Hi, I heard brewer's yeast or nutritional yeast was great for the skin and wanted to start taking it.?

Anyone know which is better, or the difference? And how to and how much to consume.. daily? I live in Barcelona any idea how to say it in spanish or where one can find it? Thanks :)

Brewer's yeast is nutritional yeast, as opposed to the yeast in breads. It is high in B-vitamins so is good for the mood and boosts energy between meals, and also contains many amino acids and at least 14 different minerals.

It is supposed to be good for the skin condition called eczema, probably because of the vitamins and minerals it contains.

You take a tablespoon or so in juice (tomato juice is good) or water. It has a strong taste, so water may not be for you. You can put it in soups, too, and take it that way.

If you are prone to yeast infections, this is not for you. Get your vitamins and minerals from other sources.

Because it contains significant amounts of phosphorous (as do sodas), which can deplete your calcium and make you lose bone mass, you'll need to take extra calcium to keep your bones in balance.

You probably can find it online on an English-speaking web site. Just Google brewer's yeast or nutritional yeast and see what comes up.

Good luck!
