Contraindications / Precautions / Warnings If you have diabetes or hypoglycemia, consult with your naturopath or other health practitioner before beginning supplementation. Do not take brewer's yeast if you have candidiasis. If you are allergic to molds, use brewer's yeast with caution and only under the supervision of your naturopath or other health practitioner. Due to high amounts of phosphorus in brewer's yeast, people with osteoporosis should avoid this food. High levels of phosphorus in the body may leech calcium from bones as your body attempts to maintain a 2:1 ratio of calcium to phosphorus. You may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort in the first few days of supplementation as your body becomes accustomed to this food. Start with the lower dosage of 1/4 teaspoon and gradually increase intake. May cause occasional flatulence or digestive upset. |
