A noticeable population is moving towards a cruelty-free and vegan world. For those who make and sell CPG products, finding alternatives that suit the preferences and demands of these consumers is paramount. Increasingly, manufacturers are finding the answer in algae.

In the nutrition industry, algae protein provides health benefits while contributing toward a sustainable environment and reducing carbon footprints. Products like dietary supplements, cosmetics, and beverages all use algae ingredients today. The algae-based product market is picking up pace among formulators, creating products for everyone from athletes to the elderly population.

Different types of algae ingredients are sold in a variety of forms, such as powders (mixed in juices), tablets, or softgel capsules. These ingredients, which contain valuable protein, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids, are not only ideal for humans but for animal feed as well.

Application and Consumption of Algae in Asia-Pacific

APAC is one of the leading markets in the world for algae extraction, consumption, and end-product formulation.

China is the largest producer of algae, South Korea stands second, and then comes Japan. Domestic players and suppliers use algae products in different end-applications. Algae products are also exported from APAC to other nations, where the demand is continuously growing.

Lets look at the variety of algae types and their consumption across APAC.

Astaxanthin

Extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis, astaxanthin has extremely powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, and fertility properties. Astaxanthin promises and proves to pose great benefits for immune, heart, brain, and eye health.

Astaxanthin is used extensively in dietary supplements and even sports nutrition products, as well as in snacks, ready-to-eat meals, and beauty supplements. Astaxanthin is sold in a variety of grades and forms, including powder, oil, and cold-water-dispersible powder. Demand for natural sources of astaxanthin is soaring even though cheaper synthetic options are available.

Countries such as China and India are aggressively contributing to the market demand. Due to this, astaxanthin in APAC is predicted to grow at a 12% CAGR by 2025. In terms of astaxanthin production, production is highest in China, and so is the export capability. Overall, astaxanthin consumption is elevated over the entire APAC region, followed by North America.

Fucoxanthin

Fucoxanthin is another popular form of algae that is extracted from brown-green seaweedmost commonly Japanese seaweed. This algae offers diverse functionality and can be categorized as being antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in nature. Fucoxanthin is used primarily in beverages like nutritional drinks and sports drinks, as well as in snacks and even in some personal care sub-categories.

China accounts for nearly half of the regional APAC demand for fucoxanthin, per 2020 statistics, followed by the rest of Asia-Pacific. Fucoxanthin sales are expected to grow at an above-average CAGR by 2025. This will include slight demand in North America but highest growth in APAC.

Spirulina

Spirulina is available in tablet and powder form, providing enriching vitamins, protein, copper, essential amino acids, carotenoids, and iron. It is widely used as a food colorant and dietary supplement.

Spirulina provides a rich green color to smoothies and protein shakes. This kind of algae is great for heart health as it helps in lowering cholesterol while having anti-inflammatory effects. Due to its high vitamin content, spirulina is extensively commercialized for sports nutrition products. Animal feed also contains high amounts of spirulina, making it a strong and soaring market in the coming future.

China is the leading producer and consumer of spirulina, while other high-end consumer populations reside in Australia, Japan, and South Korea. The expected CAGR for spirulina is likely to be in the double digits by 2025, with high chances of rapid growth due to the above-listed benefits by 2028. Countries such as New Zealand, Indonesia, India, and Vietnam, among others, have plausible growth opportunities in spirulina as well.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a type of microalgae used in different forms, both natural or supplemented grades, because of its nutritional properties. This type of algae is used in dietary supplements and food ingredients because of its high protein content. Apart from this, chlorella has antiaging, antioxidant, antihair loss, and anti-dandruff properties.

Fat, carbohydrates, and sodium are the other three top nutrients found in this algae. Drinks such as green smoothies, plant-based mass gainers, protein shakes, etc., contain chlorella, making it a highly sought-after ingredient in the sports nutrition category. The end-products come in a variety of textured profiles, including chewy, softgel, moist, and crunchy products.

