INTRODUCTION • Over the last few years, there is a new approach towards having better health, emphasising on diet and nutrition. • An increase in health-conscious population with income has caused a shift towards the purchase and consumption of dietary supplements, functional foods and nutraceuticals to maintain optimum health and prevent negative health consequences. • Nutraceuticals are relatively a new concept and the term ‘nutraceutical’ refers to nutritive supplement-like products that offer nutritional value and health benefits, like preventing cardiovascular diseases, maintaining joint health and skin health. • They are marketed as pharmaceutical products, in the form of tablets, powders, gummies and capsules
The nutraceutical market is a multi-billion-dollar industry and is expected to grow tremendously over the next few years. • The rise could be attributed to increased consumer awareness about the health benefits, lifestyle choices, ageing population and better marketing strategies.
Trends shaping the nutraceutical Industry The following types of nutraceuticals are gaining more attention recently, giving rise to the following trends:
01 HERBAL AND BOTANICAL NUTRACEUTICALS • Herbs and botanicals account for 19% of total dietary supplement sales and can meet the growing demand for specific components. • Among the various herbal ingredients, Ashwagandha and elderberry are the most trending ones. • Another most popular ingredient is mushroom, which has gained popularity since 2018 as a nutraceutical ingredient.
02 NUTRACEUTICALS FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH • There has been an interest in gender-specific supplements, and consumers have been purchasing supplements that enhance their beauty, combat ageing and contribute to better health. • While younger women want to prevent signs of ageing, baby boomers want to increase hydration, fine lines and wrinkles.
03 SPORTS NUTRITION • Sports nutrition was the world’s fastest growing category in dietary supplements, whose sales were increased by 9.7% in 2022. • The most popular categories in sports nutrition that have become popular include hydration and replenishment supplements.
04 BLOOD SUGAR MANAGEMENT • Consumers are showing an inclination towards nutraceuticals as adjunct to manage diabetes. • Berberine, a bioactive compound found in medicinal plants like European barberry, goldenseal and tree turmeric helps in maintaining blood glucose levels and offers metabolic support.
NUTRACEUTICALS FOR GUT HEALTH 05 • With increasing consumer awareness about the gut contributing to overall well-being, consumers opt for nutraceuticals contributing to a better gut health. • As science reveals more about how the microbiome affects so many elements of human health, this is likely to be a developing sector in the coming years[1].
Conclusion • Nutraceuticals, a relatively new concept consisting of products offering nutritional value and health benefits, are available in various forms like tablets, powders, and capsules. • The increasing multibillion-dollar nutraceutical industry is powered by increased consumer awareness, lifestyle preferences, an aging population, and sophisticated marketing methods, and it is expected to develop at an exponential rate in the future. • The emergent trends in nutraceutical industry include herbal supplements, gender-specific health solutions, sports nutrition and nutraceuticals for blood sugar management and gut health.
