1.Ultimine™ line of products is a naturally derived source of whole-food minerals, clinically proven to be bioavailable and produced under proprietary (patented/patent pending) Koji fermentation. All products are generally recognized as safe (GRAS), are considered non-Novel in the EU and Ultimine™ Koji Iron is licensed in Canada as an OTC dietary supplement.
2.The Ultimine™ line of products offers an alternative to brands looking to differentiate by formulating with clinically validated whole-food minerals. These products meet consumers’ interest in fermented, minimally processed, whole-food sources of nutrition.
3.Ultimine™ minerals are also a great alternative for companies involved in combating malnutrition and developing improved products for mineral fortification.
Thirteen ingredients are available in the marketplace
1. Koji Iron Fe-S
Fermentation carried out using ferrous sulfate as an iron source for Koji culture. Koji biomass contains 7-10% iron on a dry basis, a fine powder for easy formulation with other ingredients, less than ¼ gram provides 100% DV. Scientifically proven to be effective, slow release and with less side effects.
2. Koji Iron Fe-P
Fermentation carried out using ferric pyrophosphate as an iron source for Koji culture. Koji biomass contains 7-10% iron on a dry basis, a fine powder for easy formulation with other ingredients, less than ¼ gram provides 100% DV. Scientifically proven to be 2.3 fold more bioavailable than ferric pyrophosphate in bouillon cube fortification.
3. Koji Zinc
Koji biomass contains 6-8% zinc on a dry basis, fine powder for easy formulation with other ingredients, less than 200 mg provides 100% DV on zinc.
4. Koji Calcium
Koji calcium has the highest calcium content, up to 10%, in the biomass form.
5. Koji Chromium
Koji chromium is highly concentrated and provides 100% DV in ultra small dose.
6. Koji Selenium
Koji selenium is highly concentrated and provides 100% DV in ultra small dose.
7. Koji Iodine
Koji iodine is highly concentrated and provides an organic form of iodine as an alternative to iodine salt.
8. Koji Multi 7
Koji Multi 7 is not a blend of seven single Koji minerals. It is produced in a single fermentation in the presence of seven minerals – iron, zinc, chromium, selenium, copper, manganese and molybdenum. Koji naturally uptake all 7 minerals. A ¼ gram provides at least 25% DV of all 7 minerals.
9. Koji Multi 6
Koji Multi 6 is produced in a single fermentation in the presence of six minerals – zinc, chromium, selenium, copper, manganese and molybdenum. Koji naturally uptake all 6 minerals. A 1/5 gram provides at least 50% DV of all 6 minerals.
10. Koji ZnSe
Koji ZnSe is a zinc and selenium co-fermented product.
11. Koji ZnCr
Koji ZnCr is a zinc and chromium co-fermented product.
12. Koji FeCu
Koji FeCu is an iron and copper co-fermented product.
13. Koji FeI
Koji FeI is an iron and iodine co-fermented product.
