Medium explanation Each mineral plays a different role in the biosynthetic pathway: sulfur is involved in olivetolic acid, phosphorus and magnesium in the MEP pathway and geranyl pyrophosphate, and iron/zinc/manganese in the geranyltransferase enzyme that puts those pieces together. Advanced explanation It provides sulfur (precursor of olivetolic acid), phosphorus and magnesium (via MEP and geranyl pyrophosphate) and iron/zinc/manganese (cofactors of geranyltransferase). It is precursor nutrition — Yolia does not promise final conversion to resin acids, it only ensures that the actual chemical precursors are available.
