Healthy ageing tops nutraceutical agenda

Healthy ageing is the single most important health category in the global nutraceutical market, finds a recent survey.

Conducted for the Vitafoods Europe Conference 2016, researchers asked a sample of visitors who attended last year’s Vitafoods Europe which health categories were of most interest to them. Healthy ageing was selected by more than a quarter of respondents (26%), followed by digestive health (23%), cardiovascular health (22%) and weight management (21%).

Reflecting their importance, there will be a major focus on all four of these topics in dedicated sessions at this year’s Vitafoods Europe Conference (10-11 May 2016). Particularly exciting is the news that the conference will offer delegates a chance to hear the latest results from a series of major EU funded nutrition projects exploring three of these areas: weight management, heart health and healthy ageing.

Chris Lee, Vitafoods portfolio director, comments, “The Vitafoods Europe Conference programme for 2016 mirrors the top priorities among our visitors. We assembled a panel of experts from both industry and academia to help us identify the best possible speakers for the event. The result of this approach is an excellent line up that is our strongest ever, with a clear focus on applied science, business growth strategies, quality assurance and regulation that is sure to help delegates meet their business challenges.”

The Vitafoods Europe Conference will run alongside the first two days of the Vitafoods Europe exhibition at Palexpo, Geneva (on 10 and 11 May 2016). Over the course of the two-day conference, delegates will be able to take their pick from a total of 45 presentations and expert panel discussions delivered by speakers from 13 countries.
