Glycoprotein-matrix mineral binding

A proprietary fermentation process binding minerals within a glycoprotein matrix, distinct from simple yeast-cell mineral uptake, marketed for improved absorption in finished formulations.

Where it's used

Chelated mineral supplements from fermentation
Human-nutrition mineral ingredients produced by fermenting yeast in a mineral-rich medium so the yeast cell incorporates the mineral into its own organic matrix — an absorption and tolerability improvement over inorganic mineral salts — sold by four specialists (Gnosis by Lesaffre, Pharma Nord, Lallemand, Pharmachem Innovations) as B2B ingredients and, in Pharma Nord's case, finished consumer supplement products.
