Can brewer's yeast be taken if there is sensitivity to gluten or yeast products? — Brewer's Yeast, 200 tablets – OstroVit

Brewer's yeast is produced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae — the same yeast species used in baking and brewing. If you have a documented sensitivity or allergy to yeast products, taking this supplement without consulting a doctor is not advisable.

A separate question is gluten. Brewer's yeast itself does not contain gluten, but cross-contamination in production is possible if equipment is shared with gluten-containing raw materials. If you follow a gluten-free diet for medical reasons (for example, in coeliac disease), check the production information for the specific batch with the manufacturer or distributor.

In general, for any dietary peculiarities, chronic diseases of the digestive system or immune reactions to foods, consultation with a specialist before starting is a mandatory step, not a formality.
