Sesame Minerals
A Natural Source of Calcium and Minerals
100% sesame seed derived highly-bioavailable calcium and minerals
Better Absorption
Since ancient times, sesame has been cultivated and globally recognized as a nutritious food. However, plants including sesame contain absorption inhibitors (e.g., phytic acid and oxalic acid), which inhibit the body’s absorption of minerals. JBSL focused its attention on the seed coat of sesame, which contains calcium and other rich minerals. JBSL’s original, patented method ensures the removal of all absorption inhibitors, improving the bioavailability of the minerals.
Sesame Minerals is a 100% plant-based mineral source.
Research
Superior bioavailability of sesame calcium was demonstrated in
a rat study that compared it to shellfish-derived calcium and typical pharmaceutical-grade calcium carbonate. Study results showed that sesame calcium had twice the ratio of absorption of the other calciums.
For manufacturers targeting the vegan or vegetarian market – known consumers of supplements – Sesame Minerals offer a uniquely salable source of calcium and other vital minerals.
