Overview:
Today, consumers are taking a more proactive approach to managing their health and the prevention of diet-related diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and bone and joint diseases. Many of these diseases are at epidemic levels, and this combined with increasing patient power makes the prevention of these lifestyle diseases attractive markets for both the food and pharmaceutical industries to exploit. Next-Generation Nutraceuticals is a new report published by Business Insights that provides analysis of how the food and pharmaceutical industries are becoming more aligned in their approach to consumer health. This report assesses the changing regulatory landscape in addition to how the strategies of leading ingredients, food, drinks and pharmaceutical companies are evolving in the new consumer health marketplace. Understand how food and drinks manufacturers are applying genomic and proteomic technologies that are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry in order to create increasingly sophisticated functional food products with this new report.
