Brewers Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a natural ingredient, which is traditionally produced by washing, recovering and drying the spent yeast grown during the fermentation process of beer / alcohol. The yeast is dried using a temperature which stops biological activity whilst maintaining its unique nutritional properties. Brewers yeast contains a natural mixture of high-grade protein, vitamins and minerals and provides an excellent cost effective source of ingredients to enhance the nutritional value of basic foodstuffs.

Key Features and Benefits

• As one of the most concentrated natural sources of the B group vitamins, principally riboflavin, (Vitamin B1), thiamine (Vitamin B2) and nicotinic acid, brewers yeast is ideal for nutritional supplements and special tableting grades are available.
• Contains a minimum 40% high-grade protein and consequently the 8 amino acids essential for good health.
• Yeast protein also contains lysine, an essential amino acid which is limited in cereal protein.
• Provides a natural source of minerals such as phosphorous, calcium and potassium.
• Contains approximately 36% carbohydrate and more specifically oligosaccharides considered to have a pre-biotic effect.
• Suitable for vegetarians.

Overseal's blending expertise has led to a range of products with flavour notes from mild to sweet, nutty to savoury.

Selenium is a mineral essential for human metabolism and is required in small amounts. Mammals can not manufacture selenium and therefore it must be obtained from the diet.

Health benefits of Selenium*

Selenium is increasingly being viewed as a functional nutrient with both a role to play in the maintenance of good health and also in prevention of so called modern day diseases.¹ As an anti-oxidant nutrient, selenium prevents the action of free radicals which are believed to be causative agents behind degenerative diseases such as premature ageing, cancer and atherosclerosis.²

Clinical trials have also indicated that selenium can have a role to play in combating oxidative diseases,³ enhancing the immune response,⁴ increasing male fertility,⁵ improving psychological mood scores⁶ and reducing the pain and stiffness in arthritis sufferers.⁷

The Yesto-Sel™ range of dried yeasts contains a certified quantity of selenium in a form suitable for supplement incorporation.

The key features and benefits are as follows:-

• Yesto-Sel™ 1000 and Yesto-Sel™ 2000 products are available containing l000ppm and 2000ppm selenium respectively, standardized to ensure constant quality.
• Yesto-Sel™ products have been analyzed by an independent laboratory and have been confirmed as containing in excess of 98% 'organically' bound selenium in the form of selenomethionine. Organically bound selenium is currently viewed as the most bioavaliable form of selenium.
• Suitable for kosher and vegetarian dietary requirements.
• The yeast is produced under tightly controlled conditions to ensure that the correct quantity and form of selenium is present.
• The products are designed to be suitable for all supplement manufacturing systems.
• The products have a light brown color with a low flavour profile making them suitable for a wide range of delivery systems.
• Yesto-Sel™ retains the high-grade nutritional properties associated with Brewers yeast such as B vitamins (B1, B2 and B6), essential amino acid and minerals (e.g. calcium, phosphorus and potassium).
• All yeast products from Overseal Natural Ingredients are stringently tested for microbiological activity, produced in accordance with Overseal Natural Ingredients Quality system and require positive release by the Quality Control function.
