H2: What Makes Realfood Yeast Flakes Nutritional B12 So Special?

1. Rich in Vitamin B12

Unlike many plant-based food sources, yeast flakes naturally contain Vitamin B12, an essential nutrient for energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system health. New Zealanders following plant-based diets often struggle to get enough B12—this 1 kg pouch ensures long-lasting supply, helping to prevent deficiencies.

2. High-Quality Protein Source

Each 15 g serving provides approximately 5–6 g of complete protein, including all nine essential amino acids—perfect for those seeking plant-forward protein. Ideal in a protein‑conscious environment, these flakes help you support muscle recovery, immune function, and overall wellness.

3. B‑Vitamin Powerhouse

Alongside B12, Realfood yeast flakes deliver a full suite of B‑complex vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), and folic acid (B9). These vitamins synergistically support energy metabolism, cognitive function, skin health, and more—a natural multitasker in your diet.

4. Fibre, Trace Minerals & Antioxidants

Beyond B‑vitamins, each serving provides dietary fibre and important trace minerals like zinc, selenium, and iron. These nutrients contribute to gut health, antioxidant defence, and immune support.

5. Naturally Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, and Vegan

Produced through a controlled fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Realfood yeast flakes are naturally gluten‑free, dairy‑free, soy‑free, and ideal for those with allergies or intolerances. Certified vegan, they offer the nutty, savoury taste of cheese without compromise.
