A fermented soy and yeast base used to grow nutrients in whole-food supplement formats.
Yes. Even if the label says 'contains soy,' the actual soy protein content after fermentation is very low. But if you have a true soy allergy, talk to your doctor first.
Debatable. Whole-food advocates say the food matrix improves absorption. Research is mixed. Both forms work for preventing deficiency.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) can absorb and concentrate minerals and even biosynthesize certain B vitamins when grown on enriched media. It's a clever manufacturing trick.

The compound effect of consistent dosing.

Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Usually a mix of active and inactive. The inactive yeast is killed during processing. Neither poses a health concern for most people.
More or less. The vitamins are metabolic byproducts of yeast growing on soy flour. Sounds gross, but it's the same basic process behind bread, beer, and nutritional yeast.
No. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is baker's yeast, not Candida. Different species entirely. It doesn't colonize your body the same way.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) is cultured on organic soy flour to biosynthesize and concentrate vitamins and minerals in a food-matrix form.
Culture Media (Organic Soy & Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has emerging evidence.
Organic soy flour · Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast)
Organic soy flour is inoculated with S. cerevisiae yeast. The yeast grows on the soy substrate, metabolizing nutrients and concentrating vitamins and minerals in a food-matrix form. The entire culture (yeast + substrate + metabolites) becomes the supplement ingredient.
