B Complex Powder

WHY CHOOSE BREWER’S YEAST AS A B-COMPLEX?

The B- Complex of vitamins consists of eight essential vitamins that are crucial for a wide range of functions, such as the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, nutrient transport throughout the body, cell formation, and energy production. Of the eight essential water-soluble B’s, seven cannot be stored inside the body in any appreciable amount, so must be replenished daily, while one, vitamin B12, can be stored in the liver and fatty tissues to be used at a later time.

The individual B vitamins are naturally present in a wide variety of foods ranging from dairy products to organ meats, beef, chicken, fatty fish, shellfish, eggs, dark green vegetables, as well as brewer’s yeast, which as the name implies, is a staple ingredient used in beer brewing.

Brewer’s yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a tiny, single-celled fungus that is indeed used in beer brewing, as well as in bread making, and just so happens to offer an exceptionally dense nutritional profile, supplying 52% protein by weight, including all nine essential amino acids, the full B-complex of vitamins, as well as a variety of trace minerals. Brewer’s yeast is also a rich source of powerful antioxidants like glutathione and selenomethionine so naturally supports the body’s detoxification processes, as well as offers robust antioxidant protection.
