brewers yeast as vitamin B source

[jeanjer]

I have Vitamin B deficiency and at the same time I'm on strict diet to lose weight, many people adviced me on brewers yeast as the solution, but I was reading like any other yeast it might make you gain weight, can you give me some input on this? thank you.

Just how much was you thinking you were gonna take?? Marmite and Vegemite are both based on it and you only need 1-2 tea spoons a day

If you are so concerned with brewers yeast interfering with your diet, why not just supplement yourself with vitamin B from some multi-vitamin?

the amount of calories is close to that of psyllium husk. about 40 calories per tablespoon

you won't get fat off an extra 40 calories a day lol.

Just get a B100 complex. It'll contain much more B-vitamins and be way better absorbed then brewers yeast.

B100 vitamins are also dirt cheap. You can buy around 300 tablets for 20 bucks at Costco.

I would just take a supplement. It seems much easier to just get a good B vitamin from the store.
