NUTRITECK B-COMPLEX GROUP - VITAMIN ENRICHED YEAST
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
NUTRITECK B-GROUP COMPLEX
is an
inactivated dried whole cell yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) containing
elevated levels of B-complex vitamins. A 500-mg quantity provides 100
o/o of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for B-complex vitamins. The
natural yeast fermentation is supplemented with low levels of B-complex
vitamins, the yeast cream is pasteurized and then spray dried. This
process allows the vitamins to interact with the yeast cell components
and the gentle processing conditions then preserve the level of the
vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients.

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS ON
VITAMIN YEAST
As the use of nutritional
supplements increase , there is a growing consumer demand for
more sophisticated information on the products they are consuming. Some
of the questions on vitamin yeast concern the importance of B-complex
vitamins in the diet, the bioavailability of vitamin yeast versus
inorganic sources and toxicity issues. We hope that this information
will be useful to those considering using vitamin supplements.
Yeast
versus other sources of vitamins
Yeast are, without a
doubt, both quantitatively and economically
the most important group of microorganisms commercially exploited in
industrial applications. They are widely used in Brewing, Baking and
Feeding of humans and animals.
Yeast synthesize their own
B-vitamin needs,
as there is no B-vitamin supplementation of the molasses necessary to
grow yeast. Furthermore, yeast have an excellent storage mechanism for
B-vitamins, as do other organisms, for factors needed for growth and
life. B-complex vitamins occur in yeast mainly in bound form as
components of enzymes and coenzymes. Thiamine is linked with phosphoric
acid. Riboflavin occurs in yeast flavoproteins, highly tied to proteins.
Pantothenic acid, one of the vitamins first isolated from yeast, is a
constituent of coenzyme A. Niacin is present in yeast as the amide of
nicotinic acid. Pyridoxine occurs as pyridoxal and pyridoxamine in
coenzymes. Biotin is found in yeast largely bound to proteins (HJ.
Peppler, 1970).
Saccharomyces
cerevisiae is known as being a naturally
rich source of B-complex vitamins. However, it is very difficult to
guarantee constant levels of B-complex vitamins in by-products such as
brewers yeast.
NUTRITECK
B-GROUP COMPLEX , the natural yeast fermentation
is supplemented with known levels of B-complex vitamins and therefore we
can guarantee that this product always contains the same amount of each
vitamin. It is possible with our process to obtain high levels of
B-complex vitamins in 500 milligrams.
Yeast is a
naturally rich source of proteins, amino acids,
minerals and B-complex vitamins. Not only does vitamin enriched yeast
offer a natural form of vitamin, it also provides other nutrients when
consumed.
Vitamin
enriched yeast is a natural, convenient, safe and economical
way to increase B-complex vitamin intake in human diets.
IMPORTANCE OF B-COMPLEX
VITAMINS IN THE HUMAN DIET
Vitamins are organic compounds
needed in small quantities to promote growth, life and
reproduction capabilities for both humans and animals. Unlike plants,
humans and animals are not able to synthesize vitamins, they have to be
part of the diet. Nutritecks RDA 500 YEAST is enriched with seven
essential hydrosoluble B-complex vitamins which are Thiamine (B1),
Riboflavin (B2), Pyridoxine (86), Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folic acid,
and Biotin.THIAMINE B1
The principal metabolic
function of thiamine is the precursor for thiamine diphosphate,
which is the coenzyme for a number of reactions involved in carbohydrate
metabolism and central energy-yielding metabolic pathways.
RIBOFLAVIN B2
Riboflavin is
the precursor for the synthesis of two coenzymes , riboflavin
phosphate and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). These two function in a
variety of enzymes catalysing oxidation and reduction reactions and
electron transport. Riboflavin is thus involved in a wide variety of
metabolic pathways, including the biosynthesis and catabolism of amino
acids, fatty acids and carbohydrates.
PYRIDOXINE B6
Six different
chemical forms of vitamin B6 occur in foods : pyridoxpyridoxal,
pyridoxamine and their phosphates. After absorptionthese forms of
vitamin B6 are converted into pyridoxal phosphate which is involved in
about 60 enzymatic systems. The principal metabolic function of
pyridoxal phosphate is the coenzyme in reactions of amino acids.
NIACIN
Two related compounds,
nicotinic acid and nicotinamide , have the biological activity
of niacin. The metabolic function of niacin is as the precursor of the
nicotinamide nucleotide coenzymes, NAD (nicotinamide adenine
dinucteotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate),
which are involved in a wide variety of oxidation and reduction
reactions.
PANTOTHENIC ACID
Pantothenic acid has a central
role in a wide variety of metabolic pathways. It is required
for the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), which is required in the
metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids. It also plays
an important role in the synthesis of the sterols such as cholesterol.
FOLIC
ACID
After absorption, the various
forms of folic acid are transformed into several active
coenzymes. Their principal function is to serve as the transport of
single carbon units (purin and pyrimidin) essential for DNA and RNA
biosynthesis and methylation reactions.
BIOTIN
Biotin functions as the
coenzyme transferring carbon dioxide in four reactions:
pyruvate carboxylase, a key step in gluconeogenesis; acetylCoA
carboxylase, the first step of fatty acid synthesis, and in two other
important carboxylases.
