Full Nutrition Content of Dried Brewer Yeast
Dried Brewer Yeast is a natural, highly nutritious ingredient obtained as a byproduct from the beer-brewing process. It is composed mainly of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, carefully dried to preserve their valuable nutritional compounds.
Rich in high-quality protein, essential amino acids, B-complex vitamins, minerals, nucleotides, and bioactive polysaccharides, Dried Brewer Yeast is widely used as a feed additive for livestock, pets, and aquatic animals.
