GREAT Quality Brewer's Yeast with Added Minerals and Enzymes
Brewer's yeast is a SUPERB natural source of B Vitamins (which are good for your skin, hair, mood, and energy).  I take it because brewer's yeast is an excellent source of PANGAMIC ACID, a supplement you can't actually buy in the US.  I find it helps enhance my mental sharpness.<br /><br />TwinLab is one of my favorite supplement brands; they're renowned for their high quality & purity.  This Super Rich Yeast has some added ingredients to make it more easily digestible (digestive enzymes papain and bromelain) and added minerals like selenium, chromium, calcium, zinc, and potassium.  I MUCH prefer this to standard/typical Brewer's Yeast.  I take mine "straight" (just dissolved in about 2 ounces of water).  I drink it quickly and then follow with at least 6 ounces of water.  I cannot say I like the taste of any Brewer's Yeast, but I can tolerate this one & the payoff in energy and mental focus is well worth the 10 seconds of "ick" I usually experience when I take it.  This might taste just fine disguised as an addition to a morning smoothie.<br /><br />This does contain added whey, but no added preservatives, fructose, or honey.  Serving size is 2 tablespoons (50 calories).  It does contain iron (I do believe all Brewer's Yeast does). 1 serving provides 10 mg (55% RDA) of iron.<br /><br />FYI, here's the ingredient list:  Nutritional yeast, calcium carbonate, whey, magnesium carbonate, potassium phosphate monobasic, choline bitartrate, niacinamide, potassium chloride, d-calcium pantothenate, para aminobenzoic acid, bromelain, gtf chromium yeast, inositol, cyanocobalamin, ferrous sulfate, selenium yeast, papain, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, sodium chloride, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, biotin, folic acid, and potassium iodide.<br /><br />Great quality, worth its premium price, in my book.  Highly recommended!<br /><br />Have a question about this Brewer's Yeast?  Leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you, if I can.<br /><br />====<br />UPDATE 7/13/14:  Just a note of caution: consuming large amounts of Brewers Yeast has the potential to raise Uric Acid levels in the blood, which MIGHT cause gout to flare or joint pain.  Just an issue worthy of note for those who need it; this is easily diagnosed with a simple blood test and will not usually be a problem for most healthy people.  The added minerals in TwinLab's formulation, I believe, helps minimize this risk substantially AND makes this a good source of trace nutrients.
