Solgar Yeast Powder, 14 oz

Great quality, meets expectations.

I was worried because I’d heard these kind of things can taste bitter and gross. However, this tastes great! It took a couple samples to adjust to having that much yeast flavor in my mouth (if you’ve never eaten straight up yeast, you may need to brace yourself for the first taste) but it didn’t taste bitter AT ALL. I’m taking it as a health supplement as well as trying to induce lactation. I add it to oatmeal and it just makes it taste and feel like a bread pudding or something which is fine. I can add it to smoothies and barely taste it. It’s definitely best in meals that involve cheese, meats, bread, beans and/or sauces. But to be perfectly honest, I can easily pour a scoop of this into my mouth, chew a little and swallow! It’s not a flavor I crave but it doesn’t taste bad at all. Definitely, definitely recommend! Just after a week of taking my skin seems to be clearing up, I have more energy, and while this wasn’t ever an issue for me it’s kept me super regular as a bonus. Can’t speak for its performance as a galactagogue yet but I’m optimistic! Definitely add this to your diet if you’d like an extra boost of vitamins and nutrients!

Before this product, I was struggling with my milk supply as I could only get 1.5 oz altogether from a session. It was very frustrating and I figured that maybe I was just a low capacity producer that would need to pump more times a day. With more sessions and more liquid intake, it didn't really help. But after buying this product, my supply has increased to being able to pump 2 - 2.5 oz from EACH boob, which is a major improvement and it's only been a week since I have been on this product. You will see some negative reviews about the taste, but it's not bad at all. I assume the other users might have used a lot of the powder (or too much) in their food. With this in mind, I just used the yeast powder in small increments so that it would not ruin the taste of the original food or drink. For example, I tried a half a teaspoon in my bowl of oatmeal, 2 tablespoons in a fruit smoothie (never noticed the difference in taste because of all the fruit), and I discovered it even tastes good with a cup of chocolate milk (you just have to mix a half teaspoon of the powder with a little bit of hot water before mixing it with the cold chocolate milk). I think as long as you find ways to spread the dosage into different things you consume each day, the taste is not noticeable. The positive reviews about the taste had helped me buy this product because they said other brands were horrible in taste. This one is not even bad at all in my opinion.

I purchased this item to help increase my breast milk supply. It was recommended by my lactation consultant. I have to say that even though I tried many different options to increase my milk supply, this did work. The taste is horrible, but if your using it for health reasons there are ways to get around that. My lactation consultant recommended that I use it in baking to make lactation cookies. Well I didn’t feel like baking so I would mix it as directed with Juicy Juice apple juice. The sweetness of the apple juice made it a lot easier to chug down. After 2 days of using as directed with apple juice, I pumped twice as much breast milk as I had before using Brewers yeast. I did not use this for any other reason than to increase my milk supply so I recommend giving it a try to women who need help in that area.

Struggled for a while with breastfeeding and milk supply. I did a ton of research to help increase my supply and so found myself trying multiple products as a result of my findings. I tried several different recipes and products that contained ingredients such as oats, ground flaxseed, brewer's yeast, fenugreek, and fennel. I found that consistently the recipes that used brewer's yeast (either alone or in combination with others) did make a noticeable difference while recipes that used any combination of the others without the brewer's yeast, there wasn't as really noticeable difference. Additionally, cost comparison between the other products, you definitely get more for your money with this product. Canister is easy to open, scoop out what you need without mess, and reseal. (as opposed to the flaxseed I bought from the store, came in a bag that doesn't reseal and hard to get a level scoop out of). Obviously those other foods and ingredients work for some people or they wouldn't be so frequently recommended/studied so if they work for you, great. But if not, I definitely recommend trying this product or adding it to your arsenal if you still need an extra boost! Edit: I have been using this in a brownie mix because it is so delicious. Several friends of mine who are also breastfeeding have had increased production as well and they all want the recipe. Thought I would include it here too since it is so easy. Brownie Mix with ingredients specified on the box. 4 TBSP Brewer's yeast 1 TBSP Ground Flaxseed 1 TBSP water extra I mix the water, oil, egg, yeast and flaxseed together. The brewer's yeast tends to work better when first mixed with warm water. Then I add the brownie mix and bake according to directions. That's it! Yummy lactation brownies that my husband won't touch so all for me!

I bought this because I have only been able to pump enough to supply my 6 month old while I’m away at work- on the verge of running out almost daily, frustrated with myself for not being able to keep up. I’m not against giving him formula, but want to give him the absolute best source of nutrition, tailored to him. Within 24 hours, I’ve already seen an increase over just 2 pumping sessions. Before, I would pump 3-4 ounces while at work, this morning I pumped 5. I got home 4 hours later and pumped 7 ounces! I’m so happy and have relieved anxiety about running low. The only con I’ve found so far, as many others, is the taste. This is disgusting. 🤢 I took one tablespoon mixed with a shot of orange juice and chased it with more juice, bearable, but not enjoyable. I’m currently making lactation bites with oats and peanut butter, flax and chia seed. Hopefully that will cover the taste. Despite that, I’ll continue to use this product so I can build my freezer stash.

I was struggling with feeding my four month old daughter as my milk decreased ever since I went back to work. I researched and tried everything I could to get my milk back up. I've been taking two tablespoons of this brewer's yeast a day in combination with mother's milk tea and eating oatmeal daily I don't know if it's a combination of all three but my supply has gone way up in just a week. I had tried just the tea at first without noticing any results so I truly believe this is what boosted my milk. Now I'm not going to lie The Taste is absolutely disgusting but you get used to it. I read people add it to their oatmeal and I tried that the first day and had to throw it away! The way I found that works best for me is just to get it over with. I don't know why you would want to draw out eating this stuff. I add 2 tablespoons to a small glass of orange juice maybe half of a cup Stir It Up really well hold my breath and just down it. The I have another glass of juice to swish around in my mouth and swallow quick afterwards to get the flavor out. The aftertaste is pretty bad but drinking a little orange juice right after gets rid of that. And honestly after a week of drinking it I'm kind of getting used to it. I've heard people sprinkle it on popcorn I have not tried that yet I think my way is working great.

The product is good but delivery is very slow.

Within 24 hours I hv seen change in me, milk growth started it's little buti hv seen change, my kid is three n half month old n Brest milk supply nearly was stoped now happy to seen atlest some milk is there,its work for me

ممتاز

Really helped me increase my breast milk supply. Go for it. I use it in oats and in lactation cookies.

Product has expiry date remaining less than 6 months though the brewers yeast seems to be good.
