Dsm-firmenich Korea presented the results of a scientific study on the possibility of extending the healthy longevity of omega-3 and vitamin D at the Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition (KFN) 2025 international symposium and regular academic conferences and regular general meetings on the 30th.
The Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition is an academic organization representing food science and nutrition research in Korea, and about 2,000 people from academia, industry, and research institutes participate every year. This year's conference was held in BEXCO, Busan, from Oct. 29-31, under the theme of "Turning Point of a New Era: Food and Nutrition for Integrated Health."
Professor Son Bo-kyung of Dong-A University participated in the DSM Permanente sponsorship session held on the 30th, and the speaker was ▲ Professor Park Yong-soon of Hanyang University ▲ Dr. Kai-Lin Ek, general director of academic research at DSM Permanente APAC ▲ Kim Byung-yong, head of the Chong Kun Dang Health Research Institute. The three speakers presented their presentations on the topic of prevention of senescence and sarcopenia through ▲Omega-3 fatty acids, respectively, and the latest findings of the ▲DO-HEALTH study on the health effects and sustainable production techniques of ▲Omega-3 fatty acids.
Dr. Keirin Ek, Director of Academic Research at DSMPFermenish APAC, introduced the correlation between 'biological aging' and omega-3 based on the results of the world's largest aging clinical study 'DO-HEALTH'. It explains the processes in which major mechanisms of aging interact, such as biological characteristics of aging, cellular aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and intestinal microbial imbalance, and emphasized that 'chronic low-grade inflammation' is a modifiable hallmark that promotes aging.
We also shared a 3-year randomized placebo-controlled clinical finding in 2,157 European adults over 70 years of age, and provided evidence that the risk of preliminary senescence was reduced by up to 39% when vitamin D3 (2,000 IU/day) and omega-3 (1g/day) intake were combined with regular exercise. He then explained that "aging is not an inevitable phenomenon but a scientifically controllable biological process" and that "Omega-3 fatty acids are key nutrients that can contribute to slowing aging and extending healthy Longevity by alleviating the inflammatory response.".
DSM Permanente's signature plant-based omega-3 solution 'Life's®OMEGA' is a microalgae-based 100% plant-based omega-3 raw material that began with NASA's space-style research and is widely used to develop various omega-3 products such as improving blood neutral lipids, blood circulation, and memory.
In this presentation, the possibility of utilizing new scientific indicators to quantify the rate of aging, such as 'Biologic Aging Clock', was also discussed. This approach is expected to contribute to increasing the scientific precision of future nutritional solution-based healthy life studies.
Jung Eun-ji, CEO of DSM Permanente Korea, said, "'Healthy Aging' is a task that goes beyond the quality of life of individuals and is also directly connected to social sustainability at a time when rapid aging affects the overall social structure.'"DSM Permanente will take the lead in extending healthy life expectancy and improving wellness by introducing products suitable for Korean consumers through collaboration with domestic manufacturers based on sustainable nutrition solutions that combine global clinical data and scientific innovation."
