Brewers Yeast Powder for Lactation, 3lbs (90 Servings) | Debittered Brewers Yeast for Breastfeeding Support | Great for Lactation Cookies & Tea | Rich Vitamin B Complex & Protein Source | Non-GMO

Pros: Out of everything I've used to help me lactate, this by far helped the most to increase my milk production - but be aware: I ended up making so much milk that I easily can get engorged (after previously having supply issues), so taking sunflower lecithin in combination is a MUST. This may sound great at first, but overproducing can lead to blocked ducts, engorgement, mastitis, and eventually stop milk production if the milk can't get out. So use sunflower lecithin and massage to avoid that (it worked for me perfectly). The price is more affordable than other brands I've tried, which is why I switched to this one, then discovered it actually increased my milk supply better anyway, so stuck with it. Cons: The taste is VERY bitter It doesn't mix well into cold liquids (powdery and clumps in cold liquids), so warm liquid is needed to mix it better Overall: I would highly recommend this for lactation (if nothing else, it was THE item that saved my low milk supply), but ONLY in combination with sunflower lecithin, and I would suggest mixing it with a small amount of liquid and chase it with a large amount of something that tastes good and strong.

This stuff is absolutely fabulous. If you're wondering if it's worth it to spring for the debittered version, IT IS. As someone who cheaped out that last time I needed a lactation supplement in the form of a cookie, I can attest that the difference is enourmous. Also, the volume of product you're getting could easily last you a years worth of lactation cookies, but the flavor is so subtle, you could honestly get by with adding a bit extra to each batch without having to counteract it with additional sweetener or chocolate chips. Far healthier option in that regard.

Super bitter. I don’t know if I got a faulty batch but it’s horrible.

I put a scant teaspoon in every bowl of dog food. The three dogs like it. If I don’t put it in their food, they sniff for it. Great reduction in fleas and skin issues. No wild scratching. No hotspots. We’re a big fan in this household. I have three dogs. The 3 pound bag lasts about 6 months. Highly recommend for this use.

Great supplement for breastfeeding support. Mixes easily enough. Taste is meh, but you just have to get used to it or mix it with something flavorful. Overall a solid product.

We do not use brewers' yeast straight. Rather, it is a component of our home-baked bread. This stems from a Medscape study from a few years back. The yeast is shelf-stable if kept dry. I might need months to use a bag and the powder stays fresh. The consistency is similar to but even "looser" than flour. Be careful because particles can fly for some distance. We had previously used a different brand of yeast and it left a bitter taste in the bread. This was not surprising because the yeast comes from cells that settle out or are filtered out after fermenting grain into alcoholic beverages. The yeast is "killed" during drying so that it does not begin fermenting foods or drinks. Many such beverages, such as beer, are intentionally bitter and so is the resulting yeast. Different vendors attempt to de-bitter the yeast and succeed to varying degrees. This vendor does a better job of de-bittering. Brewer's yeast delivers some vitamins resulting from fermentation which are otherwise scarce in the human diet along with other nutrients that were in the grain. During WWII, food rationing resulted in nutritional deficiencies. Brewer's yeast was turned into a dietary spread commonly consumed on toast. Australia called the spread "Vegemite" while the rest of the UK called it "Marmite". Both are the color and consistency of thick chocolate syrup but the taste is far different. Both products used a LOT of salt to cover the bitterness of the yeast. If anyone is interested, all of the large grocery chains carry small jars of Vegemite and one does not need a lot for trial. This yeast is de-bittered better than my previous brand and does make better bread. For some reason, that other brand reduced how well the bread rose. This yeast does not have that problem.

I originally purchased brewer's yeast from a different brand and it tasted fine. I started brewer's yeast for lactation support and saw an improvement in my milk supply. So I thought, since I'll be breastfeeding for several more months, I'll get a bigger bag to be more cost effective. This brand tastes awful! I cannot cover the taste in my oatmeal or smoothie no matter what I do. I will suffer through this 3 lbs bag but will NOT buy this again. I'm just hoping it does still help support lactation like the other brand does. The bag does reseal well and it does come with a scoop.

better results than I thought overall a good taste and for what ever reason puts me in a better mood ?? I was just told through a nutritionist that it's good for your digestion. I'm no doctor or scientist But I suggest this to someone that's feeling down... works for me got me. Gets me in a better mood 4 sure . but I do feel better internally and mood wise. (Update) OK.. So now I went to look it up and I found that if you take this very type Brewers yeast or a good Brewers yeast... You get an overall effect of feeling good and is good for digestion. I can't believe everything I read on the net but from first person experience I do feel better when I take some some. I sprinkle it on my eggs salads and or good green health drink (not to much though) . I think you'll get some good health benefits consuming this
