Product Description
Japanese supplement aisles carry a whole category of yeast-based products, and Pakkun is one of the longest-running names in it. Pakkun Yeast from Svelty comes as a bottle of 120 tablets built around dried yeast and chitosan, taken with water before or around meals.
The formula pairs dried yeast, produced in France, with chitosan and a set of six herbal ingredients: white kidney bean extract, Garcinia cambogia extract, candle bush, Gymnema sylvestre extract, Salacia reticulata extract and oolong tea extract. Matcha, indigestible dextrin, oligosaccharides and bifidobacteria round out the list. Svelty describes the tablet as using a time capsule manufacturing method, designed so the yeast is delivered intact. Nutritionally, two tablets come to 1.9kcal with 0.25g of dietary fibre.
Important before you buy: this product contains chitosan derived from crab, milk-derived lactose and gelatin, so check the allergen list carefully. Speak with a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or being treated for any condition.
