12), 16 amino acids, and at least 14 different minerals. The protein content of yeast is responsible for 52 percent of its weight. Yeast is also high in phosphorus.
TYPES OF YEAST
There are various media on which yeast may be grown:
Brewer's Yeast (Saccaromyces Cerevisiae): Also known as a nutritional yeast, is grown on hops, a bitter herb that is also used as an ingredient in beer. For Nutritional purposes, brewers yeast is made from carefully selected fresh ale yeast, which is collected under sanitary conditions, screened and spray dried. Ale yeast has naturally low levels of bitter and hop flavor notes, therefore no processing chemicals are used in debittering. This preserves the wholesome nutritional nature of the Brewer's yeast, which is an excellent source of the vitamin B complex. Brewer's Yeast is rich in amino acids, minerals, and all the B vitamins except B-12, but also has a high level of phosphorus. Brewer's yeast is used as a dietary supplement in powder, capsule and tablet forms and soup mixes. Yeast helps to regulate sugar levels and is good for treating eczema, heart disorders, gout, nervousness, and fatigue. It also boosts the immune system, and increases mental and physical efficiency.
It is important to use nutritional Yeast instead of live baker's yeast because it destroys live cells so you get the most benefit from the nutrients it has to offer. Read and follow product label directions. Anyone taking Yeast supplementation should take extra calcium as well. Live Baker's yeast should be avoided because the live cells deplete the body of B vitamins and other nutrients. Yeast has a substantial amount phosphorus, so those with osteoporosis should not take a Yeast supplement. Avoid taking a Yeast supplement if you suspect you have candidiasis.

Nutritional Yeast vs Brewer's Yeast

Since the yeast is enzmatically digested, the nutrients are more readily available to the body than nutrients from other yeasts. Due to yeast's naturally high phosphorus content, crude mineral rich blackstrap molasses is added to enhance the naturally occurring calcium and magnesium, as well as the minerals potassium and iron. Best if used by date shown on bottle.

YEAST USES & BENEFITS
Yeast may be consumed in juice or water, and is a good energy booster between meals. Yeast may also be added to the diet to aid in treating certain disorders. It helps in sugar metabolism and is good for eczema, heart disorders, gout, nervousness, and fatigue. By enhancing the immune system, yeast is useful for people undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy for cancer. Yeast also seems to increase mental and physical efficiency. Dr. William Cook, author of The Yeast Connection (Vintage Books, 1986), states that if a person with candida-related health problems is not specifically allergic to yeast, it is all right for him or her to take a food supplement containing yeast. However, it is usually suggested that you should avoid yeast products if candidiasis is suspected. Because yeast contains significant amounts of phosphorus, people suffering from osteoporosis should avoid yeast products. Those who do take yeast should be sure to take extra calcium as well.
