Health Benefits : Brewer's Yeast

[mysteriouza]

No longer quite the health-food shop star of former days, this is still an unrivaled source of B-complex vitamins, together with valuable minerals.

With particularly high levels from iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium and potassium, Brewer's Yeast also supplies protein.

It is rich in the nucleic acid RNA which is vital to the immune system.

On its own, Brewer's yeast is not particularly agreeable to taste, but blended with milk, yoghurt, fruit juices, with a little honey added, it registers as a pleasant nutty flavor.


Since it is high in purines, however, it should be avoided by those with gout.
