What’s the difference between brewer’s yeast and nutritional yeast? That’s what we’re going to cover today.

Yeast isn’t a bad thing—it’s a crucial part of your microbiome. But, if you kill off your friendly bacteria, you can get an overgrowth of yeast, which can be harmful.

The benefits of friendly yeast in the gut:
• It helps defend against pathogens
• It helps make glutathione (a powerful antioxidant)
• It helps regulate cholesterol
• It helps build immunity against certain pathogens
• It may help increase breast milk production
• It supports healthy blood sugar levels

Both brewer’s yeast and nutritional yeast are inactive, so you won’t develop a yeast infection from consuming either one.

Let’s look at nutritional yeast vs. brewer’s yeast. First off, brewer’s yeast or baker’s yeast is typically grown on beet sugar, which is GMO.

Nutritional yeast is typically grown on molasses, which has a lot of nutrition. Nutritional yeast is a product people take to enhance their nutrients.

Brewer’s yeast or baker’s yeast may have more protein, but nutritional yeast has more B vitamins. There are a lot of amazing health benefits of nutritional yeast, and the fact that it's rich in natural B vitamins is the main reason many people choose it.

Be sure to avoid nutritional yeast that is fortified with synthetic B vitamins. This can lead to negative reactions in some people. Always get unfortified nutritional yeast.

I started keto and I still was so exhausted. Exhaustion has been the throne in my side. I finally got some nutritional yeast and sprinkle on my eggs. My exhaustion is nearly gone. I was so tired like down to my cells. I am saying if you suffer from tiredness and still after keto and IF, get this now.

I used fortified nutritional yeast for a short while (without knowing it) and I felt really bad. When I finally found an unfortified version here in Sweden it was such a big difference. I’ve always gotten ill from synthetic vitamins (and I think alot of others get ill too, but not realizing it) so I prefer to use the “all natural” when it comes to vitamins. Because today it’s really difficult to get proper nutrition from food with all additives and preservatives and what not. So I’m glad that I stumbled upon your videos about NY a while ago and decided to try it. B1 is tough to get in such large amounts from regular food.

I feel calmer, relaxed, and a subtle feeling of contentment from nutritional yeast

I was using nutritional yeast regularly before and during my first pregnancy and never had morning sickness. By my next two pregnancies, I had fallen out of the habit of taking nutritional yeast, and I suffered progressively worse morning sickness. I've always assumed it was the great nutritional benefits of nutri yeast that prevented or ameliorated the morning sickness.

I think I am addicted to Nutritional Yeast...I love it, I add non-fortified organic non-gmo nutritional yeast to just about everything, hope I'm not overdoing it.

Thank you Dr Berg for your research and caring heart to help resolve lifelong issues. Much appreciated.

About ten years ago I switched from using granulated sugar crystals in my coffee and switched to half molasses, half raw, unfiltered honey. I used to add about two teaspoons of sugar to each 8 ounce cup and I typically have three cups every day. I forget the exact numbers, but honey is about 45% sugar and molasses is about 55%. So basically when I add a teaspoon of each I'm getting roughly half the sugar compared to plain sugar crystals. Plus I get all the extra benefit of iron, potassium, calcium, all kinds of bioactive stuff in the honey and my coffee tastes so much better now. Plus, I switched from whole milk to heavy whipping cream. I don't need as much and it lasts twice as long.

I bought some Dr. Berg’s adrenal support formula which contains nutritional yeast, and although I haven’t seen a lot of improvement in my stress levels yet (admittedly, I am going through a very stressful time in my life) I have noticed that my digestion seems MUCH more smooth - I’ve been battling severe constipation ever since I’ve tried cutting carbs, experiencing all this stress with my job, etc. to the point that I had to get a water irrigation just to get one particularly bad buildup of stool out. Since introducing nutritional yeast, it’s never been a problem.

[jujubees]

I love Dr. Berg. He has done so much to help lower my cholesterol and get back great blood test results.
However, I wish his videos on Nutritional Yeast came with a warning not to take it if you have colitis or IBS.
I am having really bad digestive issues after taking nutritional yeast. I went to the GI doc yesterday and he said
I was having an IBS flare. It may be good for some, but not for everyone.

I used to give my two German Shepherd dogs brewers yeast mixed in with their food. They NEVER had a problem with fleas!

[friebertbalazs]

For those who workout: This is the best preworkout you can take (if you eat carbs) even a pinch dissolved in a little water gives you a noticable boost (if you don't have enough B vitamins)

[ryanwest]

I put 20-35 grams of nutritional yeast in some almond milk and water and I love love love it. The flushing, the wave of calmness, look forward to do it everyday. Thanks to Dr Berg

[nunoshkazolansky]

Dr Berg is the knowledge doctor for real 🥰

[Crystal-gegh]
