Botanicals in Energy Fueling Foods: A View into the Science Behind the Claims

Could mangosteens be the next superfruit, with the qualities of an anti-histamine, anti-aging ointment, antibiotic, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory? Natural Products Insider reported that the success of pomegranate suggests we are just at the beginning of a period in which fruit products might be about to rival dairy products as the drivers of innovation and sales growth in the global nutrition business.

 This webcast examines whether the science supports the claims and covers the FDA's perspective, the need to fulfill the consumer’s desire for a healthy lifestyle, and the recent surge of botanicals in energy fueling foods on the market place.

  • The FDA stance and its impact on consumers and industry 
  • The challenges of product development for consumers who are searching for ways to live a healthier lifestyle
  • The current research in botanical authentication
