Digestive Health Supplements Manufacturing Trends

Digestive Health Supplements Manufacturing Trends

According to SPINS, an Illinois-based market research company, the digestive health supplements industry is worth nearly $255 million and has grown approximately 16 percent over the past year, thus making it one of the fastest growing segments in the health supplement manufacturing industry.

To date, there are over 200 digestive health supplements on the market and there's no sign of this slowing down. Sales of these products are expected to rise as more well-researched digestive health supplements that promote efficacy and safety enter the market.

Who Is In Need Of Digestive Health Supplements?

According to statistics from the National Institute of Health (NIH), 60 to 70 million people in America suffer from some type of digestive concern. These concerns include occasional constipation, diarrhea, and upset stomach. About 20 percent of the population experiences digestive system concerns on a weekly basis.

Researchers have linked digestive health with weight, immune health, as well as metabolism. Digestion is also linked with energy, abdominal bloating, joint discomfort, and skin health. As a result, these people are turning to over the counter digestive health supplements to help support their overall digestive health.

What Digestive Health Supplements Should You Consider Manufacturing?

A quality GMP certified manufacturer with advanced lab facilities can help you formulate a digestive health supplement that meets the needs of your target audience. Or, you could use a pre-stocked private label formula to begin immediate production. Whatever your option, here are some products you may want to consider manufacturing:

Digestive Enzymes - Specific enzymes break down specific food groups into smaller nutrients that the body can absorb and utilize for its functional purposes. Enzymes are manufactured by the body or are obtained through the foods we eat. Nutrition experts believe that the body's ability to manufacture enzymes may be challenged these days and Americans may not get the enzymes they need because of poor diets. Popular enzymes include:

  • Peptides for digestion of proteins
  • Amylase for digestion of carbohydrates
  • Lipase for digestion of fat

Probiotics and Prebiotics Supplements - Americans are finally accepting the idea of ingesting friendly bacteria to benefit their digestive health. According to the Nutrition Business Journal (October 2008), the sale of probiotics supplements grew 21 percent in 2007, and is still a popular supplement choice. Research now reveals that specific strains of probiotics can help assist one's body in regulating digestive disorders. For example, evidence from NBJ shows the combination of probiotics with prebiotics could help assist your body in supporting normal cholesterol and glucose levels already within the normal range. Fiber is also used in weight management and helps ease occasional constipation.

Liver Supplements - The liver is the main organ for detoxification. Often neglected, it is an important organ in digestive health. Supplements that can support liver functions include milk thistle and dandelion root extract. Artichoke powder and several other herbs have been traditionally used to promote liver functions as well.

Herbal Colon Cleansers - Herbal colon cleansers are widely accepted to support healthy regularity. A comprehensive colon cleanse formula can support digestive health, gently cleanse the colon and detoxify the system. A blend of traditional and well-researched ingredients include senna, aloe vera, milk thistle, ginger root, fennel seeds, peppermint and many more.

Multi-Vitamins and Minerals - Innovative supplements for digestive health meet unique consumer needs, such as a daily multi-vitamin. They can be manufactured as stand-alone multi-vitamin supplements or included in digestive health kits.
