Yeast-Free Diet - Do B-Vitamins Come From Yeast?

By Matt Bournston

If there's one thing that many health conscious people are interested in, that's supplements. If you've recently started on a yeast-free diet, you may be wondering about B-vitamins. It's well known that brewer's yeast is a rich source of B-vitamins. But does this mean that all B-vitamins come from yeast?

The answer is no, not all B-vitamins come from yeast. While it is indeed true that brewer's yeast is a great source of B-vitamins, it is not the only source. B-vitamins are also found in green leafy vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, eggs, milk, nuts, rice, liver, whole grain cereals, and many other foods. So it's more about where you get your B-vitamins from rather than B-vitamins actually always coming from yeast itself. So stay away from brewer's yeast and you should be fine.

More information about B-vitamins:

There are a total of 8 water soluble vitamins in the Vitamin B Complex category. When they were first discovered, they were originally thought to be just one single vitamin, which they simply called Vitamin B. But later on they realized that they were actually chemically different substances that coexist in the same foods.

The 8 B-Vitamins:

Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin/Nicotinamide (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Pyridoxine/Pyridoxal/Pyridoxamine (B6), Biotin (B7), Folic Acid (B9), Vitamin B12.

B-vitamins have a number of health benefits, including:

* Proper metabolism and energy

* Healthy muscles and skin.

* Healthy nervous system and immune system.

So hopefully I have put your mind at rest that just because you are going to be living a yeast-free lifestyle does not mean you cannot consume B-vitamins. B-vitamins are in many foods that are free from yeast, and you can even get vitamin supplements that are yeast-free too. Living on a restricted diet is easy, once you know how. - 17269
