Brewers Yeast Powder

No. Live yeast products such as Yea-Sacc use viable Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells that survive into the hindgut as a probiotic. Our Brewers Yeast is inactivated, so it acts more as a nutritional source of B-vitamins, amino acids and yeast-derived beta-glucans rather than as a live culture.

Usually yes, but check the label. Most commercial balancers contain a small amount of yeast for hindgut support and additional Brewers Yeast on top is generally safe. If your existing feed already provides high B-vitamin levels, the Brewers Yeast simply tops up the profile rather than duplicating it problematically.

Coat and skin turnover takes time. Most owners notice a brighter coat and steadier appetite within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily feeding, with topline and hoof changes following over 8 to 12 weeks.

Brewers Yeast is naturally low in starch and sugar and is generally considered suitable for good-doers and metabolically sensitive horses. Always introduce gradually and account for it in the overall daily ration.

Brewers Yeast has historically been included in growing horses' diets at low levels for B-vitamin and amino acid support. For foals and weanlings, it's best to discuss specific feeding rates with your vet or equine nutritionist so it fits within their balanced growth ration.

No. Brewers Yeast provides slow-release B-vitamins and amino acids rather than starch-based energy, so it doesn't typically cause excitable behaviour. If anything, owners often report steadier focus thanks to better B-vitamin support of the nervous system.
