Description
Asahi Super Beer Yeast Z, 660 Tablets — 44 Days, Zinc 7 mg and Copper 0.6 mg
Overview
This product contains milk. The calcium in it is milk calcium, declared by Asahi as milk-derived. Milk is a priority allergen in the EU, the UK and Japan, and “brewer’s yeast” is not a phrase that leads anyone to expect it — so it goes at the top of the page rather than inside the ingredient list.
Fifteen tablets a day — 3.75 g of brewer's yeast and added nutrients — supply zinc 7.0 mg, copper 0.6 mg, vitamin B1 5.5 mg, B2 6.0 mg, B6 1.6 mg, B12 2.4 µg, vitamin C 20 mg, calcium 110 mg and magnesium 11.7 mg, plus the selenium and chromium carried in the yeasts. 660 tablets, 44 days.
This is the Z version. Its sibling, Super Beer Yeast V, is a different product with vitamins A, D and E and iron instead of the zinc and copper. Both are 660 tablets and 44 days, both were sold here under near-identical text, and until now nothing on either page let a customer tell them apart. Z is the zinc-and-copper one.

Who Is This For?
- People who want zinc with copper alongside it, rather than zinc on its own
- Anyone who prefers a food-based B-vitamin source to isolated vitamins
- People who already know they get on with brewer's yeast and want a Japanese pack with a published panel
- Anyone deciding between this and the V version, who now has a one-line difference to decide on
- Not for: anyone with a milk allergy; anyone taking a monoamine-oxidase inhibitor; anyone with Crohn's disease; anyone with gout or raised uric acid without a doctor's agreement; anyone immunocompromised or on immunosuppressants without asking a doctor; vegans; under-18s; anyone pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How to Use
- Take fifteen tablets a day. That is the maker's stated serving and the basis of every figure on this page.
- Spread them through the day, after meals — five after each of three meals is the usual pattern.
- Swallow with water or lukewarm water.
- The tablets have the taste and smell of brewer's yeast. That is the product, not a fault.
- Store away from direct sunlight, heat and damp, and out of reach of children.
Frequency: Daily, after meals

Full Japanese declaration: brewer's yeast, milk calcium (milk-derived), selenium-containing yeast, chromium-containing yeast, cellulose, zinc gluconate, vitamin C, silicon dioxide, calcium stearate, vitamin B2, vitamin B1, copper gluconate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12
Contains milk. The calcium in this product is milk calcium (ミルクカルシウム), declared by the maker as milk-derived. Milk is a priority allergen in the EU, the UK and Japan, and the live listing did not name it. Anyone with a milk allergy should not take this; the lactose content is not declared, so people avoiding lactose should treat it as unknown rather than as absent.
On the phrase “9 vitamins and 10 minerals”. It is Asahi's own, and it refers to what brewer's yeast naturally carries in trace amounts — not to declared, added quantities. Retail listings of this product routinely expand it into a list of nineteen named nutrients including folic acid, biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, iron, potassium and manganese. Asahi adds none of those seven, and none appears on its nutrition panel. The table above is the maker's panel and nothing else.
Zinc at 7.0 mg is well under the European upper level of 25 mg, and copper is present at 0.6 mg — which matters, because zinc taken for months without copper lowers copper status. Of the two, that pairing is the actual argument for this version over the V.

Cautions
- Contains milk. The calcium in this product is milk calcium (ミルクカルシウム), declared by the maker as milk-derived. Milk is a priority allergen in the EU, the UK and Japan, and the live listing did not name it. Anyone with a milk allergy should not take this; the lactose content is not declared, so people avoiding lactose should treat it as unknown rather than as absent.
- Not with MAO inhibitors. Yeast products contain tyramine, and the combination with a monoamine-oxidase inhibitor can raise blood pressure sharply.
- Not if you have Crohn's disease, where antibodies to brewer's yeast are common and yeast supplements are routinely avoided.
- Gout and raised uric acid: yeast is high in purines, and the daily serving is 3.75 g of it. Ask your doctor first.
- Speak to your doctor before taking this if you are immunocompromised or taking immunosuppressants, as is standard for yeast-derived supplements.
- Asahi prints three exclusions on the pack itself: do not take this if you are under medical treatment or taking prescribed medicine without asking your doctor first; not for children or anyone under 18; and not while pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- This is a food, not a remedy. Brewer's yeast is widely marketed for the bowel, for immunity, for wound healing and for detoxification. None of those is an authorised claim in the EU or the UK, none is notified in Japan, and none is a reason to buy this product.
- Do not exceed the stated daily serving. More is not better with this formula.
- Stop taking it and speak to a doctor if you feel unwell after use.
- Store away from direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, and out of the reach of children.
- This is a food, not a medicine. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for a varied diet or for medical advice.

FAQ
Does it contain milk?
Yes. The calcium is milk calcium and Asahi declares it as milk-derived. Milk is a priority allergen in the EU, the UK and Japan. Anyone with a milk allergy should not take this — and “brewer’s yeast” is not a phrase that leads anyone to check. The lactose content is not declared, so treat it as unknown rather than as absent.
Which one is this — Z or V?
Z. It is the version with zinc 7.0 mg and copper 0.6 mg. The V version has vitamins A, D and E and iron instead, and no zinc or copper. Both are 660 tablets over 44 days, both were sold here under near-identical text, and until now nothing distinguished them. If you want zinc, this is the one.
Fifteen tablets a day — is that right?
Yes. 15 tablets is 3.75 g of yeast and added nutrients, taken through the day after meals. It is worth knowing before you buy, because it determines whether you will actually keep taking it — and because every figure on this page is stated per fifteen tablets, not per tablet.
Does it really contain 19 vitamins and minerals?
Not as added, declared quantities. The old description listed nineteen items including folic acid, biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, iron, potassium and manganese — Asahi adds none of those and none is on the panel. What is on the panel is in the table above. The "9 vitamins and 10 minerals" phrasing is the maker's and refers to trace amounts naturally present in brewer's yeast.
Is there anyone who should avoid brewer's yeast?
Yes, and it is the part of a brewer's yeast page that most often goes unwritten. Not with a monoamine-oxidase inhibitor, because yeast carries tyramine. Not with Crohn's disease. Ask your doctor first if you have gout or raised uric acid, because 3.75 g of yeast a day is a meaningful purine load. And ask your doctor if you are immunocompromised or on immunosuppressants.
