This is Yolanda van Hal Nutrition Insight.
I'm here with Stephanie Guinia and Marian Ortega from Monzololacew Nutra, and we're at Witi Foods 2026 in Barcelona.
Thank you both for joining me today.
And I heard that yesterday you won your, the category weight management for metabolate, so congratulations to you both.
Thank you.
And I'm really curious if you can talk a bit about what makes these ingredients stand out in visible metabolic health and body composition.
Yeah, thank you very much, Yolanda, for the interview.
Actually, first of all, thank you very much for talking about the recognition that we received yesterday.
We're very happy because a lot of work done focused on innovation and a lot of clinical studies behind supporting that product.
It's a great recognition and we're very happy about it.
And about the, the visible health platform, this is a new strategy you are showcasing in Vita Foods, because a lot of promises out there, the consumers are reading labels, the consumers would like to have and it's a fact they would like to have, results that are visible.
The signs that you can see and feel this is the slogan from our strategy so with mechapolate all the results we are obtaining from the clinical studies and the perception for our customers saying that they are really really happy with.
What they are receiving, from, from the product.
So, we have the visible health platform as an umbrella, then we have three pillars, visible metabolic health in which metabolite is the anchor for that in which we are not gonna have only metabolite but also the expansion of it.
So you are, we, we need to, to tell that we are working on the what is coming next with the, with the weight management, category, let's say.
And then visible has a balance and then a visible radiance in which we are showcasing inner beauty as.
Awesome, and, one of those inner beauty products is Nutrixon Nutroxon 365, and I'm curious, can you talk a bit about how it supports collagen, skin resilience, and how it aligns with like beauty from within trends, which is another theme that we see a lot of here at Hobos.
First of all, it's because we saw the last year in a pre-clinical study how Nutrop sand.
365 was able to preserve the collagen per se.
It's unknown about all the coal ingredients that you can find.
What we saw with this ingredient is that how it's able through different mechanism of action that could be metanoproteins, collagen, elastin, all those kind of enzyme around working with through it with this ingredient.
So how it's able to support the structure.
OK, awesome.
And another beautiful vine ingredient that I want to talk about is elizada for scalp scalp health.
Can you explain how it improves hydration and barrier function to support healthier hair?
I think it's quite similar to neutroxan that we, we saw.
It's all about all the mechanisms of action that we've proved through the pre-clinical and clinical studies.
It's not only about the benefits, as I said before.
We know what is the benefit, the visible thing that people can feel it at all, but how it's improved right is that hydrotation is basically through the transepidelma water loss.
It's the one of the main things just to support the hydrotation, the scalp condition.
That is quite related with the finally with the visible hair quality that you're gonna have at the end of the day.
OK.
And, Stephanie, you already mentioned the visible health platform, here at the show.
So how does that ensure that those types of ingredients like neutralsome, 36 Elizaa, etc.
That they provide visible consumer perceivable results, which you mentioned already is very important.
Yeah, as I said before, we're beyond promises, and this is, coming from our evidence, the science that we have behind, yeah, we're attending to consumer needs, to the demand of the consumer.
They would like to have, they, it's a fact that they, they, they need to have, results on their skin, on hair, and not about, you know, promises that we cannot breach.
So that's why we are positioning in that sense.
Yeah, oh, awesome.
And, with a growing demand for beautiful moving, products and ingredients, how are you positioning yourself to lead in that market?
So what's, what's next for for each other?
For the visible radiating platform we have right now like a 3 ingredients per se.
We try to cover the 360 weight of all the benefits that the market is not the market the consumer I'm looking for.
From one side we have, I would say is the huge market right now in the beautiful wein category that is hair condition.
We have Elizara, and what is next for these ingredients, not just scal is also to translate all this benefit on the scalp condition to hair quality at all.
So we are presenting in this show some preliminary results to see how this ingredient could support the hair density, hair loss, and hair vitality, but all we have neutral sand.
It used to be known as a photo aging ingredient, but it's not only about the sand, how it can affect your aging process.
So there is more than one external factor.
So we are just focusing on the structural beauty.
And how is the sun?
It's not just how it's reflected in your skin.
And the third, that is another ingredient that we have in this category is eternal ya because it's not only the external factor.
We also have our aging of internal processes, and we are targeting in this case, the something that is quite trending right now in the market, the longevity sector.
So we are targeting the telomeres in those cases, focus on the skin just to shortening or delaying the shortening of them.
To have another anti-aging ingredient, focus on beauty.
Awesome, thank you both so much.
