Organiser’s message
Dr Monica Bhatia, managing director, CIMS Medica India and Middle-East, said, “Globally, nutraceuticals are gaining prominence and becoming a part of the average consumer's daily diet.”
“In India, the market for dietary supplements, sports nutrition products, food beverages, and weight loss products that are broadly clubbed in nutraceuticals is beginning to pick up speed since Indians are becoming conscious about their health and external appearance,” she added.
“Furthermore, with the increase in life expectancy and subsequent increase in lifestyle diseases, nutraceuticals have emerged as a necessity for consumers,” Dr Bhatia said.
“In developing nations such as India, mortality due to nutrition-related factors is nearly 40 per cent, underscoring the need for nutraceutical products to balance the nutritional intake of the individual. The trend towards preventive healthcare has been noticed by pharmaceutical companies, which have diversified into the production of nutraceuticals,” she added.
Besides associations such as HADSA, AHPI and AFSTI, the media has partnered with this event, which has witnessed the participation of such companies as GSK, Dabur, Nestle India, Abbott Nutrition, Influx Healthcare, Saffron Formulations, Roseate Medicare, Mits Healthcare, 4care Lifescience, Aimil Pharmaceuticals, Tsar Health, Danone India, Sanger Genomics, G M Nutrition, Aero-Chem Neutron, Sundyota Numandis, Nysa Lifesciences, Vrihaan Pharmaceuticals, Deccan Healthcare, Walpar Healthcare, etc.
