Re: OT Supplement Question

[Guest guest]

Hey Debbie, Sometimes people supplement b-12 from yeast (fortified yeast). Vegans do this - they eat yeast flakes. it think that's what you've bought. [not really a sufficient, reliable source though]

it's interesting - many times b vitamins can be made from microorganisms. That's actually how vegemite started. Actually, plants nor animals can manufacture b-12, only microorganisms.There's no b-12 in beets. or any plant. it's in dirt - then animals get it from dirt, and you can get it from animals. Or a supplement generated by bacteria.

I'm not sure about the legality of this yeast, but I doubt it, I haven't heard of it being legal. Dunno.Best

 

This was in parenthesis after b12 and iron.  All natural supplement it said from beetroot.  Tonight I read the label again because it looked legal.  I googled and wiki'd the name in parenthesis.

 

Antibodies against S. cerevisiae are found in 60–70% of patients with Crohn's disease and 10–15% of patients with Ulcerative colitis.

" Saccharomyces " derives from Latinized Greek and means " sugar mold " or " sugar fungus " , saccharo- being the combining form " sugar- " and myces being " fungus " . cerevisiae comes from Latin and means " of beer " . Other names for the organism are:

S. cerevisiae short form of the scientific name Brewer's yeast though other species are also used in brewing Ale yeast Top-fermenting yeast Baker's yeast Budding yeast

This species is also the main source of nutritional yeast and yeast extract.

So this doesn't look like b12 or iron from beetroots to me.  Could this be why I've been so nauseas and sick the last two days or would it have shown up before this?  I've been taking it since April 20-something.

Thanks, and the above is definitely illegal but I just read the label, the 144% iron, beetroot, etc. and never noticed the small italic word after b12 and after iron.

Am I missing something or how can both of those supply the b12 and iron?

Thanks,

It doesn't say b12 is from beetroot.  It says vitamin C, folate, b12 (S. cerevisiae), iron (S. cerevisiae).  Organic beetroot.  It gives the amounts, etc.  144% DV iron, 500 b12.  Plant cellulose as the filler.  It does say vegetarian.  I didn't think that mattered.  You're saying b12 is coming from dirt then?  The point of the post is " Antibodies against S. cerevisiae are found in 60–70% of patients with Crohn's disease and 10–15% of patients with Ulcerative colitis. "

 

I'm feeding the yeast I'm trying to kill?  Or is it a different type of yeast?  I know now it's illegal, I think I posted that.

 

Well, I wish I understood more about it.  I've been kind of 'ick' the last two-three days.  I'm not taking them again.  Probably never look at b00r, br00d or anything like that the same again.

Dunno.

Yeast supplements are not SCD legal.
