Nutritional Yeast is a powerhouse of nutrients and I believe is a great addition to a healthy lifestyle, especially for those who are vegan or vegetarian.
It is one of the few non-animal sources of B-12, is rich in folic acid and many other nutrients and amino acids. This is not your typical yeast & is FREE of the Candida Albicans strain, making it SAFE for those concerned with Candida.
Nutritional Yeast is very rich in B vitamins, including B12, which is what gives it that yellow color. One serving of nutritional yeast, about ½-1 Tbsp, provides the full amount of B12 needed for an adult in day, not bad.
It is a great source of 18 amino acids, protein, folic acid, biotin and other vitamins. It is also rich in 15 minerals including iron, magnesium, phorphorus, zinc, and chromium, & selenium. It is grown on beet sugar & molasses, fermented & dried so it is gluten free & non-yeast forming in the body. Most companies dry it at a high heat so it is not a raw food. My understanding is that the yeast needs to be heated so that it is NOT live & active in the body, causing any yeast production in the GI tract.
I highly recommend it for babies & toddlers who are not nursing & using formula. Also, if your baby is using a homemade Baby Formula or any other homemade recipe, the addition of nutritional yeast would be wise and very beneficial for your growing infant & toddler.
Nutritional yeast would be an important addition to dairy and/or non-dairy (almond, rice, hemp, oat, coconut, flax, hazelnut, sunflower, & whole grain) "milk" for your baby, toddlers & kids while the yeast provides good amounts of B12, Folic Acid, & Iron nutrients.
