Ingredients

Pure strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on mineral-enriched

Scientific trials revealed amazing health benefits

Nutritional yeast was found to be one of the best food-based sources of vitamin B12 for many individuals due to its taste and nutrition properties. Besides B vitamins, it also contains considerable amount of zinc and selenium which are not found in ample amount in fruits and vegetables¹.

Intake of yeast-derived beta-glucan fiber for 8 weeks following a 3 week period of usual diet showed an improvement in total cholesterol level. LDL cholesterol concentration decreased by 8% at week-8 compared to the initial concentration².

Glutathione plays a vital role in cellular functions and metabolisms. It effectively scavenges free radicals and other reactive oxygen species, slowing down aging process, halting health degeneration and onset of diseases such as seizure, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and so on³

How to Take

• For babies (starting from 4 months old), take ¼ teaspoon daily.

• For those who are overweight, take 1 tablespoon 15 minutes before each meal

• For those who are underweight, take 1 tablespoon after each meal

Recommendations

• Use in dips, sauces and gravies. The proportion is ½ teaspoon of nutritional yeast to 1 cup liquid.

• Use 1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast with each cup of flour or meal in baked goods.

• Use it as a condiment sprinkled on the evening meal of rice and vegetables, or on popcorn for snack time.

• Make a yeast “cheese” to adorn a vegan pizza or lasagne.

The 21^st Century Challenge

The nutritional needs of a growing child are of considerable importance. Essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants play crucial roles in growth and development of the young body, and contribute to increased vitality and improved overall health.

Unfortunately, kids can be extremely fussy when it comes to eating. As a result, the basic nutritional needs may be overlooked especially when dealing with children who are picky eaters and have poor appetite.

On the other hand, whether for health or religious reasons, we have an increasing number of vegetarians in our society.  Those who are vegetarian may be concerned whether they are getting enough vitamins and minerals from their daily diet to maintain a healthy body.

Vegetarian who eats healthy with all the vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains, may need to be mindful of the lack of certain vitamins, and nutrients. For instance, vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a vitamin that is necessary for body functions. However, this vitamin is found abundantly in meats, eggs, milk and cheeses, but does not occur naturally in plant-based foods. Therefore, strict vegetarians who do not consume vitamin B12 fortified foods or take B12 supplements may be at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.
