Sorry Gail - I dont think it is. It is full of salt so not good for blood pressure. Its ok once in a while - but I wouldnt have it every day.:(🙂Bev
 
Its got carbs (not much) and alot of protien I think, not much fat, so I suppose its fine...........everything in moderation though.......

Missed the salt.........well done..:confused:
 
I love it too, especially the new stronger version!! Still probably better for you than jam on your toast! :D
 
The vitamin B in it is very good for stress tho' - yes its high in salt but if you love it you can cut out the salt in other areas of your diet. When I had a few problems with my health as a child and lost a lot of weight my doc told my Mum to give me Marmite on brown bread/toast every day. (He also told her to give me Sanatogen tonic wine so perhaps his advice is a bit outdated now!)

Here's what Marmite have to say about the salt content:

http://www.marmite.com/love/nutrition/salt.html

I think as long as you aren't guzzling tons of the stuff then it shouldn't be an issue. I have cut out salt from most areas of my cooking now so can afford some marmite on toast every now and again! The Vitamin B12 is particularly important to diabetics I believe and marmite is a good source of this. 🙂

I imagine a spoonful is more than the recommended 4g, so probably not a good idea to do that too often! 😱 What is your blood pressure like?