Japan and South Korea lead the market share for chlorella-based products in Asia-Pacific, be it in animal feed or human nutrition. China, Australia, Indonesia, and India hold a small yet significant market share; combined, they account for one-third of the entire APAC market alone. The market of chlorella is supposedly going to have a moderate CAGR by 2025.

Future Growth and Market

The market for algae-based products is moving upward with promising momentum. Although algae is quite a phenomenon in Asia-Pacific, slowly and steadily its roots have been spreading to Europe and North America as well.

All over APAC, the production, consumption, and export of algae are on the high end. This is giving a push to novel and veteran players to either join the market or expand their product lines using these algae. The footprint of algae-based products is primed for growth in Asia-Pacific in the coming years.

Algae in Asia-Pacific: What makes APAC one of the leading global markets for algae? - Nutritional Outlook

Collagen is a protein naturally produced by our bodies, as well as in animal products like beef and fish. So what is vegan collagen and are the benefits the same?

In recent years, more and more people have been trying to increase their natural collagen levels through both diet and supplements. Theres a lot of research (opens in new tab) to show that collagen can boost skin health but, as the most abundant protein in the body, it also acts as a connective tissue for your bones, tendons, and muscles.

For most people, your natural collagen levels will begin to decline as you age, which can negatively impact bone and muscle health. Exercise, stretching and collagen supplements are all ways to prevent this. But one of the key ways to boost collagen levels is increase the amount of collagen you obtain in your diet, mostly by eating foods that are high in protein like fish and eggs.

It can therefore be difficult to boost your collagen levels if you follow a plant-based diet. But its not impossible. We spoke to the experts about vegan collagen, to see if these plant-based supplements are really as effective as the real thing.

Collagen is found in animal products, like beef and fish. Dr Ross Perry, doctor and founder of skin surgery Cosmedics (opens in new tab) also explains that its a protein mostly found in hair, skin, nails, bones and ligaments. This means that our bodies naturally produce collagen and so do other animals bodies, which is why eating food items like beef and fish can help boost our collagen production, he says. Collagen is one hundred percent animal based.

So although there are no plant-based food items that naturally contain collagen, there are vegan foods you can incorporate into your diet that might boost collagen production.

According to Dr Perry, there is some research to show that foods that are high in the amino acids glycine, lysine and proline will boost collagen production in the body. Antioxidants like vitamin C are also thought to boost collagen production.

Plant-based food options that are high in the nutrients thought to boost collagen include:

You can also take vegan collagen booster supplements, which contain these nutrients in powder or capsule form. On top of this, scientists are genetically engineering vegan collagen. Recently, scientists have started to produce collagen made from genetically modified yeast and bacteria, whereby a digestive enzyme is then added to match the same structure of human collagen, Dr Perry explains. As these are genetically engineered and no materials are derived from animals or fish, they are considered vegan.

So just how effective is vegan collagen? While the production of genetically engineered collagen is still in its early stages, research (opens in new tab) suggests that it could be promising as one of the strains of bacteria known as streptococcus pyogenes is thought to contain enough collagen to be commercially viable. However, Dr Perry stresses that it is still to be tried and tested and it is not yet readily available.

There is also some evidence to suggest that vegan collagen boosting ingredients could be effective. A 2018 study (opens in new tab) found that vitamin C could increase the production of collagen, accelerate bone healing and reduce levels of free radicals in the body.

If you follow a plant-based diet, Dr Perry advises that the best way to boost your collagen levels is by stimulating the bodys natural collagen synthesis by consuming foods that are high in the nutrients needed for the production of collagen. This includes the ones listed above. He recommends this instead of taking vegan collagen booster supplements, saying: As for vegan collagen boosters as a supplement, my view is not to waste your money as there is little out there to support their effectiveness.

Dermatologist Dr Emma Craythorne agrees: Collagen supplements do not have enough good evidence to say they will build collagen in the skin. At best we can say that it can hydrate the skin.

There are a number of studies to show that the skins hydration can be improved by collagen supplements. Therefore, hypothetically, if the skin is more hydrated then the fibroblasts can produce more products like hyaluronic acids and proteoglycans. However, she stresses that the extent to which these supplements boost collagen production hasnt been tested in these studies.

