What is the difference between the two? Which one is better for our health?
"Nutritional vs. Brewer’s Yeast
Nutritional and brewer’s yeast are close relatives: they both contain S. cerevisiae, but they slightly differ in the production process, nutritional value, and uses.
Brewer’s yeast is a byproduct of the beer brewing industry, usually grown on hops or grains. People use its dried and deactivated form as a nutritional supplement. Depending on the growth medium, brewer’s yeast may contain gluten [4].
The food industry grows nutritional yeast for its dietary uses only. The growth medium is glucose or molasses, which makes the final product gluten-free [2].
Unlike nutritional yeast, brewer’s yeast is naturally rich in chromium, which can help lower blood sugar levels. As such, brewer’s yeast might be a better option for people with diabetes. Nutritional yeast is usually fortified with vitamin B12 and thus more suitable for vegans, who can be at risk of B12 deficiency [3, 5].
Brewer’s yeast has a bitter taste that many find unpleasant; nutritional yeast has a nutty or cheesy flavor and blends well into various dishes."
"There is disagreement on chromium's status as an essential nutrient. Governmental departments from Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, and the United States consider chromium essential[103][104][105][106] while the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of the European Union does not.[107]"
You know what else governmental departments consider essential? Polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Hey! Thanks for sharing this. Based on this do you reckon that getting an unfortified nutritional yeast might be the best option? Assuming that I'm getting ample b-vitamins from liver, oysters, and other animal products?Nutritional yeast certainly tastes better, but most of it’s nutrients comes from adding vitamins. Brewers yeast’s nutrition is far superior and none of it’s nutrition is added.
I have no experience with nutritional yeast. I have this one in the cupboard, but my health is so good I don’t wanna experiment with it.Hey! Thanks for sharing this.
