+++Hi Dottie,

Here's the article on how to make your own B vitamins from brewer's yeast:

Thank you. But this article references making B-vitamins from baker's yeast, not

brewer's yeast. I tried it, but it requires a lot more water than 1 cup water

for 1 lb. of the compressed yeast. I like the taste okay, especially for putting

in beverages, because it doesn't have the " cheesy " flavor of nutritional yeast

flakes. (I like the flakes for putting on top of scrambled eggs, etc.)

But nowhere on the internet can I find how much B-vitamins are contained in a

portion (how much?) of this preparation. Any ideas?

+++Hi Dottie,

It says to buy a block of baker's yeast which is brewer's yeast.

I don't know how much B vitamins are in brewer's yeast, but the article says 1

person would take use up 1 pound in 3-4 weeks by taking a few spoonfuls per day,

however that's not very specific.

References for people who are okay taking brewer's yeast without inactivating

the yeast, say to take 1-2 tablespoons per day either added to foods or

dissolved in liquid. So after inactivating the yeast I think you'd take the

same amount, which is 2 tablespoons per day.
