Whole Food Nutrients - Questionnaire




Different approaches exist to producing vitamin and mineral ingredients for consumer brand manufacturers in the largely undefined category called:


WHOLE FOOD NUTRIENTS


Bio-Foods, Ltd. is the first raw material supplier to produce a full line of such nutrients utilizing an active yeast fermentation method (1991).  Bio-Foods does not claim to know the exact production methods of other producers, nor the full details of their claims.  Still, we are sometimes asked what the differences are. So in order to help individuals compare approaches themselves, we propose they fill in the column below with information gleaned from ads or discussions with producers of the products they are curious about.



POINT OR DETAIL

BIO-FOODS, LTD.

BIO-TRANSFORMED® VITAMINS and MINERALS


PROD

   X

Nutrient products are produced utilizing fermentation by a living organism in a whole food media.

       YES

 

Producer defines whole food as retaining a full compliment of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, un-partitioned or isolated from each other by solvents or chemical means.

       YES

 

Living organism used has been utilized by humans in the production of foods for millennia.

       YES

 

Living organism used contributes more to the vitamin and mineral content than it uses (yeast for example).

       YES

 

Living organism used withdraws more from the vitamin and mineral content than it contributes (bacteria for example).

        NO

 

Living organism used can decrease phytates known to hinder mineral absorption.

       YES

 

Living organism process results in increased amphiphilicity.

       YES

 

Food media contains organically grown non-GMO, non-irradiated or gassed whole foods.

       YES

 

Media includes foods synergistic to the particular nutrient being produced.

       YES

 

Media contains voluminous water as necessary for true, vigorous fermentation (merely moist or pasty is not enough).

       YES

 

Dried nutrient products are tested for absence of Candida albicans.

       YES

 

Nutrient products are powerhouses of proteins, fiber, beta-glucans, phospholipids, and many other nutrients common to nutritional yeast and soy.

       YES

 

Vitamins or minerals are only bound to a simple glyco-protein.

        NO

 

Minerals are only bound to an individual amino acid.

        NO

 

Vitamins and minerals are in complex formation with constituents of a whole food matrix.

       YES

 

Producer defines Whole Food Nutrients as vitamins and minerals bound to a simple glyco-protein.

        NO

 

Producer defines Whole Food Minerals as Amino Acid Chelates.

        NO

 

Producer defines Whole Food Nutrients as vitamins and minerals in complex formation with constituents of a whole food matrix, AND

       YES

 

said nutrient products are produced with the help of Nature itself through utilization of a living organism.

       YES

 

Nutrient products have been spiked or “standardized” with USP vitamins or minerals after the core process, be it fermentation or growth or extraction, is completed.

        NO

 

100% of the claimed vitamin or mineral content is introduced prior to the core process, be it fermentation or growth, or is derived 100% from that naturally present in the claimed food source to be extracted (such as Vitamin D-2 from Lichen, Vitamin C from Amla, Vitamin A from Fish Liver Oil).

       YES

 

 

 

 

 

Every vitamin and mineral form used complies with European Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006.        YES
