Who can benefit from Lynside® Forte B?

In foods, B-vitamins are only present in small amounts, they are not stored in sufficient quantities by the body, and must be constantly replenished. Therefore B-vitamins are especially important for:

  • Vegetarians who are at a higher risk of developing clinical symptoms related to vitamin B12 deficiency (1).
  • Older individuals who may need to supplement their intake due to problems of absorption (2)(3).
  • Athletes or highly active individuals who have an increased need for energy production.

How is Lynside® Forte B made?

Lynside® Forte B is a nutritional yeast in powder with a high content of B-vitamins. It is derived from a pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Finally, 8 B-vitamins are added to the cooled yeast in a controlled manner before being drum-dried, allowing delivery of a high-quality 8-vitamin fortified yeast cocktail.
