Past Event | Innovate Solution In Food Supplements For Preventive Healthcare

With the Asia-Pacific dietary supplement consumer market steadily on the rise, we were delighted to welcome our speakers to discuss this growing market and what role the future holds for food supplements companies in the ever increasing trend of healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.

Special thanks to our speakers, Thierry Foucher from Ingredia,  Camille Alnet from Nexira and Prof Maleena Suppiah Cavert from National University Health System, who shared their expertise with our members to better understand this hot topic. Thank you to Barbara Guerpillon, Co president of the Agri Food Innovation committee for skilfully moderating the dialogue.

Here are the Key Takeaways from an interactive session on the role food supplements can play in preventive medicine:

• If awareness and education are obvious levers, affordability and availability are key to a healthy lifestyle
• With a rapidly ageing population in Asia, consumers understand the need for preventive measures to reduce risks of chronic diseases and the role food supplements can play in those preventive measures
• Safety and guarantee of products are paramount for consumers
• Harmonisation of claims and allegations are needed in Asia
