Uses

Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) tablets are used as a nutritional supplement rich in B vitamins, proteins, and minerals. The provided grounding references vaginal yeast infection products, but oral yeast tablets serve a distinct supplemental/nutritional role.

Do not use if

Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to yeast or yeast-derived products. Caution in immunocompromised patients.

Side effects

Oral yeast supplements are generally well tolerated. Mild gastrointestinal effects such as bloating and flatulence may occur. Allergic reactions are rare.

Warnings

Intended as a nutritional supplement only; not a substitute for prescribed medications. Patients with gout should use with caution as yeast contains purines.

How it works

Brewer's or nutritional yeast is a natural source of B-complex vitamins (especially B1, B2, B3, B6, folate), complete proteins, chromium, and selenium, supporting energy metabolism and general nutritional status.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep tightly sealed.
