(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 18, 2017 ) Dietary supplements come in various forms and may contain different nutrients such as vitamins, dietary minerals, amino acids, proteins and essential fatty acids. Wellness supplements are defined by the Federal Drug Administration as products which are not considered under pharmaceutical drugs, food additives or conventional food and which is intended to supplement a person’s diet.
Supplements should not be used for the treatment of any disease or its prevention with the exception being vitamins that can be administered in appropriate quantities by trained medical personnel. Bodybuilding supplements are a special category under wellness supplements commonly used by athletes. The most dominant company producing wellness supplements cannot be mentioned as there is no single distinct leader in the wellness supplements market as each product segment is dominated by a different player.
The rise of the wellness supplements market in the Europe region is driven by the increasing focus on healthy lifestyles, the increase in the disposable income and the rising awareness about wellness products. Current trends also show a shift in the trend from disease care to preventive healthcare. All these factors along with the increasing population drive the wellness supplements market forward. As for the restraints of the market, the lack of distinction from traditional food categories and the ever-changing regulatory policies are the major factors limiting the growth of the market. The high prices of the supplements also do not help the cause.
