A water-based yeast extract that provides natural B vitamins and trace minerals as a whole-food nutrient source.
Similar, but not identical. Aqueous yeast extract is a more refined, concentrated form of the same organism.
No. This is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, not Candida. Completely different species. Dead yeast, at that.
The amounts are lower and less predictable. But some research suggests food-form B vitamins may be better retained by the body.

Yes. Yeast is a fungus, not an animal product. It's used in many vegan B12 supplements.
Most research uses 0.3g daily. Below 0.1g, you're probably wasting money. Above 1.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 20.0g.
Water extraction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yields B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, folate), amino acids, beta-glucans, and trace minerals in a bioavailable food matrix.
Aqueous Yeast Extract has emerging evidence.
