Nutritional food yeast is a great source (when fortified) of B12.

B12 is important for the healthy nerve and blood cells. It is mainly found in animal products, so if you’re following a vegetarian or vegan diet, then fortified nutritional yeast is a superstar ingredient! ⭐️

Have you been prescribed a PPI (proton-pump inhibitor) by your doctor for acid reflux?💊👩🏽‍⚕️

PPIs prevent certain cells in the stomach from releasing acid. They work a little slower than other reflux medications but provide a longer, lasting relief.

When we're stressed, we release cortisol - a stress hormone. For some, this can cause our digestive system to slow down, leading to bloating and constipation😬💩
