How do brewer's yeast tablets differ from ordinary baking yeast? — Brewer's Yeast, 200 tablets – OstroVit

Brewer's yeast and baker's yeast are different products with different purposes. Baker's yeast contains live cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which actively multiply and cause fermentation — this is exactly what is needed to raise dough. OstroVit brewer's yeast tablets are inactivated: the cells are dried and not viable, so they cause no fermentation in the body.

The value of inactivated brewer's yeast as a dietary supplement lies in the fact that the dried cells retain a nutritional complex: compounds associated with B vitamins, protein components and amino acids, as well as mineral substances. That is why this product is considered not as a culinary ingredient but as a supplement to the diet.

The tablet form also solves the question of taste: dry yeast has a characteristic smell and aftertaste that not everyone likes. Tablets allow the supplement to be taken without contact with this taste.
