Brewer's yeast is a nutrient-rich powder or flake derived from the fermentation of beer, primarily using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Originating from traditional brewing processes, this dietary supplement is celebrated for its remarkable nutritional profile. Packed with B-complex vitamins, including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and biotin, brewer's yeast supports energy metabolism and healthy nerve function. It’s also a source of protein, selenium, potassium, iron, and chromium, which aids in regulating blood sugar levels. Brewer's yeast is naturally low in fat and cholesterol but contains purines, which may be unsuitable for individuals with gout or kidney conditions. Common in vegan and vegetarian diets, it’s used in smoothies, soups, and baked goods to boost nutritional content. Its nutty, earthy flavor makes it a versatile health supplement, though it’s different from nutritional yeast, often utilized for its cheesy taste.
