Importance of Micronutrients:
Did you know that billions of
people worldwide are deficient in micronutrients?
A new study by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health states that "Micronutrient deficiencies are one of the most common forms of malnutrition globally, and each deficiency carries its own health consequences, from adverse pregnancy outcomes, to blindness, to increased susceptibility to infectious diseases."

Micronutrients are required in very small amounts, but they play huge roles in maintaining our overall health, from immune function to energy production. Minerals are inorganic substances, like calcium, iron, and magnesium, that help with processes such as bone formation and nerve function, while vitamins are organic compounds that support immune function, energy production, and cell repair.
The soybean originated in East Asia well over 3,000 years ago. In addition to the complete protein, soybeans offer the following vitamins and minerals: Folate, Selenium, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Many B-complex vitamins, Phosphorus, Antioxidants, Phenolic acids, Sapanonins, Fiber and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Benefits of Macronutrients:
Diet and nutrition trends aside, there’s no denying that protein is a vital macronutrient. Dedicated carnivores have little to worry about in this department. For vegetarians and vegans, though, getting adequate dietary protein takes a little more attention. Of all the meatless protein options available today, soy still ranks as one of the best. Here’s why you should turn to soy supplements or foods as a vegetarian or vegan source of protein.
Macronutrients are the nutrients that our bodies need in large amounts to provide energy and support growth, metabolism, and overall health. They include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats:
​
Carbohydrates: The body's primary source of energy, found in foods like soy, bread, pasta, rice, fruits, and vegetables. They are broken down into glucose, which fuels the body’s cells, tissues, and organs.
Proteins: Essential for building and repairing tissues, and they also play a key role in immune function and enzyme production. Good sources include soy, meat, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts.
Fats: Important for storing energy, supporting cell growth, protecting organs, and aiding in the absorption of certain vitamins. Healthy fats are found in foods like soy, avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish.
With Fermalife, you’re not just boosting immunity—you’re giving your body the nourishment it needs to thrive every day.
A Wholesome Source of Amino Acids:
Your body synthesizes proteins from building blocks called “Amino Acids.” Amino acids carries out the functions of the body which includes providing the body with energy, building muscle, supporting the immune system and much more.
Fermalife is packed with 19 free-form amino acids, and these amino acids are ready to be absorbed through the human body’s gastrointestinal tract. In addition, it also contains many antioxidants, such as Vitamin A, C, E, B2, K and trace mineral selenium. Fermalife actually helps cleanse and strengthen your system…so you look and feel your very best.
Fermalife contains all eight amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, lysine, threonine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, and valine ) which are essential for the human body, and they must be ingested from food sources which are most commonly found in only meat and dairy. So, it is very critical for vegans or people who are adopting a vegan diet to include these 8 amino acids in their daily lives.
