Gnosis by Lesaffre Showcases at Denk Ingredient's Annual Symposium in Munich

Gnosis by Lesaffre was a key presenter for Denk Ingredients‘ annual symposium in Munich, Germany. The event, held on September 23rd during the popular Oktoberfest festivities, saw around 70 customers and provided a platform to showcase the latest innovations, trends, and opportunities in the nutritional markets of Germany and Austria.

Gnosis long-standing partnership with Denk Ingredients, spanning over 15 years, has been a mutually successful endeavor. This effective collaboration has enabled both companies to succeed remarkably in the territories Denk served as Gnosis’ distributor. The symposium was an opportunity to not only do business but also to share positive emotions and create new business opportunities among the professionals in attendance. 

Addressing Women's Health & Longevity Trends

This year’s symposium focused on two key areas: women’s health and longevity. In the Women’s Health session, Dr. Hogne Vik, a medical doctor and researcher who serves as a medical and scientific advisor at Gnosis, presented insights on Quatrefolic®, the active folate, and MenaQ7®, the only clinically supported and patented vitamin K2 on the market. This highlighted the central role women play in families and communities, and the importance of their health in all aspects of life, including pre- and post-menopausal physical and mental well-being. 

In the Longevity session, Lorena Carboni, Sr. Product Manager & Scientific Communication Expert at Gnosis, showcased Adonat® Premium SAMe, the most important methylating agent in the body, and Mythocondro®, the first non-animal-derived chondroitin sulfate. With the global population of people aged 60 and over expected to double by 2050, reaching over 2.1 billion (25% of the global population), healthy aging has become a top priority. But maintaining physical and cognitive function is seen as more important than just avoiding disease across all age groups, from Gen Z to Boomers, creating a significant opportunity for businesses that can cater to the healthy aging needs and aspirations of consumers of all ages to benefit greatly. 

As Gnosis, we would like to thank Denk Ingredient for their continued effort and strong partnership in supporting the growth and success of our ingredients in their territories. 

Ingredients Insights Unveiled

QUATREFOLIC®
Quatrefolic®, the innovative folate, is the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). As a homocysteine metabolism regulatory, folate helps support women on so many different fronts and stages of life. From fertility, conception, and pregnancy to peri- and post-menopause (providing cardiovascular and cognitive support), Quatrefolic® is a “finished” folate, meaning the body can use it immediately without metabolization, this is important because while folic acid is the current standard recommendation for women seeking to conceive and pregnant women, folate is more effective for a broader population. 

MENAQ7® :
Bone strength and cardiovascular health are crucial for women’s overall well-being. Women build most of their bone mass during their teenage years and early 20s, reaching peak bone mass around 30. A strong foundation of calcium during youth helps women as they enter motherhood and menopause. Cardiovascular health is also vital, particularly after childbearing, when hormone protection declines. MenaQ7® K2 has been clinically proven to inhibit age-related arterial stiffness, leading to more flexible arteries while also improving bone mineral content and density, and bone strength. Given the lack of K2 in modern diets, a daily MenaQ7® supplement is an easy and effective way to support women’s health through all life stages, providing simultaneous bone and heart support. 

ADONAT® :
Adonat® Premium SAMe‘s role in longevity and healthspan is attributed to its methylation activity. Declining SAMe levels have been associated with aging, leading to DNA hypomethylation and reducing the synthesis of antioxidants and compounds crucial for gene expression and DNA repair. When supplemented, SAMe is particularly beneficial for the brain, which is highly susceptible to age-related diseases due to its sensitivity to oxidative damage, and supports physical and cognitive function throughout the lifespan. 

MYTHOCONDRO® :
Mythocondro®, the only non-animal-derived chondroitin sulfate, offers a breakthrough for joint health and longevity. Its patented fermentation process guarantees consistent quality and safety, overcoming the limitations of animal-based sources. By supporting joint function, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration, Mythocondro® helps maintain mobility and active lifestyles, even with aging. This innovative solution is a key development for those seeking to extend their vitality and well-being. As science advances, Mythocondro® stands at the forefront of longevity solutions, providing a safe, effective alternative for long-term joint health.
