Re: Nutritional yeast vs. brewers yeast

Types of Yeast

Nutritional yeast Vegetarian Support Formula™ by Red Star®

(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a primary grown nutritional yeast

grown specifically for nutritional benefits.

Active dry yeast is made from cream yeast. It is a raising agent

used in baked goods.

Brewers yeast, is a bitter by-product of the brewing industry that

has a high nutritional profile, but typically not as high as Red

Star® Nutritional Yeast which is grown for maximized nutritional

benefits.

Torula yeast (Pichia jadinii), is a by-product of the paper mill

waste streams obtained by growing Pichia jadinii on wood sugars.

Dairy yeast, or whey yeast (Kluyveromyce marxianus), is obtained by

growing Kluyveromyce marxianus using cheese whey or whey permeate.

Candida yeast infection (Candida Albicans) is a body yeast

infection. Red Star®'s nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

is not found to be a cause of yeast or candida infections.

Wine Yeast (Saccharomyces fermentati) is used in fermenting grapes

into wine.
