Angel Yeast's Breakthrough in Yeast Protein Research: AngeoPro Shown to Promote Calcium Absorption, Aiding in Osteoporosis Prevention

YICHANG, China, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel Yeast (SH600298), a leading global food ingredients and biotechnology company, today announced a major advancement in research on its yeast protein product AngeoPro. New scientific studies confirm that yeast protein provides a balanced amino acid profile—nearly 48% of which are essential amino acids—closely aligning with the ideal protein reference standard. Importantly, the findings highlight yeast protein's ability to enhance calcium absorption and its potential role in supporting long-term bone health.

Research Highlights: Calcium Absorption and Bone Strength

This study, conducted in collaboration with Huazhong Agricultural University and published in Food Research International, evaluated how yeast protein impacts calcium metabolism and bone health in rat models maintained on both normal and calcium-deficient diets.

Key findings include:

• Supporting Calcium Absorption: Yeast protein (YP) was shown to boost intestinal calcium absorption through in vitro calcium chelation and in vivo slow-release mechanisms. Co-supplementation of yeast protein and calcium effectively increased serum calcium levels and improved bone biomechanical properties (P
