Does Polyclar Drop Out My Yeast?

[TwistedHalo]

I'm wondering if anyone here is experienced with using Polyclar as a clearing agent to combat chill haze in bottle conditioned beer. I picked some up at my LHBS and then started to read about it on the interweb, and I've read some contradictory stuff. Some sources suggest that if you are bottle conditioning you will need to add more yeast at bottling because the yeasties will be drawn to the bottom along with the poly phenols and proteins that cause chill haze in the first place. Others seem to suggest that enough yeast is leftover to still fully carbonate without adding additional yeast. I'm also wondering if it will affect the secondary fermentation (it's to be added to the secondary) of the beer if it does in fact drop out the yeast. Thanks in advance for any help!

I haven't used polyclar in a long while, but I used to add it to the bottling bucket not the secondary. Never needed to add any additional yeast, all my beers carb'd up fine.
