And here's some information on brewers yeast vs nutritional yeast
Yeast is a one celled organism. It is often used in baking to increase the size of breads. Yeast consumes sugars and gives off carbon dioxide, a process called fermentation. There are many types of yeasts; yeasts for baking, brewing beer, and nutritional yeast, which has added vitamins for vegetarian consumption.
Nutritional Yeast
According to the American Dietetic Association, nutritional yeast is designed for vegans and vegetarians to supplement vitamins that are lacking in their diet due to not eating meat and animal products. Nutritional yeast is a yeast that is often grown on molasses, sugar beets or wood pulp, to absorb Vitamin B-12 and protein. The yeast is then added to food as a supplement. Nutritional yeast becomes deactivated during the process and is not considered active, and cannot ferment to produce carbon dioxide as do traditional baking yeasts.
How to Use
Nutritional yeast is described as having a nutty or cheesy flavor. Due to this strong nutty, cheesy flavor, it is often ideally supplemented in place of cheese in vegan recipes. Nutritional yeast is typically sold as a flake or granule and can easily be added to any dish to add protein and Vitamin B-12.
Brewers Yeast
In the book, "Foods Experimental Perspectives," brewers yeast is described as being a live yeast used in the process of brewing beer. Alternatively, brewers yeast can also be defined as the inactive yeast obtained after the brewing process that has gained B vitamins from the grain used in beer. This yeast can also be used as a dietary supplement for the addition of the B complex vitamins. Brewer's yeast does not have vitamin B-12, as does nutritional yeast.
How to Use
Brewers yeast can be purchased as flakes, powder, a liquid, and as a tablet. Similar to nutritional yeast, brewer’s yeast can be added to any food to add nutritional value in the form of B Vitamins.
Which to Choose
Nutritional yeast is the better choice for vegans and vegetarians because of the supplementation of B-12 that is often lacking in their diets. Brewer’s yeast can be used by anyone who is interested in adding extra B vitamins to her diet, with the exception of vitamin B-12.

I've read about moms who eat these types of cookies with brewers yeast
and they produce up to 9 oz of breast milk rather than 4-6 !!!
