Demand for immunity-boosting products is high among consumers across the developed – and, increasingly, in the developing – world. In its 10-episode webinar series, William Reed Publishers’ global digital publication NutraIngredients aggregates leading experts in this rapidly expanding agrifood sector to assess the existing scientific evidence, scope for new product development, opportunities for clinical research, and marketing and regulatory challenges across various regions.
According to Nutralngredients’ Gary Scattergood, “Immunity has been the hottest topic for supplement firms and suppliers in APAC this year, with heightened interest from consumers leading to sales of finished products soaring.
“Our immunity series will assess the opportunities for future studies and new product development across Asia-Pacific, spanning the microbiome, botanicals, active nutrition and clinical research, in order to meet this demand in an effective and responsible manner.”
The global series ran from 4 to 25 May, with specific broadcasts for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, North America and the Europe, ahd the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). All are now available on demand to those who register (even after the fact).
