On November 22nd, Gnosis by Lesaffre hosted a highly successful event in Taipei at the “Howard Plaza Hotel”, focused on Optimizing Folate Supplementation: The Science Behind Quatrefolic® and Its Superior Benefits.
The event featured Professor Luca Tiano, a renowned key opinion leader from Italy, who captivated the audience with his insightful presentation on the critical role of folate in human health. Participants, including healthcare professionals, industry leaders, and academics, gathered to learn about the latest scientific advancements in folate supplementation and how Quatrefolic®, Gnosis’s innovative 5-MTHF solution, is redefining standards in the nutraceutical industry.
Addressing UMFA and Unlocking Neurological Benefit
A key focus of the discussion was the issue of UnMetabolized Folic Acid (UMFA), a growing concern associated with traditional folic acid supplementation. Prof Luca Tiano emphasized the superior solubility and bioavailability of Quatrefolic®, which eliminates the risk of UMFA buildup in the bloodstream. Unlike folic acid, Quatrefolic® as an active form of folate (5-MTHF) does not require enzymatic conversion, allowing it to be efficiently absorbed and utilized by the body. Moreover, its unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier offers enhanced support for neurological health, further cementing Quatrefolic®‘s position as the optimal choice for folate supplementation.
Commitment to Advancing Folate Awareness
Gnosis continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to advancing the science of Quatrefolic® and fostering awareness of folate’s vital role in health. With strategic initiatives like this event, the company is strengthening its support for the region and empowering the nutraceutical market with innovative, science-backed solutions. The success of the event not only highlights growing interest in folate supplementation but also marks a significant step forward in accelerating awareness about Quatrefolic® as the gold standard in folate innovation.
