(Food-Beverage-News.Com, September 16, 2017 ) Wellness supplements market are substances that you eat or drink and contain vitamins, minerals, herbs or other plants, amino acids or parts of these substances with the intention of providing the human body with nutrition to supplement a balanced diet. They can come in various forms including pills, capsules, tablets or in liquid form. They only serve as a supplement for the diet and should not be considered as a substitute.
Inspite of their health benefits, they also pose a significant threat to your heath if consumed in excessive quantities. Like conventional medicines, dietary supplements also cause side effects in some cases or may trigger allergic reactions. Some common examples include, use of calcium and vitamin D supplements for stronger bones and use of folic acid supplements by pregnant women to prevent birth defects.
Factors driving the growth of the wellness supplements market in this region include rising geriatric population, include growing incidence of chronic diseases and increasing focus of consumers towards healthy lifestyles. The high demand for dermo-cosmetic products in the region is another driver for the market. The high number of diabetics and lactose intolerant patients also form a niche market that drives the industry. Inspite of being a financially rich region, the excessive costs of the products still put most high-end wellness products beyond the reach of the normal man. This along with the numerous protocols regarding manufacture of wellness supplements is expected to restrain the market.
