Ultimine™ Koji Minerals

Products

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

Koji iron is a source of iron produced using patented fermentation technology. The fementation features single strain Koji culture (Aspergillus oryzae) with food-grade, non-GMO raw ingredients, including ferrous sulfate . During the fermentaion, iron is absorbed into into the fungal cells (fungal mycelia) and ferrous sulfate is eliminated. The iron-rich fungal mycelia containing 7-9% iron is heat-inactivated, dried and ground to a fine powder. It is scientifically proven to be effective, slow release, has less side effects and improves gut health.

2. Koji Iron Fe-P

A fermentation is carried out using ferric pyrophosphate as an iron source for Koji culture. Iron is absorbed during the fermentation into the fungal cells (fungal mycelia) and ferric pyrophosphate is eliminated. The iron-rich fungal mycelia contains7-9% iron, a fine powder for easy formulation with other ingredients, less than ¼ gram provides 100% DV. Scientifically proven to be 2.3 times more bioavailable than ferric pyrophosphate in bouillon cube fortification.

3. Koji Zinc

Koji zinc contains 5.5-6.5 % zinc. Zinc is absorbed during the fermentation into the fungal cells (fungal mycelia) as shown on the cover page. It is a fine powder for easy formulation with other ingredients, less than 200 mg provides 100% DV.

4. Koji Calcium

Koji calcium has a high calcium content, up to 10% in the fungal derived form.

5. Koji Manganese

Koji manganese is highly concentrated and provides 100% DV in a small dose for easy formulation with other ingredients.

6. Koji Copper

Koji copper is highly concentrated and provides 100% DV in a small dose for easy formulation with other ingredients.

7. 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.
