Description
Product Overview
NOW Foods Nutritional Yeast Powder is a nutrient-rich dietary supplement in powder form, developed by the brand NOW Foods, which has a long tradition of delivering high-quality and carefully controlled health products. The product comes in a convenient 284 gram package and is based on a specially selected strain of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Unlike brewer's yeast, which is a by-product of beer production, this yeast is cultivated separately and purified to ensure high quality and to be free from unwanted yeast strains such as Candida albicans. This means you receive a product that is both pure and rich in natural nutrients.
The nutritional yeast is enriched with several B vitamins in stable and easily absorbable forms, making it a valued supplement for those seeking extra nutrition from natural sources. The powder form is versatile and can easily be mixed into food and drinks, suitable for both vegetarians and vegans, as well as anyone wishing to complement their diet with protein and important vitamins.
The NOW Foods brand was founded in 1968 in the USA with a philosophy that values naturalness, transparency, and sustainability. They strive to offer products that are thoroughly tested and produced with consideration for both the environment and consumer health. Nutritional Yeast Powder is no exception – a product that combines tradition, quality, and meticulous production.
Active Ingredients & Science
The base of this dietary supplement is dried nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which naturally contains a rich profile of B vitamins and high-quality protein with all essential amino acids. The yeast is cultivated in controlled environments on enriched sugar and beet molasses bases, contributing to a consistent and reliable nutrient composition.
To further complement the nutritional value, the powder is enriched with several B vitamins in their bioavailable forms: thiamine (B1) as thiamine hydrochloride, riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6) as pyridoxine hydrochloride, folate (B9) as folic acid, and cobalamin (B12). These vitamins are water-soluble and well-known for their roles in the body's energy metabolism, nerve function, and cellular processes.
Benefits & Uses
- Vegetarian and vegan alternative: Nutritional Yeast Powder is an excellent choice for those seeking a plant-based supplement rich in protein and B vitamins, without animal ingredients.
- Easy to use daily: The powder can easily be mixed into smoothies, soups, sauces, or sprinkled over salads to add flavour and nutrition.

The recommended dose is approximately 5 grams (equivalent to about one tablespoon) per day. The powder form makes it easy to adjust the amount according to needs and personal preferences.
