Brewer's yeast, also known as baker's yeast , is the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is an excellent natural source of B vitamins and other nutrients such as magnesium, iron, copper, zinc and potassium[1]. What is vitamin B and what is its function? Life without B vitamins is impossible because they are essential for humans, as the body cannot produce them itself and is therefore dependent on their intake through food or supplements . The vitamin B complex performs numerous important functions. These include energy metabolism, the immune system, vision, the production of blood cells, supporting mental function and protecting cells from oxidative stress. Folic acid also plays an important role before and during pregnancy. The vitamin B complex includes a total of eight vitamins: Thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin (vitamin B7), folic acid (vitamin B9), cobalamin (vitamin B12).[2] Which foods for vitamin B deficiency? As the water-soluble B vitamins B, with the exception of vitamin B12, cannot be stored in the body , the daily requirement must be met through food . Important sources of vitamin B are: Fruit & vegetables: Bananas, spinach, peas & lentils, avocado Whole grain products, nuts & seeds: Wholegrain cereals, wheat germ, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, almonds, cashews, peanuts, sesame seeds Animal foods: Beef or veal, chicken, tuna, oysters, herring or mackerel (especially vitamin B12) More about vitamin B and its effects can be found in our store.
