Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.
- Where it comes from
- Brewing and dedicated fermentation plants.
- Why it's in the product
- B vitamins, palatability, and beta-glucans that have some evidence for immune support.
- Safety and toxicity
- Safe and not the same thing as an active yeast infection, despite a persistent myth. Selenium yeast is simply a carrier that makes selenium more bioavailable.
- Interactions and who should be careful
- Yeast is an occasional allergen. Some dogs with yeasty skin do better off it, though the mechanism is not established.