So is it better to obtain collagen straight from animal products or look for vegan sources? If you follow a healthy diet packed full of nutrients our bodies will create their own collagen and if you follow a vegan diet then this will work much in the same way as following an animal-based diet, Dr Perry advises. So, as long as youre incorporating the right foods into your diet to boost collagen, it doesnt matter whether theyre plant-based or animal-based.

However Dr Craythorne adds: We do know that amino acids are important for wound healing and that vegans dont heal as well after certain cosmetic or medical procedures. But we dont have the evidence to say this could be down to collagen production.

The jury is certainly still out on vegan collagen, as far more research needs to be done around it. However, it certainly seems like theres no harm in incorporating collagen-boosting foods into your diet, for their various health benefits.

Vegan Supplements Market to grow by USD 3.43 billion with 37% of the Contribution from Europe - Technavio - PR Newswire

Magnesium isa mineral in the human bodythat helps it work properly. When our bodies don't get enough magnesium, we often feel the consequences. Magnesium deficiency can contribute to nervousness and fatigue. These symptoms can be a good indicator that we need to increase our magnesium intake. However, magnesium deficiencies are uncommon in generally healthy individuals since you're bound to get enough through your diet.

Besides avoiding magnesium deficiency, there can be benefits to taking some kinds of magnesium supplements, such as treating constipation. Here are a few things you should know about what magnesium does for the body, how to add it to your diet and what differentiates various types of magnesium.

Magnesium is a chemical element present in many foods and an essential building block in the body. But what does magnesium do for the body? Our bodies use magnesium to regulate blood pressure, bone development, muscle and nerve function and to synthesize DNA. While those are some of the most notable functions of magnesium in our bodies, the full importance of this mineral can be hard to overstate.

Understanding what foods have magnesium can go a long way towards helping you ensure that you have enough of this vital mineral. Dairy products tend to be rich in magnesium and are one of many people's primary sources of this mineral. While the exact amounts vary between them, legumes, nuts and seeds are another abundant source of magnesium. Spinach, kale and other leafy greens make up the third group of foods that contain high amounts of magnesium. Including more of these types of food in your diet may help you maintain better health and ward off magnesium deficiencies. Still, in some cases, these foods may not be enough or may not be practical. In those cases, magnesium supplements may be able to fill the gap.

If finding the right foods is challenging, inconvenient, or otherwise problematic, taking magnesium supplements may help you to meet your body's needs for this mineral. Even if you aren't noticing signs of magnesium deficiency, it's important to ensure you are consuming the recommended amounts of magnesium.

Once you decide to include magnesium supplements, you may notice the many options available. These supplements come in various types, mainly differentiated by what is bound to the magnesium or used as a carrier. For instance, magnesium citrate is one of the more common types. This type is made of magnesium bonded to citric acid.

As mentioned, there are many types of magnesium supplements. Some people may have an easier time absorbing some types over others. Depending on what the magnesium is bound to, these supplements may also have different health benefits and potential side effects. For example, most magnesium types have some degree of a laxative effect.

This type is created by binding magnesium and chlorine. Magnesium chloride is thought to be easily absorbed by the digestive tract. While this type can help with magnesium deficiency, it is also used to treatheartburn and other problems caused by excessive stomach acid.

One of the more common magnesium types, magnesium citrate, is believed by some to have superior bioavailability compared to other magnesium supplements. The laxative effect of this type is strong enough that high doses of it are sometimes used to treat constipation.

Magnesium lactate is used for similar purposes as other magnesium supplements. However, it has shown some promise at being gentler on the digestive system than many magnesium types. This type is created by binding magnesium with lactic acid.

Magnesium malate is formed by binding magnesium and malic acid. Some research has pursued the idea thatthis type of magnesium supplement may have high levels of bioavailability but has been inconclusive. Beyond potentially greater bioavailability, another potential perk of this magnesium supplement is that it may have less of a discernible impact on the digestive system. People who experience side effects from other types of magnesium may find this type less problematic.

