High B12 Content Nutritional Yeast - (150 g) - El granero

In terms of vitamins, it is rich in group B. It has 34 times more B1 than oats and walnuts . A couple of grams of yeast provide the same amount of B1 as 100 grams of oatmeal, 100 grams of lentils and 100 grams of nuts, combined. It is also rich in B2, B4, B5, B6, B12 (key vitamin for vegetarians), PP, H, inositol, choline, PABA and folic acid .

At the mineral level, yeast contains magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, copper, chromium and selenium . Since it is not a food and is consumed at a level of a few grams per day, yeast is important for its contribution in trace elements or trace minerals, which are lacking in our refined and processed foods. This is the case of chromium, an insulin cofactor whose lack is related to diabetic problems. Or the case of selenium, an antioxidant that protects against cancer, premature aging and free radicals. These micro minerals are essential ingredients of enzymes and participate in their metabolic cascades.

Half of the weight of the yeast is made up of proteins , providing a significant amount of those essential amino acids (that is, they cannot be synthesized by the body and must come from our food). It also provides glutathione , a protein made up of three amino acids, which is key to liver detoxification, neutralization of poisons, and elimination of toxic waste .

Although the use of nutritional yeast to preserve health and long life already appeared in the Egyptian papyri, modern science has discovered new therapeutic applications. It is considered a liver protector , for blood sugar problems, some call it "vegetable insulin" , digestive difficulties, nervous problems, constipation, anemia and as a general tonic . Nutritional yeast improves the skin, the intestinal synthesis of vitamins and the balance of the intestinal flora.

As we said at the beginning, it is important to consume yeasts dried at low temperatures and that do not have debittering treatment. This process is done at an industrial level to remove the characteristic bitter taste of the yeast and consists of washing, which also removes valuable nutrients. The bitter taste of the yeast should not be a problem, since its consumption alone or in large doses is not recommended. A couple of grams a day should go unnoticed in combination with other food supplements.

Nutritional yeast intake is effective in treating diabetes and low blood pressure and is also rich in other minerals such as lithium, manganese, copper, vanadium, molybdenum, zinc and copper.
