Aker BioMarine brings Vitality Month to Latin America

Aker BioMarine is extending its Vitality Month 2026 program into Latin America, starting Sept. 15 in Buenos Aires with an event focused on GLP-1 drugs, weight management and nutrition. The series aims to connect industry experts on how science and innovative ingredients can support healthier, more active lifestyles.

Why it matters: - GLP-1 medications are reshaping the weight-management market and pushing nutrition brands to rethink products for metabolic health, muscle preservation and active aging. - The Latin America program extends Aker BioMarine’s Vitality Month beyond Europe and into another major region for supplement and ingredient development. - The events are meant to showcase where science, market needs and ingredient innovation overlap.

What happened: - Aker BioMarine is continuing Vitality Month 2026 in Latin America after running events across Europe. - The Latin American series begins Sept. 15 in Buenos Aires at Croque Madame in Puerto Madero. - The opening event is titled “The New Generation of Dietary Supplements in the Age of the GLP-1 Phenomenon.” - Aker BioMarine is hosting the event with Nutrimaging. - Registration is open for the Latin America Vitality Month 2026 events.

Between the lines: - The program positions Aker BioMarine’s krill and omega-3 ingredients inside a broader nutrition conversation rather than as a single-ingredient pitch. - The emphasis on GLP-1 suggests the company sees demand shifting from simple weight loss toward products that support satiety, muscle retention and long-term wellness. - By pairing science-focused talks with industry networking, Aker BioMarine is trying to build relevance with formulators, brands and channel partners in Latin America.

What's next: - The Buenos Aires event is the first stop in the Latin America series. - Aker BioMarine is expected to share more speaker, agenda and city information as the regional program continues. - The company will use the Latin America events to keep building the conversation around weight management, active nutrition and healthy aging.