A combination of magnesium and orotic acid, this type of magnesium has shown promise in several areas. Research has demonstrated the importance of themicrobiome-gut-brain axis, which has to do with a feedback system between aspects of the digestive system and psychological well-being. This research indicates that magnesium orotate may encourage better gut health, which could improve experiences of well-being. The high bioavailability of this magnesium type also makes it helpful in treating magnesium deficiency.

However, this type is thought to have a lower laxative effect than others. As a result, it may not be as helpful in treating constipation.

Formed by combining magnesium with oxygen, this type of magnesium supplement has beenresearched for its potential impacts on type 2 diabetes. Research outcomes have been conflicting, butmagnesium oxide supplements are also used for antacid and laxative properties. This form of magnesium may have lower bioavailability than others and may be less effective for managing a magnesium deficiency.

Also known as Epsom salt, this type combines magnesium with sulfur and oxygen. Somestudies have shown the benefits of using magnesium sulfate to treat symptoms of acute asthma, migraines, depression and anxiety. Some of these studies relied on the intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate. Further research is needed to understand the impacts of magnesium sulfate supplements on these conditions.

Magnesium taurate is made by combining magnesium with the amino acid taurine. Like other magnesium types, this one may sometimes be used to treat magnesium deficiency, excessive stomach acidity, and constipation. Someresearch has shown promising results regarding the potential for magnesium taurate to aid in some cardiovascular treatments. However, this research was not conducted on humans, and further study is needed to see how well the effects translate.

While getting enough magnesium in your diet is important, you want to avoid consuming too much. There are a few potential downsides to magnesium that you may want to consider before deciding whether magnesium supplements are right for you.

Depending on the type of magnesium supplement in question, these dietary aids can become expensive.

Taking too much magnesium can lead to an overdose with unpleasant side effects and, in extreme cases, potentially life-threatening risks. Consuming too much magnesium may lead to feelings of fatigue, muscle weakness, nausea and diarrhea. If you take magnesium supplements and experience these symptoms, speak with your doctor as soon as possible.

Magnesium supplements can sometimes interfere with other medications and prevent them from being absorbed or used correctly. If you take regular medications, speak with your prescribing doctor before adding a magnesium supplement to your diet.

NutriLeads and FMCG Gurus to Host Sept 29 Webinar on Changing Consumer Perceptions, Behaviors and Motivations Toward Immune Health - GlobeNewswire

At the 7th annual Dietary Supplements Regulatory Summit, held in Washington D.C. and virtually on July 21, 2022, speakers dissected trends in the supplement market and educated on pressing issues. Product labeling and claims were a hot topic. Rend Al-Mondhiry, Partner, Amin Talati Wasserman LLP, told attendees, Our firm is either helping clients in the food and supplement space try to avoid this risk, or were helping them respond to threatened or filed suits regarding allegedly misleading claims. Its become the cost of doing business for these industries, and one of the main reasons our firm opened up an office in Californiawhich is where most of these suits originate. Most of what we see in the class action realm, whether its a filed or threatened suit, are actions where consumers allege they were deceived by false or misleading claims.

Al-Mondhiry discussed common themes in cases that are increasing across the supplement space. And though the courts have typically sided with the defendant or supplement company, she urged caution, and advised attendees to be increasingly aware of current trends and case precedents in the space.

There has been a rise in cases related FD&C Act compliance. Allegations are primarily tied to state law and regulation. Even where labeling or the product is compliant, Al-Mondhiry said, claims may be misleading. Due to this, noncompliance doesnt mean the case will succeed. It is fact- and context-specific.

Al-Mondhiry presented case examples, including Greenberg v. Target Corp., (9th Cir. 2021) targeting a biotin supplement with the claim helps support healthy hair and skin. Greenberg filed a putative class action under Californias Unfair Competition Law, alleging that most people do not benefit from biotin supplementation, making the labels deceptive. The panel affirmed summary judgment in favor of the manufacturer and distributors. There is substantiation that biotin helps support healthy hair and skin, so that statement was truthful, not misleading, and is a permissible structure/function claim.

