Supplementing a healthier life
Sometimes the human body needs a little extra boost — whether it’s to improve digestive health or bone protection; to enhance immunity; or to address joint and liver health or women’s health. Gnosis by Lesaffre, our business unit, strives to create a world that moves better, digests better, ages better, feels better and, ultimately, lives better thanks to microorganisms and biotransformation. We harness the power of microorganisms and biotransformation processes such as fermentation to create nutritional actives, probiotics, and nutritional and functional yeasts that benefit human health and wellbeing.
Microorganisms are invisible agents of change, facilitating our mobility, protecting us from disease and helping us adapt to our ever-changing environment. These naturally-occurring bioactive nutrients contribute significantly to health when consumed to support the daily diet. Highly concentrated pure ingredients, live probiotics and nutrient-rich yeasts can also be great natural additions to increase the benefits of functional foods.
