Newsletter(NaturalNews) We are confronted with the prospects of

worsening financial conditions for many, and the prospects of

supplement suppression grow with new regulatory bills being introduced

to hamper health freedom. It has already happened in the EU and Canada.

It might be prudent to look into making your own Vitamin B Complex from

yeast or simply ordering nutritional yeast products for your Vitamin B.

"Yeastaphobia" shouldn't be a problem once you know the difference

between good and bad yeasts, which will also be summarized in this

article.

 

The Importance of Vitamin B Complex

 

Good digestion requires vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6 to help extract

nutrients and provide the hydrochloric acid needed by the stomach.

Increased energy and decreased wear and tear from stress are hallmarks

of the B vitamins. Vitamin B1 converts carbohydrates into glucose, and

other B vitamins help convert the glucose into cellular energy to

combat lethargy or fatigue.

 

B Vitamins also promote healthy hair and nails. But more importantly,

the B vitamins help protect the nervous system and promote brain

functions. Sufficient B1, B5, B6, and B12 tend to minimize anxiety and

stress.

 

B12 is especially vital for mental energy and stamina as well as

important for producing red blood cells and preventing or curing

anemia. It is plentiful in meat, so vegetarians may need to supplement

B12 additionally by eating wholesome dairy products or free range eggs.

Sublingual (absorbed under the tongue) B12 tablets work well also.

 

Yeast for B Complex

 

Dr. Richard Passwater of Whole Foods Magazine interviewed Dr.

Seymour Pomper, who addressed "yeastaphobia": "...the term "yeast"

should not be applied too broadly, not when one "yeast" (Saccharomyces

cerevisiae) has been a servant of mankind for thousands of years and

another "yeast" (Candida utilis) may cause disease."

 

There are two types of non-Candida Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast

available to us: baker's and brewer's. And there are two types of

those, active and inactive. Active is good for baking breads or brewing

beer, but not for ingestion. The yeast is made inactive from the heat

during the baking or brewing process. When yeast is inactive it is

totally safe as it no longer actively reproduces spores. But it retains

the vitamins, minerals, and protein.

 

Yeast does not contain B12 unless it is added. Nutritional inactive

yeast flakes that display a T6635 code have B12 added. By chewing

thoroughly you absorb the B12 through the small blood vessels in the

mouth and avoid the gut's B12 trap. Nutritional yeast flakes with B12

is a cheaper way to take B Complex than using supplemental pills. But

still not the cheapest.

 

The Cheapest B for Thee

 

Though you may need to find a source for B12 that suits your life style

or diet, here's the cheapest way to supplement B Complex. Find

a source for baker's yeast, like maybe a bakery. Tell them you want to

eat it so please sell you the freshest. It should be very inexpensive.

Buy a pound or more.

 

It's active, so you need to make it inactive by stirring a quarter

pound at a time into a pan of water on low heat. Stir each quarter

pound until the whole pound is ultimately dissolved, then bring it to a

bubbling boil while still stirring. Put it into a ceramic or heat

treated glass container, cover it and stick it into the fridge.

 

Two or three spoons full a day should be fine. You can flavor or

sweeten it any healthy way you want. You've got a month or more of B

Complex for one at low cost, and you can disregard potential legal

restrictions. What a deal!
