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.
MenaQ7® activates the calcium-binding proteins that direct calcium into bone and away from arteries. Mycondro™ clinically validated to reduce joint pain, improve mobility, and decrease joint inflammation.

Osteoarthritis now affects working-age adults (25–49): 38.8 million cases projected by 2040 — the audience extends well beyond 65+.
(Ref: Scientific Reports, 2025)
30% of women actively use supplements to support joint health as they age
(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 aging adults all feel it differently, but all benefit from the same solution: proactive cartilage and bone support.
MyCondro™ + MenaQ7® — comprehensive joint and bone support. Together they address both joint function and bone structure; the complete mobility ecosystem.
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 delivers 45% higher bioavailability than bovine-derived chondroitin sulfate.
Bone health: the foundation of every active life
Without strong bones, mobility, independence and performance are all at risk. 9 million osteoporotic fractures occur globally each year.
MenaQ7™ – the most clinically validated Vitamin K2 as MK-7 with a high general purity of 0f > 97%.
The Move: a new approach to joint and bone health
MyCondro™
Chondroitin sulfate: Fermentation-derived form of chondroitin sulfate, an ingredient linked with superior joint health.
MenaQ7®
Vitamin K2: MenaQ7® is the optimal bioavailable 99.8% all-trans vitamin K2 as MK-7.
MenaQ7® Matrix
