Saccharomyces Ferment Mineral Complexes

Saccharomyces Ferment Mineral Complexes are cosmetic-grade mineral glycopeptides that exhibit increased penetration and are less irritating than free minerals. Those ingredients provide essential elements to function in the body's largest organ, the skin. Topical applications of molecules such as vitamins and enzymes are used throughout the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries to keep skin healthy, inside and out. Minerals are a natural addition to this list of vital nutrients.

Minerals are critical to maintaining optimal health. They are essential constituents of the thousands of biochemical processes that occur within our bodies' cells. Minerals help support the immune system and facilitate the production of hormones and enzymes. Minerals participate in myriad metabolic reactions that can be rapidly consumed, disrupting the delicate balance of these vital nutrients. Our bodies cannot synthesize minerals; therefore, they must be acquired through external sources.

It is well known that insufficient levels of certain minerals can lead to deficiency-related syndromes. For example, a deficiency in the element iodine can result in thyroid-related skin diseases. Inadequate levels of the element zinc can be attributed to skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. Minerals are as essential to our external health as to our internal health.

Calcium is involved in maintaining healthy cell membranes and regulates the passage of nutrients in and out of cells. Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation in Calcium ions rich media results in a complex wherein polypeptides function as carriers of Ca2+ minerals.

Saccharomyces/Copper Ferment is a biotechnological ingredient derived from the fermentation of living yeast cells in a copper ion-containing medium. It is a mineral-glycopeptides complex known under the trade name the Acqua-Biomin® Copper Y3.

Germanium has been included for its free radical scavenging properties and ability to improve oxygen utilization.

There is a long history concerning the use of seawater in health and beauty due to its wealth of micro and macro minerals. Seawater has been shown to exhibit spectacular effects with regular use. The use of sea salts in bath water can imitate the curative effects of mineral springs.

Saccharomyces/Selenium Ferment is a biotechnological ingredient derived from the fermentation of living yeast cells in a Selenium ion-containing medium. It is a mineral-glycopeptides complex known under the trade name the Acqua-Biomin® Selenium Y3.

Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment is a biotechnological ingredient derived from the fermentation of living yeast cells in a zinc ion-containing medium. It is a mineral-glycopeptides complex known under the trade name the Acqua-Biomin® Zinc Y3.
