Microbiome Power

Microorganism strains such as lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, or yeasts are natural components of many fermented products. They are formed during the fermentation process and help break down, metabolize, or improve the availability of certain ingredients. Specifically selected strains are used in dietary supplements or functional foods with the goal of enhancing the product's diversity and quality.

They are created through the natural process of fermentation, in which microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria or yeasts break down plant and herbal extracts. This process makes the nutrients particularly readily available and gives the ingredients their characteristic digestibility. For centuries, fermented foods have been valued in many cultures – not only for their unique flavor, but also as a valuable addition to a varied diet. By combining traditional knowledge with modern fermentation technology, fermented ingredients now offer a unique way to naturally support the body in everyday life and support personal well-being.
