nutritious Candy’ No Longer An Oxymoron

Posted on by blogger

In the past, asking someone about nutritious candy might have produced a look of puzzlement.

But the truth is that today, nutrition can come in candy form. To a parent who is concerned about a child’s teeth, this may not be the best option. However, the term “nutritious candy” is not an oxymoron, and one supplement maker intends to prove it.

Mosaic Nutraceuticals, based in Dallas, has combined America’s love of sweets with its needs for vitamins in the form of a soft candy chew.

“If it takes a piece of candy to get my teenaged son to take the vitamins he needs, then I’m all for it,” said one Mosaic customer. Another noted, “I get a good-tasting piece of candy and I get the vitamins my wife is always nagging about. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

Apparently, the idea is catching on. Mosaic Chief Executive Officer Charles Townsend noted that the company offers tropical fruit-flavored multivitamins as well as orange-flavored vitamin C. “We really expect to have a banner year with our vitamins.”

In 2010, the global PN market was estimated to be worth $2,700m, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.3% between 2002 and 2010. The market is forecast to reach $4,537m by 2017, indicating a CAGR of 7.7% between 2010 and 2017.

Why Antiaging And Nutrition Are The Perfect Match!

Posted on by blogger

Antiaging nutrition is as close as you’ll get to slowing the aging process down to a trickle. Sure, plastic surgery, skin care and cream products and HGH treatments have been popularised as ways to defy aging but the truth is, mother nature has given us a great weapon in the form of nutrition to keep the wrinkles at bay!

Take Antiaging Nutrition On A Daily Basis

Let’s face it, nutrition is the life blood of our body cells. Our cellular structure is such that without optimal replenishment of antioxidants and minerals on a daily basis, the consequences over a period of time could be dramatic.

Antiaging using good nutrition practices is using mother nature’s defence against aging and degenerative disease. It’s not a cure; you don’t want to get to the stage where you need a cure, but I’m talking sensible preventative practices with good and optimal nutritional intake as the foundation. It’s like developing a safety shield but more importantly, you are giving your cells the food and fuel they need to survive and flourish.

Why Antiaging Antioxidants?

Without replenishing with optimal nutritional intake on a daily basis, our bodies are at the mercy of free radical damage. Apart from premature aging, diseases such as cancer, osteoparosis and diabetes could be the result and while it won’t happen immediately, the chances are increased over time.

Just take a look at the statistics over the last 60 years and the emergence of these lifestyle diseases compared to 100 years ago. Once the human race fought infectious disease, now it’s degenerative disease, so named because it’s caused over time through oxidative stress within our bodies. Without feeding our cells the nutrition they need to stay healthy we are inviting not just these diseases, but an escalation in the aging process.

Choosing The Right Nutrition

This has caused plenty of conjecture in recent years. Taking single nutrients in large doses whether they be vitamin B or C is now a little frowned upon. New age nutritional experts suggest antioxidants and minerals should be taken in optimal amounts covering the entire spectrum.

Finding nutrition in quality form is another major problem. Can you trust the products sitting on the shelves in stores today? Do they do what they say on the label? Basically, antioxidant and minerals should be taken in separate form. Be wary of products claiming to provide both in their entirety. Why? Because you would most likely require a knife and fork to eat them.

One other factor regarding nutrients which is so important is they should be readily absorbed by the body. It may require going a little wider in your search for quality antiaging nutrition such as checking out non-mainstream product lines but it could be well worth it.
