General Metabolism

Minerals for the human metabolism

ISALTIS is developing and manufacturing minerals for proper functioning of the general metabolism. They are organic minerals : it means that the mineral part is vectorised by an organic moety of vegetal origin, in order to enhance its solubility and bioavailability.

  • Magnesium to treat fatigue, stress, migraines…
  • Calcium for stronger teeth and bones
  • Iron for hemoglobin and myoglobulin, as well as a cofcator of many enzymes
  • Manganese for osteoporosis, as an antioxidant and anti-aging. It also participates in the action of many enzymes and in particular the synthesis of insulin (and therefore the control of blood sugar)
  • Zinc for immunity, skin and hair health, vision, fertility, etc.
  • Copper: Powerful antioxidant, copper helps fight oxidative stress and cell aging, it also boosts the immune system, and participates in the action of many enzymes such as melanin or glucose oxidation

Nutrition

Mineral salts are essential for human metabolism. They are less and less present in food because of industrial methods of food production, and the depletion of soils in minerals. Whether they are macrominerals like calcium or magnesium, present in significant quantities in the human body, or as trace elements (zinc, copper, manganese …) they each have a preponderant role in metabolism. Our organic mineral salts are used to treat deficiencies linked to our lifestyles. Our organic minerals have a high bioavailability, linked to their biomimetic nature. Our know-how consists in decorating the mineral with an organic vector of plant origin in order to increase its solubility and its bioavailability. These are “premium” or “third generation” mineral salts with high added value, both in their design and in their quality, and are adapted to the needs of our customers. Their efficiency is proven by clinical studies, and they are very well documented.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of food applications in which they are used :

FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

Magnesium to treat fatigue, stress, migraines…

Calcium for stronger teeth and bones

Manganese for osteoporosis, as an antioxidant and anti-aging. It also participates in the action of many enzymes and in particular the synthesis of insulin (and therefore the control of blood sugar)

Zinc for immunity, skin and hair health, vision, fertility, etc.

Copper: Powerful antioxidant, copper helps fight oxidative stress and cell aging, it also boosts the immune system, and participates in the action of many enzymes such as melanin or glucose oxidation

We offer for example by type of mineral:

  • Calcium: glucoheptonate and calcium glycerophosphate
  • Magnesium: gluconate and magnesium glycerophosphate
  • Iron: iron gluconate (organic form highly tolerated by human metabolism, without side effects and tasting less pronounced than other forms)
  • Trace elements: Copper, zinc and manganese gluconates

OUR FLAGSHIP ACTIVES

GIVOMAG (magnesium glycerophosphate) is a highly bioavailable magnesium chelate with no side effects on the metabolism, and is part of the 3rd generation mineral salts, called “premium”. Its effectiveness is proven by clinical studies, and a study carried out with LALLEMAND has proven its synergistic effect with probiotics, thanks to the presence of phosphorus in its composition. It does not contain additives and has a very low level of heavy metals. ISALTIS owns the GIVOMAG trademark and can authorize its use under license.

GIVOMAG has its own website: www.givomag.com for more information

GIVOCAL (calcium glycerophosphate) is a highly bioavailable calcium chelate with no side effects on the metabolism, and is part of the 3rd generation mineral salts, called “premium”. It is in particular the salt of choice for the most sensitive applications (example: milk for premature babies or babies suffering from serious diseases). The fact that it contains phosphorus and calcium in proportions similar to hydroxyapatite makes it the best choice of calcium salt for remineralizing bones and teeth. Its effectiveness is proven by clinical studies, and a study conducted with LALLEMAND has also proven its synergistic effect with probiotics. It does not contain additives and has a very low level of heavy metals. ISALTIS owns the GIVOCAL trademark and may authorize its use under license.

SPORTS NUTRITION

Our minerals are perfectly suited to sports nutrition, especially drinks thanks to their solubility. Traditionally, sodium and potassium are the most used but it should not be forgotten that calcium and magnesium participate in the good contraction of the muscles also. In this sense, we have developed HYDRA 4G, a mixture based on the 4 key minerals of sports practice, which contributes to hydration and the proper functioning of muscles during sports practice. Infant nutrition Our organic minerals are well tolerated by the body, do not cause side effects and have good organoleptic properties. They are therefore recommended for nutritious products intended for children. In particular, our calcium glycerophosphate is very suitable for baby milks to replace traditionally used inorganic salts (calcium carbonate for example), source of colic for young children.

INFANT NUTRITION

Our organic minerals are well tolerated by the body, do not cause side effects and have good organoleptic properties. They are therefore recommended for nutritious products intended for children. In particular, our calcium glycerophosphate is very suitable for baby milks to replace traditionally used inorganic salts (calcium carbonate for example), source of colic for young children.

Synergistic effect with probiotics

Several studies carried out in partnership with our parent company Lallemand, show a good synergy and compatibility between organic minerals and probiotic strains. These studies have given rise to several commercial developments of food supplements made up of probiotics and organic minerals.

Sports

SPORTS NUTRITION

Eating well is important for all living things, and it is all the more crucial for athletes. It must not only be healthy, balanced and varied but also meet energy needs. Food supplements and sports drinks are developed to compensate for any deficiencies, and improve performances of athletes.

ISALTIS develops and manufactures a range of organic minerals capable of improving the sportsman’s contributions, increasing their performance and their hydration.

A dedicated active : HYDRA4G

ISALTIS has developed HYDRA4G, a synergistic mixture of 4 minerals specifically designed for optimal hydration of the athlete and proper functioning of the muscles, thanks to its intake of magnesium and calcium, in addition to the potassium and sodium traditionally present in sports drinks .

HYDRA4G is a powder and can be used for various finished forms: sachets, capsules, tablets, drinks, shots …

GIVOBIO LA range (lactates)

ISALTIS produces zinc lactate (Givobio La / Zn) and magnesium lactate (Givobio La / Mg), which are the most recommended forms in sports nutrition. Indeed, lactate increases the bioavailability of the mineral, but is also converted by metabolism in the form of energy for the muscles, the heart and the brain.

Other organic minerals

ISALTIS offers highly bioavailable organic forms of several other minerals: magensium, potassium and calcium but also zinc, copper, manganese (natural antioxidants) … for complete supplementation of athletes.

Immunity

MINERALS, KEY ACTORS OF IMMUNITY

ISALTIS is designing and developing organic mineral salts having high bioavailability. Some of them are particularly critical for the immune system, in particular zinc salts.

ZINC AND IMMUNITY

Zinc is THE mineral of immunity. Weak immune defenses are directly correlated to zinc deficiencies, which are more and more prevalent in our modern societies. Zinc is an essential cofactor of the enzymes involved in immune defense. ISALTIS offers different zinc salts with different solubility and zinc content:

  • zinc gluconate
  • zinc citrate
  • zinc lactate

 

MAGNESIUM, VITAMIN D ACTIVATOR AND ANTI-FATIGUE ALLY

Beyond the pure immune function, it is important to guarantee the body a minimum of energy to fight against the surrounding infections. Magnesium deficiencies can cause fatigue and stress that decrease the body’s immune response capacity. Magnesium is also activtaing Vitamin D, a crucial nutrient to fight against infections.

ISALTIS designs and manufactures several magnesium salts:

  • magnesium glycerophosphate
  • magnesium lactate
  • magnesium glucoheptonate
  • magnesium gluconate
  • magnesium citrate

Our ferrous gluconate can also be an ally for the body.

All these active ingredients can be used in nutrition (food supplements, drinks, food fortification, etc.). Most of them are also GMP Pharma certified and have a complete pharmaceutical file for use in medicine.
