I have recently discovered Large Flake Nutritional Yeast. This food is rich in B vitamins — so much so that I am tempted to drop my B supplementation in pill form.

Question: Is Large Flake Nutritional Yeast truly a good source for Bs, and are the B vitamins in it bio-available?

Thanks.

There will not be a therapeutic amount of B12 in that yeast.

Most Brewer's yeast type things are not that high in B's.

This one is 2 to 3 times the RDA for the listed B's.
None of those amounts are even near the therapeutic values for them.

The product on that link is the one that I am taking. It seemed like 790% of Thiamine might be sufficient. That's why I asked.

Thanks.


P.S. It's not brewer's yeast, by the way. There is no active yeast in the product.

Thiamine is needed by PNers in high doses most of the time.
By the time PNers get to this forum, they are pretty damaged.

My B-Right is a compromise product... less than a B-50 but more than an RDA product. 25mg Thiamine or 1667% RDA.
I still use benfotiamine too.

You do what you think you need. Everyone is different.

Thanks, mrsD.

My ambition is to get off every kind of pill, supplement and medication, and get what I need just from food. However, as you point out, this my not be possible.

I always appreciate your generosity and willingness to share your expertise. I'm sure that we all do.
