Active Folate, Vitamin K2, and Glutathione Seminar 2022 coming to Indonesia and Vietnam
8 November 2022
On 17 and 22 November, more than 100 professionals from Vietnam and Indonesia will gather to share science and knowledge on Quatrefolic®, MenaQ7®, vitaMK7® and Emothion® at the Active Folate and Vitamin K2 seminar.
Themed “Rejuvenate Life through Innovative Ingredients”, the Active Folate and Vitamin K2 seminars will highlight concepts on Quatrefolic® as the 4th generation folate, the potential concern of folic acid and UMFA, focusing on Quatrefolic® for pregnancy and fertility support.
Folate, a ubiquitous essential vitamin
Folate plays an essential role in cell division and DNA synthesis and is involved in human growth and development. For women, this deficiency can cause health issues.
Unfortunately, people are not always informed of the differences in the folate form.
The folic acid that is found mostly in vitamin supplements and fortified food is a synthetic folate form, which is not part of food folates. To exert its biological action, it must be converted to the metabolically active form, the 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), through a multi-steps enzymatic reaction pathway.
This multi-steps conversion can be not 100% effective in some people, due to a specific genetic trait of them, with a polymorphic form of the enzymes involved in particular methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR).
Moreover, several studies have reported an increase in serum of UnMetabolized Folic Acid (UMFA) levels since the implementation of folic acid fortification, with possible concern about its potential ‘overdosing’ and adverse effects.
During this seminar, the speaker will define the most important differences in the metabolism and human advantages to use Quatrefolic®, already providing the 5-MTHF form without any metabolization needed, instead of folic acid.
MenaQ7®, vitaMK7® and Emothion®, the preferred choice trusted by professionals
During the second half of the seminar, Gnosis by Lesaffre will focus on the role and importance of vitamin K2 on bone and cardiovascular health, and the benefits and applications of reduced glutathione in our bodies.
Quatrefolic®, the biological form of folate as 5-MTHF that supports every stage in life
In addition to pregnancy and fertility health, the webinar will offer opportunities to explore how Quatrefolic® can support Elderly, Cardiovascular, Menopausal, and Mood Health.
