AIDP to distribute Cura Global Health’s Ultimine™ whole food minerals
AIDP, Inc. has offers the Ultimine™ brand of whole food derived minerals from Cura Global Health Inc., Ames, Iowa. Ultimine™ is a line of whole-food minerals derived from natural fermentation of Koji fungi (Aspergillus oryzae). The minerals—including iron, zinc and multi minerals—are taken up by the fungus through a patented fermentation and harvesting process to yield highly bioavailable minerals.
In one study of Ultimine™ iron from Koji, bioavailability was similar to ferrous sulfate, the gold standard of iron bioavailability. In another study, Ultimine™ iron from Koji was absorbed more than 2.8 x better than the standard iron used in fortified food (ferric pyrophosphate).
