Health and Beauty Innovations in F&B through MenaQ7® and Emothion®

On November 6, 2024, the Mercure Hotel Jakarta Pantai Indah Kapuk hosted a groundbreaking seminar focused on the future of the healthy F&B sector, particularly in beauty and wellness. The seminar, titled “MenaQ7® & Emothion®: Future Trends in Food and Beverage Beauty & Wellness Solutions,” was organized by Bahtera’s Food & Beverage Business Unit in collaboration with Gnosis. This power-packed event featured industry experts Clarisse Geraci and Marco Atanassi from Gnosis, who each shared insights on their breakthrough products, Emothion® and MenaQ7®. Together, they set out to bridge the gap between growing wellness trends and the F&B industry.

Riding the Wave of Beauty and Wellness in F&B

With more people jumping on the wellness bandwagon, the F&B industry is rolling up its sleeves to meet the demand for products that don’t just taste good but also support health and beauty. This seminar highlighted Emothion® and MenaQ7® as forward-thinking solutions in healthy F&B, showing how wellness can start from within and radiate outward.

These two products cater to consumers who take a holistic view of beauty and wellness, offering fresh ways to make healthy habits part of daily life. Emothion® and MenaQ7® are ready to step into the limelight as must-haves in the healthy F&B space, showing how food and drink can be both delicious and a boost to beauty and health.

Key Highlights and Speakers

Two key speakers took the stage to give the lowdown on how Emothion® and MenaQ7® are set to shake up the healthy F&B scene:

Emothion®: The Next Level in Glutathione Support

Clarisse Geraci introduced Emothion® as a “level-up” for glutathione. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill antioxidant; Emothion®’s crystalline, patented S-acetyl-glutathione is easy for the body to absorb and acts as a powerhouse for wellness from the inside out. It provides direct support to skin health, brain function, and even liver wellness. 

Emothion® shines in products like collagen drinks and beauty jellies, giving F&B manufacturers a versatile option to elevate their wellness offerings.

MenaQ7®: A Game-Changer for Bone and Heart Health

Marco Atanassi introduced MenaQ7® as a clinically proven form of Vitamin K2, which is essential for regulating calcium distribution in the body. MenaQ7® supports calcium absorption into the bones and helps prevent unwanted calcium buildup. Its ability to address the "calcium paradox" makes MenaQ7® a leading solution for both bone and cardiovascular health.

MenaQ7® is designed to be versatile across various F&B products, from dairy to protein-based foods and gummy supplements. With its many benefits, MenaQ7® offers a new way for the F&B industry to meet consumer demand for products that support bone and heart health.

Engaged Attendees and Active Participation

The seminar drew around 50 attendees, mostly Bahtera F&B customers and professionals in the industry, who were all ears when it came to learning about healthy food & beverage innovations. Their enthusiasm was clear during the interactive Q&A session, where questions flew thick and fast as they explored both the technical and practical aspects of the showcased products.

The discussions carried on after the Q&A, with attendees eagerly engaging in a mingle session to dig deeper into Emothion® and MenaQ7®’s potential. The energy in the room made it crystal clear that these products struck a chord with the crowd.

Hands-On Taste of Emothion® and MenaQ7® Prototypes

A highlight of the seminar was the hands-on tasting session, allowing attendees to sample prototypes featuring Emotion® and MenaQ7®. This firsthand experience gave them a taste—both literally and figuratively—of how these ingredients can be woven into diverse F&B offerings.

Bahtera’s R&D team added value to the experience by breaking down each prototype’s formulation and benefits. Emothion®, showcased in collagen drinks and beauty jellies, exhibited its antioxidant prowess, while MenaQ7® made a splash in fresh milk and protein shakes, underscoring its value in supporting bone and cardiovascular health. This session allowed attendees to see the bigger picture of how these products could align with consumer desires for wellness-focused F&B options.

As consumers seek out products that support both physical wellness and natural beauty, Emothion® and MenaQ7® stand out as star players in meeting the demand. They not only provide crucial health benefits but also offer a fresh approach to beauty-from-within, reflecting the trend toward holistic self-care.

This seminar has opened new opportunities for collaboration and innovative product development within the F&B industry.
