Frequently Asked Questions
What is brewer’s yeast powder used for?
It is used as a food fortifier to add naturally occurring protein, fibre, B vitamins and minerals to drinks, cereal and recipes.
How do I take NOW Foods Brewer’s Yeast Powder?
Take 2 tablespoons, approximately 16 g, daily. Mix it into milk, juice or cereal, or add it to cooking and baking recipes.
Is brewer’s yeast the same as nutritional yeast?
No. Both come from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but brewer’s yeast is produced through the brewing process and generally has a more bitter flavour. Nutritional yeast is grown specifically as a food ingredient and is frequently fortified with additional vitamins.
Is NOW Foods Brewer’s Yeast Powder gluten-free?
The Canadian bottle label says “Contains: Wheat,” so the product should not be described as gluten-free.
Does this brewer’s yeast contain vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is not listed on the Canadian Nutrition Facts panel. Do not rely on this product as a source of vitamin B12.
Can brewer’s yeast increase breast-milk supply?
There is not enough valid human research to establish that brewer’s yeast increases milk production. Anyone concerned about milk supply should consult a physician or qualified lactation professional.
Is this product vegan?
Yes. NOW Canada identifies the product as vegan and non-GMO. It still contains wheat.

I was on the verge of giving up on breastfeeding until I found Brewers Yeast Powder (Now Foods). My supply was low and I needed a boost. The first time I took it, I noticed an increase in my milk production. It gave me the energy to keep going and now I am able to provide my little one with more than enough milk.
