Lallemand Expands its Range of Yeast-Based Ingredients to Address Specific Market Segments

LALMIN is a range of inactivated whole cell yeast ingredients containing standardised and elevated levels of specific vitamins and minerals (Vitamin D, B-complex Vitamins, Selenium, Zinc, Iodine, Chromium, Manganese, Magnesium etc.).

3 Oct 2012 --- Based on the success of its specific formulas LALMIN Immune and LALMIN Beauty, Lallemand Health Solutions has formulated new custom solutions to address growing health markets such as sport nutrition, detox, vitality, women or senior health. LALMIN is a range of inactivated whole cell yeast ingredients containing standardised and elevated levels of specific vitamins and minerals (Vitamin D, B-complex Vitamins, Selenium, Zinc, Iodine, Chromium, Manganese, Magnesium etc.). In particular, it has been shown that these ingredients offer superior bioavailability than their inorganic counterparts (Se, Zn, Cu, and more recently Vitamin B). Hence LALMIN ingredients combine optimal availability for the body to the added benefits of yeast, since the nutrients (essential minerals, vitamins, co-factors, proteins) naturally present in yeast are preserved through the production process.

The new LALMIN Solutions have been formulated to combine some of these key ingredients to address growing health markets:

• Sport nutrition is a rapidly growing market and the demand is strong, not only from athletes but also from the general public, for energy and vitality promoting supplements. LALMIN Vitality combines LALMIN B-Complex Vitamins to yeast nucleotides.
• LALMIN Detox is a rich source of natural antioxidants and molecules with detoxifying properties: LALMIN Se, glutathione yeast and yeast beta-1,3/1,6-glucans (Glucans-30).
• LALMIN Senior combines LALMIN Vita D and LALMIN B-Complex Vitamins.
• LALMIN Women has been specifically formulated for women health, it contains LALMIN Vita D, LALMIN Cr and LALMIN B-Complex Vitamins.

And finally, the two solutions which have been successfully marketed for a couple of years:

• LALMIN Immune combines the complementary immune and antioxidant properties of yeast-based selenium and Vitamin D to activated yeast beta-glucans.

• LALMIN Beauty: because yeast is among the natural ingredients for which the link with radiant skin and hair is well known, LALMIN Beauty is a natural solution to tap into the emerging Nutricosmetic market. It contains standardised levels of bioavailable minerals and vitamins: LALMIN Se and LALMIN Zn, combined to LALMIN B-Complex Vitamins.
