B vitamins are key nutrients for human health and are essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Red Star® nutritional yeast is packed with five B vitamins, including vitamin B12
B vitamins, also known as the B-complex vitamins, are a group of vitamins that play a crucial role in maintaining good health. They are essential for various metabolic processes, including energy production, DNA synthesis, and the formation of red blood cells. B vitamins help support the immune and nervous systems and promote overall well-being. A deficiency in B vitamins can lead to various health problems, including fatigue, anemia, and weakness. As many of these vitamins cannot be produced by the body, consuming foods rich in B vitamins is important.

Red Star® Nutritional Yeast is the perfect solution to boost B vitamins. Indeed, thanks to a specific production process, the B vitamin content in Red Star® Nutritional Yeast is important.
Red Star® Nutritional Yeast is packed with 6 B vitamins:
- Vitamin B1
- Vitamin B2

Vitamin B12 is a key vitamin for everyone, but even more for vegans, vegetarians, and seniors.
Indeed, vitamin B12 is unique among the B vitamins because it is only found in animal-derived products and is not present in plant-based foods. Natural food sources of vitamin B12 include:
- Meat and poultry
- Seafood
- Dairy products
- Eggs
As a result, vegans and vegetarians may struggle to get enough vitamin B12 in their diet.
Seniors are also sensitive to vitamin B12 deficiency mainly due to malabsorption and other factors:
- Constraints in chewing or swallowing
- Restricted motility
- Economic & social factors
- Lack of appetite
- Drug treatment
All make Red Star® Nutritional Yeast an excellent source of B vitamins, especially vitamin B12, for everyone.
