Will Brewers Yeast from nutrition store be eaten by active yeast?

[ForeverBrew]

I am making an Oatmeal stout and want to put some brewers yeast in it because I heard it's good for milk production in breastfeeding mothers. The idea is much like how some people say drinking a Guinness is good for milk production. Polysaccharides in the barley seems to stimulate prolactin which helps moms make more milk although the alcohol works against milk production.

I want to take it a step further and put brewers yeast in the beer and maybe some other supplements that moms take to help make more milk. I have read that brewers yeast is actually dead yeast and is almost the same as yeast nutrient you find at a home brew supply store. I think the active yeast will eat it all up and it will not have the breast milk production properties. Any thoughts?

Wouldn't live brewer's yeast be just as healthy if not more so than the inactive kind?

Add it to the beer after you pop the top. as the suggested usage states:

I did think of adding it to the beer after it's opened but I'm making it for a few ladies and they don't all have some. Before popping the top could I turn it upside down a bit to gently mix the yeast that drops to the bottom? I've never drank the bottom of the bottle before.