Al-Mondhiry summed it up: Simply put, manufacturers may make structure/function claims about a nutrients general role on the human body without disclosing whether the product will provide a health benefit to each consumer.

Another trend to be aware of: Legal suits over natural claims. Use of the claim natural in marketing and advertising has been deemed false, deceptive, and misleading because products allegedly contained non-natural, synthetic ingredients. Example: Orrico v. Nordic Naturals (E.D. N.Y. 2022). Other undefined terms can be a target such as clean and pure.

There also has been an increase in environmental claims in recent years. Lawsuits have typically been filed by consumers and non-profits. According to FTC Green Guides, marketers should avoid unqualified general environmental benefit claims. Avoid broad claims with a range of meanings. This messaging may convey that the product has no negative environmental impact, and such claims should be avoided. The general thinking, Al-Mondhiry said, is that it is unlikely that marketers can substantiate all reasonable interpretations of these claims.

There have been attacks on the placement of DSHEA disclaimers. Example: Barnes v. Iovate Health Sciences U.S.A. Inc. (N.D. Cal. June 2021). This described an allegation that products were misbranded, unlawful supplements, and/or unapproved drugs. There has been an increase in citing noncompliance with 21 CFR 101:93 (d): the disclaimer shall appear on each panel or page where there such is a statement.

Claims & Labeling: 5 Takeaways from the Dietary Supplements Regulatory Summit - WholeFoods Magazine

Nutraceuticals is a comprehensive umbrella term which is used to label any product acquired from food origin with additional health advantages over and above the basic nutritious value available in foods.

Nutraceuticals can be regarded as non-precise biological remedies used to boost general health, regulate indications, and avert malignant developments. The explanation of nutraceuticals and allied output generally relies on the origin. Nutraceuticals can be segmented based on their natural basis, pharmacological circumstances, as well as the chemical structure of the products.

Nutraceuticals have advantage over medicine because they avoid side-effect and have natural dietary supplement. Most often, nutraceuticals are organised into the following classes: functional food, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and medicinal foods.

Dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and protein are the most frequently used nutraceuticals worldwide. Their acceptance has augmented rapidly in the earlier few years. Many studies have suggested that dietary supplements can enhance health, reimburse for unhealthy eating ways, and also lessen risk of developing chronic ailments. Moreover, factors such as easy availability and low cost augment the demand for dietary supplements.

Global Nutraceuticals Market: An OverviewThe globalnutraceuticals marketis segmented based on type, form, sales channel, and region. Based on type, the global market is bifurcated into functional beverage, functional food, and dietary supplements. By form, the market is segmented into capsules and tablets, liquid, powder, others.

Based on sales channel, the global market is studied across hypermarkets/supermarkets, specialty stores, pharmacies, and online channels. The global nutraceuticals market is also studied across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

By type, the nutraceuticals market is divided into functional beverages, functional foods, and dietary supplements. Functional foods are the most commonly consumed types of nutraceuticals products and occupy the largest market share, while the functional beverages are expected to have the highest growth at the end of the forecast period. (Fig.1).

Based on the form, the nutraceuticals market is divided into capsules and tablets, liquids, powders, and others. Capsules and tablets are the most easily available and the most widely consumed forms of nutraceuticals in the market and the other nutraceuticals products are expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Nutraceutical Market Overview in South Asian RegionThe Southeast Asia dietary supplements market size was valued at $6.92 Billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $10.60 Billion by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.60% during the forecast period (2019-2026). Dietary supplements are substances which are developed and designed to add specific nutrients to the body. These nutrients are supplied externally, which helps support the body system by lowering the risk of heart diseases and creates immunity against various diseases.

There are specific vitamins and minerals that the body cannot process on its own, which have to be consumed as supplements. Sometimes these supplements are added to food and drinks. Dietary supplements come in various forms such as extracts (liquid and powder), capsules, tablets, and pills. It consists of different types of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fibres, and plant and herb enzymes or extracts.

