Pharmachem Innovations will showcase its latest advancements in GPM Fermented Nutrients, now with the addition of a clinically relevant dose of postbiotics (1 billion TFU), at SupplySide Global (Booth 4845).

The latest launch of GPM Biome provides a dual-benefit solution: enhanced nutrient absorption and gut/immune support in one clean-label ingredient.

Unlike isolated synthetics or engineered chelates, Pharmachem’s GPM fermented nutrients mimic how vitamins and minerals occur in nature. GPM Fermented Nutrients are available as organic, non-GMO, soy-free and gluten-free.  

Clinical Evidence of Bioavailability & Tolerability

Recent clinicals have shown increased plasma levels as well as tolerability with GPM Fermented Zinc and GPM Fermented Iron.

In a double-blind, randomized crossover trial (Jäger et al., 2024; Nutrients), 16 adults received a single 11 mg dose of zinc as either GPM Fermented Zinc vs USP zinc oxide. Plasma zinc concentrations were significantly higher with GPM Fermented Zinc at 120, 180, and 240 minutes. Compared to zinc oxide, GPM Fermented Zinc demonstrated an ~40% greater incremental AUC and a ~10% higher Cmax (trend). Both formulations were well tolerated, with no reports of gastrointestinal distress.

In a randomized, three-period crossover trial (Secrest et al., 2025; Cureus), 17 adults received 18 mg of iron as GPM Fermented Iron vs ferrous bisglycinate (FBC) vs ferrous fumarate (FF). GPM Fermented Iron demonstrated superior absorption, with serum iron levels averaging +27 mcg/dL higher than FF and a significantly greater iAUC compared to both FBC and FF. All formulations were well tolerated, with no gastrointestinal side effects, highlighting GPM Fermented Iron’s favorable safety profile.

“Our fermentation process is already clinically proven to improve nutrient absorption and digestive comfort. Now, via our proprietary fermentation process, GPM Biome naturally generates beneficial postbiotics with clinically supported immune benefits,” said Árpád Széchényi, president and CEO, Pharmachem. “This innovation reflects consumer demand for science-driven, clean-label solutions that support gut and microbiome health.”
