Natures Aid Brewers Yeast (500tabs)










Out of stock!
A Natural B-vitamin rich tablet for skin, hair, energy and everyday nutrition.
This is a B-vitamin-rich yeast supplement as pressed tablets.
Brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is naturally high in B vitamins, protein and minerals including selenium and chromium.
It has been used for over a century, historically used for energy, skin health, hair growth and digestive function. The 500-tablet pack is a substantial supply for daily long-term use.
What is in Brewer's Yeast
It is the inactivated yeast left over from beer brewing, concentrated and pressed into tablets as a food supplement.
It is naturally one of the richest food sources of B vitamins and contains:
- thiamine (B1),
- riboflavin (B2),
- niacin (B3),
- pantothenic acid (B5),
- pyridoxine (B6) and
- folic acid
It also has a small amount of chromium and selenium.
B vitamins have multiple EFSA-approved claims:
- Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and B6 all boost energy.
- B6 helps with red blood cell formation and immunity.
- Folic acid helps with normal blood formation and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
Brewer's yeast gives these in a whole-food context rather than as isolated synthetic vitamins.
Uses of Brewer's Yeast
Main reasons customers take this supplement:
- Energy and fatigue where B vitamins are suspected to be marginal.
- Skin, hair and nails, where B vitamins and trace minerals contribute to normal skin and hair maintenance.
- As a whole-food alternative to synthetic B-complex tablets.
- Traditionally for digestive function, where the yeast itself gives a mild probiotic-like effect.
- For vegetarians and vegans looking for a natural source of B vitamins (though brewer's yeast does not have significant B12).

FAQs: Nature's Aid Brewer's Yeast
What is brewer's yeast?
It is the inactivated yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from beer brewing, concentrated and pressed into tablets. It does not contain alcohol. It is naturally rich in B vitamins, protein and trace minerals.
Does brewer's yeast contain alcohol?
No. The yeast is inactivated and separated from the alcohol. These tablets are alcohol-free.
How many tablets should I take?
3 to 6 tablets daily with food. It is a whole-food supplement, not a concentrated extract, so larger doses are normal.
Is brewer's yeast a good source of B12?
No. Most brewer's yeast products do not contain B12. For vegans, choose a B-complex that specifically includes B12 or take a separate B12 supplement.
Can brewer's yeast cause candida problems?
This is inactivated and is not the same as Candida albicans yeast (which is a fungal infection). Taking brewer's yeast does not feed or cause Candida overgrowth (Thrush) for most people.
Is Nature's Aid Brewer's Yeast a medicine?
No. It is a food supplement, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any condition.
Is it safe in pregnancy?
It is generally considered safe in pregnancy and contains natural folic acid and B vitamins. Check with your pharmacist, particularly to avoid duplication if you are on a pregnancy multivitamin.
Can I take it with MAOI medication?
It contains tyramine, which can interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants. Do not combine without pharmacist or psychiatric team agreement.
Does it have a taste?
Yes. Most Vitamin B preparations have a slight smell and taste to them (some people notice them more than others do). It is usually savoury, yeasty, slightly bitter and a bit
like strong Marmite or nutritional yeast.
- Take 3 to 6 tablets daily with food
- Split across meals rather than one large dose
- Swallow with water
- 500-tablet pack lasts 2 to 6 months depending on daily dose
- Use consistently for 4 to 8 weeks to assess effects
Best Time to Take Brewer's Yeast
With meals, morning and lunch most commonly. Avoid late evening doses if you find B vitamins mildly energising. Daily consistency matters more than exact timing.
How Long for Brewer's Yeast to Work
Energy and daily vitality changes typically appear at 4 to 8 weeks. Skin and hair effects build over 8 to 12 weeks. Not a same-day supplement.