Southeast Asia, the dietary supplements market, is driven by the growing consumer consciousness towards preventive health maintenance and enhancement. Consumers are exhibiting greater willingness to opt for a concentrated source of nutrition and dietary supplements and have answered this call effectively and conveniently. Dietary supplements addressing general health and well-being, immune-support, digestive-support and so on are being increasingly demanded by consumers that are managing many of their health issues by relying on them.

The Southeast Asia nutraceutical excipients market size is expected to reach $1.03 billion by 2025 at an 8.22% CAGR, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing health consciousness and consequently increasing demand for nutraceuticals among consumers in South East Asia (SEA) are expected to drive market growth.

Europe reported the highest share, predominantly owing to a greater elderly population and the growing occurrence of chronic ailments. Asia Pacific is projected to advance at the highest compounded annual growth rate, majorly owing to the increasing popularity of e-commerce websites, growing awareness about the importance of well-being and health, and the rising middle-class populace.

The Middle East, Latin America, and African regions are expected to exhibit noteworthy growth in the projected time-frame.

Southeast Asian countries are recognised as hubs for innovation as far as new ingredients and functional foods are concerned. Major changes in urban lifestyle, high dependence on domestic consumption, and rising disposable income of consumers are key factors boosting the nutraceutical industry in these countries. Many international nutraceutical manufacturers seek entry into the SEA market owing to the high potential for revenue generation through consumer behaviour patterns in this region. For instance, in January 2018, ChromaDex introduced its Tru Niagen supplement in Singapore through retail partnerships with Watsons.

The comprehensive research account covers inclinations of nutraceuticals throughout chief regions encompassing Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East. By region, nutraceuticals market is led by North America due to presence of major manufacturers, high disposable income, and increasing focus on physical appearance.

Probiotics are live bacteria that are added, grown, or mixed into foods and drinks. Some studies suggest a link between probiotic consumption and weight loss when part of a balanced diet. However, further clinical trials will help determine how doctors can utilize this for patient treatment.

Probiotics are living microorganisms that may provide health benefits when people consume them. Typically, they come in yogurt form or specifically formulated drinks and supplements. They are also available in fermented foods such as kefir, tempeh, kombucha, miso, kimchi, and sauerkraut.

Learn more about probiotic foods here.

Probiotics can manipulate the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome refers to the collection and activity of microorganisms, including bacteria, that reside in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Dietary choices can influence the gut microbiome in helpful or harmful ways to overall health. People can add beneficial bacteria, such as lactobacilli or bifidobacterium, to their gut microbiome by using probiotic supplements or formulated foods.

Learn more about the microbiome and its role in health via MNTs dedicated hub.

The Food and Beverage Administration (FDA) does not regulate probiotics and treats them like other health supplements. However, it does generally consider them safe.

Additionally, the FDA includes many microorganisms in the Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) list, such as the lactic acid producing strains of probiotics commonly used in yogurt, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.

The relationship between probiotics and weight loss is complex and the subject of ongoing research.

A 2021 scientific review of data suggests that the intake of probiotics could lead to weight loss over 12 weeks in combination with other healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular physical activity.

Another review looked at the relationship between obesity and the gut microbiome. Those with a higher body mass index (BMI) may have reduced diversity in their gut microbiome. The review suggests the consumption of probiotics may alter the gut microbiome in ways that promote weight loss in people with high BMI by regulating appetite, metabolism, and energy expenditure.

Learn more about the potential benefits of probiotics here.

Similar to other supplements, probiotics are not subject to the same regulations as medications or food. This lack of regulation applies to supplements.

Therefore, it is not always possible to ensure that the probiotic contains the bacteria strains and quantities a product may claim.

Additionally, many bacteria populations in a probiotic supplement may change over time due to storage conditions or temperature fluctuations.

A 2015 study reports very rare cases of unwanted bacteria-host interactions or other side effects of probiotics, usually in immunosuppressed people or those otherwise severely ill. The researchers note that taking supplements always poses some risk and that the safety of probiotics requires further study.

