the immune system, whereas oat beta-glucans reduce the glycemic index
and lower the blood levels of both glucose and cholesterol.
Bioflavonoids
Natural flavonoids of diverse plants significantly influence the oxidation
metabolism of cells. We offer high-quality bioflavonoids with various
standardisations obtained from the peel of citrus fruits. The most
important bioflavonoids are hesperidin, rutin and quercetin, which is

Mineral and Trace Element Yeasts
Yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a living cell organism. It is cultivated in a
biologically natural process of multiplication according to specific
guidelines and under a steady process control in modern facilities under
strict hygienic conditions.
Specific yeasts, that contain minerals and trace elements, like chromium,
selenium or zinc in an appropriate dosage and high bio-availability, are
suitable to assure a sufficient supplementation with these minerals and
trace elements: thus the naturalness of the products is the guiding idea in
case of our yeasts.
We provide yeasts in different content standardisations – please ask us!

Due to their high content of omega-3- and omega-6-fatty acids, vegetal oils
