1. Supplement Market Growth
-----------------------------------------------

From NutraIngredients.com –

“The French food supplement market is enjoying heavy growth. Between 2000 and 2006, consumption of supplements doubled in France and should double again by 2012, according to Synadiet (National Dietetic Syndicate). This consumption is accompanied by an increase in self-medication across France.
With this heavy growth, French consumers are catching up with their European neighbors who are traditionally heavier consumers of supplements. To understand this boom, we should recall the generalization of the Health/Naturalness trend with a search for healthier lifestyles and a return to essential values. The reasoning is for a healthier lifestyle that includes prevention, a balanced diet, and a search for authenticity and naturalness in the products people consume. In fact, natural products are one of the five drivers of the European food supplements market and their consumers perceive them as safe and healthy.”

2. Bridging the Benefit – Ingredient Knowledge Gap
-----------------------------------------------

Another interesting article from Nutraingredients:

“Companies need to do more to link health benefits and those particular ingredients that deliver them to capitalise on consumer interest, according to research… [polling] consumers …found that while they were highly interested in brands that carried health benefits, they often failed to understand which ingredients delivered those benefits, nor how. Bone, heart and digestive health were the top three health concerns… In each case the health benefit was more important than the ingredient.
