Is it safe to use a nutritional supplement that contains yeast?
Yes. “The yeast in nutraceuticals is dead, since the yeast manufacturing process involves a high-temperature, sterilization of the cream yeast immediately prior to spray drying . . . . By definition, an inactive yeast is dead and has lost its ability to reproduce in or out of the human body.” Dr. Seymour Pomper a leading researcher working with the industrial food applications of yeast for over 40 years explains the differences between Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is used in nutritional supplements and Candida.
