Yeast mineral-enrichment fermentation

Growing yeast in a mineral-rich culture medium so the yeast cell metabolically incorporates the mineral into its own organic cellular matrix during growth, rather than binding a mineral salt to a ligand after the fact.

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.
