In reply to IsoM - a question for you, posted by BekkaH on November 27, 2002, at 0:19:24
Not brewer's yeast, Bekka, as it's bitter & there are other nutritional yeasts higher in nutrients, but I do use one of the others.
I really don't think it's that important which brand is used - all are high in B vitamins, minerals, & protein. You wouldn't notice significantly better results with one brand over another. Just make sure you buy an all-round good kind. Just buy the smallest amount first to make sure you'd use it.
It has a strong flavour so I don't like to add it to foods as it distracts from their taste. B vitamins are water soluble but I make up a batch in orange juice every day & sip the juice off & on through the day. Some days, I drink the whole thing; other days, there's some left at the end but it's not important to take an exact amount. Because it's a very concentrated food product, too much can cause gas initially in some people but 'cause I sip it through the day, my digestion can probably handle it better.
By taking smaller amounts through the day too, I don't pee most of the B vitamins out. If your urine gets bright yellow, you're losing B vitamins in your urine. It's better to have small amounts of B vitamins through the day rather than in one or two big doses at a time anyway.
I mix up a litre or so of orange juice & add to it roughly 2 heaping tablespoons. But I have a high requirement for B vitamins (I found out through trial & error over years) & you might not need so much.

Hope this isn't more info than you wanted. If I didn't answer anything, ask again.
