someone had a question about nutritional

yeast on how you use it in your diet in

your food so I wanted to create a short

video on this topic first of all what is

nutritional yeast it’s a type of yeast

which is a microbe which is inactive

it’s different than baker’s yeast which

is an active yeast so you don’t have to

worry about the micro being alive when

you consume it but nutritional yeast has

a lot of nutrition

we’ve been consuming this for a very

long time it has a complete amino acid

profile it has tons of minerals trace

minerals it has antioxidants like

glutathione which is one of the most

powerful liver antioxidant and also

another powerful antioxidant Celino

methionine this is a selenium which is a

trace mineral enzyme which actually

really helps your immune system but

let’s not forget the B vitamins and this

is one of the biggest reasons why I

recommend taking a nutritional yeast but

one of the problems consuming B vitamins

is that the grains are a really good

source of B vitamins okay

but we don’t want to consume grains if

you’re on the ketogenic plant so what do

we consume nutritional yeast it has

almost all the B vitamins naturally so

it doesn’t have b12 because b12 is made

by a bacteria but yeast actually can

make B vitamins and also realized that a

lot of the nutritional yeast products

out there are enriched with synthetic B

vitamins and I don’t recommend taking

them it’s also they enriched it with a

type of iron that you don’t want to

consume you want to get unfortified

nutritional yeast now the product that I

have is non fortified it doesn’t have

any synthetic vitamins and this is one

of the reasons why I put a label that

you need a higher dosage because I don’t

have the synthetic version which would

give you a lot more B vitamins but those

extra B vitamins are synthetic we want

the natural vitamins that are made from

nutritional yeast now the taste of

nutrition we used is kind of a slightly

cheesy like flavor it’s kind of nutty so

some people like it and some people

don’t like it but I always just tell

them it’s an acquired

tastehh you just have to get used to it

now the nutritional yeast is different

than the yeast extract that you see in

the back of a label and I put a link

down below of a video that I did on MSG

and glutamate so you can kind of learn

more about that because they use yeast

extracts and a lot of food products it’s

used as a food additive and also food

flavoring and it has glutamate which is

amino acid but I don’t want to get into

that because I have a whole video on

that topic what I do want to show you is

this there are types of yeast extracts

have been around for over a hundred

years as different products and this is

just a few of them they have a lot more

around use around the world

Vegemite ok Australian food spread and

it was created from leftovers from

brewers yeast extract from making beer

and they put it in a spread and it does

have quite a few B vitamins I think now

they do add synthetic B vitamins I’m not

sure if they used them in the past or

not and then you have Marmite which is a

very popular food spread either you love

it or you hate it but it was given to

the British troops in World War 1

because they did have a problem with

berry berry which is a vitamin b1

deficiency and of course this was also

created from the leftover Brewers used

for making beer and so they found they

it works out great to give you B

vitamins and then they had another

product in the 30s called tasty yeast

which is yeast in chocolate of course it

had sugar in there but a lot of people

were taking this back in the thirties

anyway I wanted just to give you the

difference between the different types

of yeast the one that you want to

consume would be nutritional yeast now

you could also use brewers yeast itself

it has a similar profile of B vitamins

the problem is it doesn’t taste the same

nutritional yeast is a much better taste
