Our clinical focus areas supporting the natural journey of Women’s Health
Vaginal health: unlocking the conversation women are ready to have
Intimate health is no longer niche — it is essential. A balanced vaginal microbiome is the body’s first line of defence.
Quatreflora™ — the only probiotic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856) clinically proven for comprehensive intimate health support.
Fertility, pregnancy and lactation: raising the standard where it matters most
Folate is critical to reproductive health, yet deficiency remains widespread. For a large proportion of women, standard folic acid cannot be converted efficiently into the active form the body needs.
Quatrefolic® – the bioavailable active folate (glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-MTHF) requires no metabolic conversion – immediately available to all.
Peri- and menopause: Protecting bone, joint and heart health when oestrogen falls
Menopause accelerates bone loss, fracture risk and cardiovascular decline simultaneously.
Our solution for bone and heart health: MenaQ7® activates the calcium-binding proteins that direct calcium into bone and away from arteries.

(Ref: CRN Consumer Survey, 2024)
Mobility is no longer defined by age. Today mobility means freedom, performance, prevention and active longevity. This category now spans athletes, active adults, professionals under physical strain as well as an ageing population determined to maintain independence.
At Gnosis by Lesaffre we support mobility by addressing the two key dimensions:
- Strong structure: MenaQ7® provides the structural foundation – bone strength that underpins every movement.
- Improved movement: MyCondro™ delivers the functional solution – joint comfort, flexibility and daily performance.

Our clinical focus areas supporting Performance and Mobility health
Joint health: stay active, perform better, move longer
Joint stress accumulates across every lifestyle – athletes, sedentary professionals and ageing adults all feel it differently, but all benefit from the same solution: proactive cartilage and bone support.
MyCondro™ + MenaQ7® — comprehensive joint and bone support.
Cartilage support: protecting what keeps you moving
Cartilage degrades with age, repetition and mechanical stress. Natural chondroitin synthesis slows from midlife; sport and demanding physical activity accelerate the wear.
MyCondro™ — the world’s first non-animal, fermentation-derived chondroitin sulfate.
Bone health: the foundation of every active life
Without strong bones, mobility, independence and performance are all at risk. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 activates osteocalcin — the protein that directs calcium into bone and prevents its accumulation in arteries. Nine million osteoporotic fractures occur globally each year.
