Yeast protein is generally safe and a good alternative to whey for many people. In Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease / Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: - No strong evidence that yeast protein harms liver - Plant/yeast proteins may even improve metabolic profile slightly Whey is better studied, high biological value -Yeast protein → good alternative if lactose intolerance / vegan - Amino acid profile slightly inferior but acceptable