Foods that contain probiotics, such as yogurts, are regulated by the FDA. They may not contain probiotics in as high quantities as supplements but may generally be a safer option for people concerned about risks.

Probiotics are not a replacement for conventional medicine. Probiotics should not be taken by people who are immunocompromised or otherwise severely ill. If pregnant or nursing, seek medical advice prior to use. Probiotics cannot treat or cure any disease or condition.

The table below compares the probiotic supplements in this article on key features:

When looking for a probiotic, a person may make some considerations.

Probiotic measurements are Colony Forming Units (CFUs) which estimate the number of viable cells in a given sample under controlled conditions.

Current regulation only requires a manufacturer to declare the total weight of the microbes, alive or dead, which does not correlate to the actual dose a person may consume.

When choosing a supplement, the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) recommends looking for a supplement declaring total CFUs at the end of the products shelf life.

Many probiotic supplements have 110 billion CFUs, and some have over 50 billion. There is no defined upper consumption limit, but there is currently also no evidence to suggest that higher CFU counts have better health effects.

People should also consider the types and amounts of different strains. These do not necessarily indicate safer or higher quality products, however.

While capsules and powders are the most common probiotic supplements, probiotics are also available in yogurts, fermented milk drinks, and even infused into flavored drinks. An individuals gut microbiome will also adapt gradually to diet changes, with different diets rendering different changes.

Probiotics alone will not likely support weight loss and should be taken in combination with proven weight loss methods, such as reducing energy intake and increasing physical activity.

Below, we look at some common questions about probiotics for weight loss.

The evidence shows a link between probiotics and weight loss when a person uses them alongside a balanced diet and exercise regimen.

A person may need to try different products to find a probiotic supplement that suits their needs.

No. There is currently no research to suggest an ideal number of CFUs or preferred methods of consuming probiotics.

Probiotics for weight loss are generally safe and can complement a persons diet and exercise regimen. Individuals should try different options to find what works best for them.

Anyone with concerns about the safety of taking probiotics should speak to a doctor for guidance.

Experts are continually studying probiotics to find the most effective bacteria strains and the optimal CFU dosage. They may then be able to confirm the link between the gut microbiome and weight loss.

What are the best probiotics for weight loss in 2022? - Medical News Today

The food world is just mad about saffron.

Created from the dried stamens of a high-maintenance crocus flower, saffron is treasured for the vibrant yellow color and delicate flavor and aroma it brings to food. Saffron crocus threads are meticulously hand-harvested, dried and packaged, and then sold for prices up to around $50 per ounce.

But, Frank Jaksch points out, there are significant health and wellness benefits to consuming saffron as well. However, extracting them and making them available on a commercial scale is difficult.

How are you supposed to take a incredibly high-value botanical like that and translate it into something that is a health and wellness solution to be used as an ingredient of those types of products? he asked.The answer is it's impossible.

Jaksch, who co-founded botanical-based supplement company ChromaDex in 1999, is ready to make it possible. Hes just been named the first CEO of Ayana Bio, a company spun off of Ginkgo Bioworks last year. Ayana Bio, which has been operating under the radar since its September 2021 creation,will use plant cell culturing techniques to produce biological components from ingredients like saffron, ginger, blueberries and cacao for use as food ingredients and supplements, and in nutritional beverages.

Jaksch said he co-founded ChromaDex to apply chemistry to the natural products space and become a provider of ingredients for food and supplements. ChromaDex perfected the creation of a form of vitamin B3 that has anti-aging properties, known by the brand name Niagen, and focused on producing it as a supplement.

But, Jaksch said, with Ayana Bio he wants to get back to his roots: using science and technology to develop novel ingredients from the plant kingdom in a way that they are most impactful to human health,and make them readily available for use in consumer products. By taking the helm of Ayana Bio, Jaksch said, he has the unique opportunity to do that.

