Shaping nutrition for optimal sports performance
An example of a growing market is that demand for sports nutrition is rising as comprehension improves as to the value of nutrition among athletes and gym professionals. This is especially true of markets in China, India and Italy.
Today, functional foods and beverages that contain ingredients such proteins, vitamins, amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids to help attain peak performance are readily available. Along with these ingredients, minerals and herbs are being used in functional beverages to help keep blood sugar levels at optimal levels is another fast-emerging market.
Cosimo Palumbo, the Marketing Director for IDENA S.p.A., says that they continue participate in Vitafoods Asia because, “although we have been participating since the very first few editions, lately we’ve found that the show has grown both in number and quality of exhibitors, visitors, and scientific program. We expect the same high quality also this year and onward.”
“This year, IDENA is leveraging the New Products Zone at Vitafoods Asia to launch two new products. Firstly, VazguardTM, a Bergamot Phytosome®, which uses a highly standardized bergamot polyphenols fraction that is formulated to optimize the biological absorption of bergamot polyphenols. VazguardTM is safe and effective for the reduction of cardiovascular risk by modulating total cholesterol (tChol), low-density Lipoproteins (LDL), high-density Lipoproteins (HDL), tryglicerides (TG) and blood glucose.
The other product is QuercefitTM, a new natural boost for sports nutrition. Generally, there is poor availability of quercetin, and so we are offering quercetin with the Phytosome® delivery system, which helps to improve plasmatic levels of this natural botanical active. This was proven in a pharmacokinetic study in humans. At Vitafoods Asia, we will put forward the clinical data available that demonstrates evidence of activity in conditions characterized by an abnormal oxidative stress like intensive training, improving an athlete’s performance and aiding in recovery.”
Ingredient innovations that are driving the future of the industry are featured in production demonstration display areas and new functional food and drinks can be sampled at the Tasting Centre.
