The food supplement and dietary product markets are constantly growing, continuing their progression. In 2018, sales of food supplements in France increased by 1,3%, reaching the €2 billion mark. The pharmacy network, the historical channel, accounts for half of sales, far ahead of other distribution channels (direct sales and online sales 18%, organic and health food stores 15%, supermarkets 11%).
In search of well-being and concerned about their health, consumers feel convinced by these products that complement a healthy lifestyle: nearly one in two French people have already consumed dietary supplements. In this market, the share of organic products continues to grow, responding to a growing demand for natural ingredients.
The exhibitors present at Natexpo Lyon will have the opportunity to present their new products, particularly in the three most popular sectors: stress/sleep, digestion/transit and joints.
Natexpo: new manufacturers to discover
Around a hundred dietary supplement exhibitors will be present at this second edition of Natexpo in Lyon, to showcase their products and new products. Specialists in plant extracts, vitamins, and other natural sources of nutrients, these companies strive to formulate products that meet multiple needs: improved transit, stress management, joint health, vitality, circulation, immune defenses, and skin beauty.
Passionate about the marine world and holder of the first French patent on food supplements for his Oceanic Serum, the Biothalassol Laboratory uses the incredible richness of the sea to offer targeted food supplements (algae extracts, omega 3, etc.). The first structure to have imported blond psyllium into France in 2007, Nature and Sharing has since considerably expanded its range. It notably offers a wide range of detox products as well as various food supplements (acerola, ashwagandha, moringa, etc.).
Specializing in products designed to combat the causes of aging, The Inolab Laboratory formulates food supplements resulting from independent clinical studies and without controversial additives (titanium dioxide, polysorbate 80, etc.).
Stress and sleep: a major problem
Stress and sleep problems affect a large number of people. It is estimated that one in three French people suffer from sleep disorders. One of the causes: stress, whose detrimental effects on general health are now well known. Dietary supplements that address these issues are among the most sought-after.
New from LT Lab presented at the Natexpo Trophies, Organic Dormaline is a dietary supplement providing tryptophan (from organic sunflower seeds), a precursor to melatonin, the hormone secreted in the evening by the body, which plays an essential role in regulating sleep/wake cycles. The formula, supplemented with saffron and spirulina, promotes the rebalancing of the circadian rhythm without the side effects sometimes caused by an intake of exogenous melatonin.
Intestinal comfort: how to improve it?
Transit and digestion are among the other strong indications in the food supplement and dietetics market. From psyllium to combinations of plant extracts, food supplements effectively help relieve sluggish and irritable bowels.
