Brewer's Yeast is an excellent source of all amino acids, B-complex vitamins, minerals and naturally occurring nucleic acids. Most Brewer's Yeasts are derived from the fermentation of beer. Such fermentation involves using grain (rice, wheat, etc.), malt, active yeast and the dried flowers of hops. The addition of hops to the fermentation gives a characteristic flavor to beer but imparts a bitter taste to the dried Brewer's Yeast obtained as a by-product. Although efforts are made to de-bitter the yeast prior to final drying operations, most Brewer's Yeasts are, nevertheless, left with a detectable bitter odor. Solgar Brewers Yeast is produced from beet molasses under carefully controlled conditions. After fermentation, the yeast is collected and dried, using special techniques to preserve its protein, vitamin and mineral content Vegetarian Servings per container: approximately 15 Ingredients: Two heaped tablespoons (approx. 30 g) provide: Calories 100 Total Fat <1 g Sodium 54 mg Total Carbohydrate 11 g Dietary Fiber 6 g Protein 15 g Plus: thiamine 1 mg, riboflavin 2 mg, niacin 10 mg, iron 1.8 mg, vitamin B6 0.8 mg, folic acid 60 ug, vitamin B12 3 ug, phosphorus 20 mg, magnesium 32 mg, zinc 1.5 mg, copper 1 mg, biotin 15 ug, pantothenic acid 0.6 mg, calcium 35 mg, choline 126 mg, chromium 186 ug, selenium 63 ug, potassium 633 mg, PABA 0.8 mg, inositol 101 mg, RNA/DNA 2 g, alanine 1216 mg, arginine 784 mg, aspartic acid 1760 mg, cystine 99 mg, glutamic acid 2720 mg, glycine 816 mg, histidine 416 mg, isoleucine 816 mg leucine 1216 mg, lysine 1328 mg, methionine 272 mg, phenylalanine 768 mg, proline 512 mg, serine 896 mg, threonine 800 mg, tryptophan 240 mg, tyrosine 496 mg, valine 976 mg.
