A rising number of consumers are making the link between mobility, overall health and quality of life. Some people are even making a connection between mobility and emotional wellbeing. What’s more, consumers are increasingly seeking solutions which bring together ingredients that support all mobility-related aspects, like bone,joint, tendon and muscle health. Register for the webinar and explore the opportunity to innovate in the mobility and joint areas.

During a webcast of ingredients discovery sessions, we zoom in the plant-based trend to show how some of the biggest NPD challenges can be resolved. There is rapid growth in plant-based consumerism. We see that more consumers globally incorporate plant-based ingredients in their diet. This trend has been pushing the market growth and opening new opportunities for more natural products. Going hand in hand with the plant-based trend is immunity. Plant-based products launching with an immunity claim are up significantly in 2020 and there is no sign of slowing down.

The question is how do you meet consumer demand and formulate an all-in one plant-based formula with immunity claims? What range of ingredients are consumers looking for?

Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are globally still prevalent in infants. Around 50% of the infant have ID and around 25% IDA. Growth and development of the central nervous system is rapid during the first year of life and iron is critical for this process.  Absorption of non-hem iron from breast milk is usually assumed to be up to 50%, while absorption from infant formula and iron-fortified foods is usually assumed to be approximately 10%¹. Multiple studies in adults and infants have shown that iron Bisglycinate chelate can be a superior form of iron in terms of efficacy and tolerability.

Join us to learn why the form of iron used in infant formula or supplements matters and what the latest science says about the most effective and best tolerated form of iron.