The plant cell technology platform that Ayana Bio has is, to me, a game changer in being able to bring novel ingredients and basically sustainable ingredients to the market, he said.

Ginkgo Bioworks, the publicly traded cell-programming biotech giant, announced the spinoff and funding of Ayana Bio last September. Ayana was started with the intention of using Ginkgos well-known cell programing technology and infrastructure to bring to market high purity, clean and reliable medicinal bioactives in convenient forms. Its creation was funded by a $30 million Series A round from Viking Global Investors and Cascade Investment.

The best way to take advantage of these bioactives, creating them at large scale in a consistent way, is through plant cell culture, Jaksch said. This is a method that grows individual plant cells in a bioreactor. Although these cells are grown using technology, they are identical to ones found in nature, according to the company.Ayana Bio plans to utilize the cells on their own, not combine them or use them to engineer plants or plant-based products outside of their natural habitats.

While plant cell culture has been researched for years, few companies have advanced R&D to take advantage of it. Many are using precision fermentation to produce single compounds that work well in food products, but Jaksch said that approach doesnt do enough to create the types of nutritional compounds in plants.

Plant cells don't have to be engineered to produce these compounds because the plant cells were designed by nature to produce not only one compound, but multiple compounds, he said.

The plant cell technology platform that Ayana Bio has is, to me, a game changer in being able to bring novel ingredients and basically sustainable ingredients to the market.

Frank Jaksch

CEO, Ayana Bio

Using cell cuture, Ayana Bio can harness that power of plant cells and focus on perfecting production of those compounds. Some of these compounds are difficult to obtain today. Price can be an issue.Sometimes, taking a wild plant and transitioning it to mass cultivation makes its nutrient levels shift, Jaksch said.

By using cell culturing technology, Ayana Bio can grow identical cells consistently.And with climate change threatening many food crops, a non-agricultural solution to produce them could ensure their survival for future generations.

Extraction from agriculture is the past; ingredient cultivation is the future, Effendi Leonard, Ayana Bios co-founder and chief technology officer, said in a statement. We rely on plant-derived molecules for many things in our daily lives, and Ayana Bios mission to democratize plant bioactives without agriculture limitation is not an easy feat.Leonard said Ayana Bio is uniquely positioned to leverage life science technology, computation and cellular cultivation.

Ayana Bios product pipeline includes bioactive compounds from ginseng, berries, cocoa, ginger and other high-value botanicals, according to a company statement.The company can use Ginkgo Bioworks cell library and analytical capabilities to seek out the best cell lines to produce.

Using this technology, Jaksch said Ayana Bio can create ingredients that take the beneficial health and wellness-related aspects of plants so they could be added to supplements, beverages, protein bars or drinks or CPG products. The goal is to optimize the ingredients healthfulness and make them accessible enough to be used widely in products.For example, while blueberries are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, Jaksch said the average person cannot eat enough of them to take full advantage of their benefits.

Jaksch would not say how close Ayana Bio is to actually developing any potential ingredients, but he said there is a wide target group that could do business with the company.Beverage mix companies could use its ingredients to amp up nutritional benefits in their products, but CPG companies, desiring to serve consumers something more nutritious, may want to use them as well.

Jaksch said the COVID-19 pandemic threw fuel on the trend toward better-for-you options, and he believes Ayana Bio can meet CPG companiesneed for ingredient solutions.

I was actively involved in those conversations with some very large CPG food and beverage companies that were having tons of internal meetings, all the way up to the CEO and the board levels, where they were looking at, How do we bring health and wellness to the table, right?, Jaksch said.I don't want to sell just chips and snacks anymore. We need to find a way to sell chips and snacks and things like this that are healthier versions.

Jaksch said hes always been excited about the possibility of optimizing whats available in nature and making it available to companies to improve health and wellness.Ayana Bio, he said, gives him the opportunity to offer manufacturers and consumers something that is both new and familiar and that they already recognize as healthy.

Now we're just trying to say, Hey, we found a better way of making this stuff and delivering upon the promise and all the clinical studies and all the data that's already out there, he said.
