Why is brewers yeast used as an ingredient in Natures Logic?
The simple answer is that Brewers Yeast is one of the best sources of several B Vitamins. It also contains Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Choline Chloride and Folic Acid needed in the diet. It is also a great natural source of minerals such as Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium and Zinc. The alternative is to use inferior food ingredients and then fortify the diet with chemically synthesized forms of vitamins and minerals. Some of the potential hypervitaminosis effects from over exposure to these synthetic supplements are ataxia, nervous system dysfunction, vomiting, increased PN concentration in blood and organs, anorexia and death. The inactive spray dried Brewers Yeast (Nutritional Yeast) Natures Logic uses is Certified Kosher and Pareve and Chametz Free by Orthodox Union.
