Gnosis by Lesaffre Showcases Quatrefolic® at Vital Nutrient Symposium
Gnosis by Lesaffre is proud to have been one of the organizers of the Vital Nutrient Symposium, where Quatrefolic® was showcased as a key ally for women’s health at every stage of life. Our experts, Emilie Puppinck, Senior Biotic Product Manager, and Lacey Hall, Director of Global Medical Affairs, shed light on various aspects of women’s health—ranging from fertility and pregnancy to menopause.
Folate and homocysteine levels are crucial for human reproduction, with deficiencies often associated with fertility problems in both men and women. Low folate levels, frequently linked to MTHFR enzyme polymorphism, can impair reproductive function and raise the risk of miscarriage.
Quatrefolic® bypasses MTHFR enzyme metabolism, ensuring optimal folate levels, regulating homocysteine, and supporting healthy pregnancies.
Adequate folate intake is essential for a healthy pregnancy, playing a key role in fetal development through cell growth and DNA repair, and helping prevent birth defects. During pregnancy, the body’s demand for folate increases significantly, making supplementation crucial.
Quatrefolic®, the bioactive form of folate, is ready for immediate absorption and use by the body, bypassing metabolic steps to provide optimal support and health benefits for both mothers and babies.
Folate is also highly beneficial for women in menopause, a transformative phase of life often accompanied by challenging mental, and physical symptoms. Quatrefolic® supplementation offers important support during this stage by helping to normalize homocysteine levels, alleviate hot flashes, and enhance overall health and well-being as women age.
