Why LAC's Acquisition of MASQUELIER'S Changes the Future of Asian Wellness

Longevity isn't just about adding years to your life; it is about adding life to your years.

That simple philosophy sits at the heart of a massive shake-up in the global supplement industry as V3 Group’s wellness arm, LAC, officially acquires the legendary MASQUELIER’S® French Pine Bark Extract.

This isn't just a corporate handover of a trusted brand. By absorbing MASQUELIER’S®, LAC is fusing seven decades of European nutritional science with a powerhouse Asian retail platform, setting a new gold standard for preventive health across the globe.

A Masterclass in Scientific Heritage

Rooted in the groundbreaking research of French scientist Professor Jack Masquelier, a true pioneer in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), MASQUELIER’S® brings serious scientific weight to the table. Backed by decades of clinical studies and proprietary extraction expertise, the brand’s flagship creation, Anthogenol, has quietly sold over 250 million tablets across the Asia Pacific.

By bringing this intellectual property entirely under its roof, LAC is securing a foundational pillar of antioxidant science. It gives the Singapore-born brand an unmatched edge in delivering science-backed wellness solutions to an increasingly health-conscious global consumer base.

Fueling a Massive Regional Footprint

V3 Group Founder and Executive Chairman Ron Sim recognizes the massive shift in consumer priorities worldwide. People are living longer, and the demand for preventive, everyday wellness solutions is skyrocketing.

LAC is answering that call by aggressively scaling its reach. Building on nearly three decades of steady growth, the brand already commands a formidable presence:

Direct Retail Network: More than 250 brick-and-mortar stores spanning Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam.

Franchise Reach: Established operations extending deep into Mongolia, India, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Global Horizons: A booming e-commerce infrastructure alongside emerging distribution footprints across Africa, the Middle East, and South America.

What Comes Next for Global Wellness

With aging populations and rising wellness expenditures reshaping markets, LAC is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between historic European formulation science and modern Asian distribution power. Backed by V3 Group's strategic capital and operational muscle, LAC is moving full steam ahead—deepening its roots in home markets while aggressively carving out new territory worldwide.

The message is clear: the next generation of global wellness brands isn't just arriving from the West. They are being built right here in Asia, designed for the world, and backed by science that stands the test of time.
