 What is Nutritional Yeast ?

Nutritional Yeast is a beneficial yeast like brewers yeast which is a natural source of Vitamin B1 besides other Vitamins, Trace Minerals and Amino Acids. Just make sure it is unfortified.

Supplements which provide synthetic form of B1 are not so beneficial if not sometimes damaging the health. Nutritional Yeast therefore is a good source of B1 (thiamine) which is a water soluble vitamin and besides this  it also provides Amino Acids and Minerals like Selenium, Chromium, Copper and Zinc. It serves to support Blood Sugars, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Fear and Nightmares and since it serves to calm down the body, its best to take it just before bedtime. 

Vitamin B1 is also involved in regulating the pulse rate of the heart and its deficiency can be the cause of palpitations, an increase in pulse rate and irregular or fast breathing. A small deficiency of this all important vitamin can cause you to eat excessively and not get satisfied and a severe deficiency can cause a loss of appetite. 

A deficiency of Vitamin B1 will affect the energy production in your body and as a result, it can cause a condition known as Chronic Fatigue where one feels tired all the time. 

Since Vitamin B1 is involved in controlling the Autonomic Nervous System, its importance is clearly very crucial.

I urge you to do away with the synthetic versions of vitamins which are much cheaper to produce but do not serve the purpose. The natural versions may be a little expensive because they are obtained in small quantities involving more processes. 

I hope you understand the importance of Vitamin B1 and make sure you have the required quantity of this vitamin and for this nutritional yeast is a very good and natural source. As a side note, Nutritional will supply other B vitamins too like Vitamin B6 but its unfortified version will not give you Vitamin B12.
