Phosphorus is the second most abundant inorganic element in the human body and is a port of many important compounds, including ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and sugar phosphates. Phosphate helps to protect blood systemic acid-base balance, and acts as a transport mechanism for energy. 104 milligrams of phosphorus can be found on every 100 grams of Yeast extract spread, the 10% of the total daily recommended phosphorus intake.

Selenium is incorporated in a small cluster of important proteins (called “selenoproteins”), each of which plays a critical role in our health. In 100 grams of Yeast extract spread, you can find 27.6 micrograms of selenium. It provides the 39% of the daily recommended value for the average adult.
