Bio-Strath

Bio-Strath: Feel Like a Kid Again!


A popular tonic with Jo Anne’s Place staff, Bio-Strath is one of the best-known whole food supplements in the world.  Producing Bio-Strath begins with a special variety of yeast.  The yeast is cultivated using several wild herbs.  This process continues until the yeast has absorbed all of the nutritional properties of the herbs. 

The yeast is then fermented until the cells breakdown, releasing all the stored nutrition and energy.  There is no reproducible yeast left after this process, called plasmolysis, is completed.

Bio-Strath is a 100% absorbable source of B vitamins, antioxidants, 19 trace minerals and elements, 20 amino acids, lecithin, coenzymes, other vitamins, and RNA/DNA. 

Studies show that Bio-Strath:


  • Significantly increases absorption of dietary nutrients due to its fermentation.

  • Improves mental and physical stamina.

  • Increases resistance to cold and flu.

  • Decreases recovery time in convalescence. 

  • Relieves constipation and improves elimination.

  • Improves mood and concentration.

  • Increases concentration and focus for children with ADD and ADHD.

  • Aids in fetal development and is an ideal supplement during pregnancy.  Women who suffer from nausea will find it easy to assimilate.

  • Regulates hemoglobin – a wonderful aid for blood building and correcting iron deficiency. 

  • Has powerful antioxidant properties.


You can read all about Bio-Strath's effects in clinical studies on their website.


The nutritional profile and biology of yeast cells is so similar to human cells that scientists sometimes use yeast in studies to predict human outcomes.  Yeast is the perfect food for human nutrition.
