Don't Fall Behind on Spring 2012's Hottest Supplements

This is a great time to start thinking about what’s going to make your product line shine this upcoming spring season. Springtime brings warmer weather and more health-conscious mindsets, meaning consumers are more motivated during these months to get active, eat healthy, and use supplements. Start off the New Year right by cashing-in on some of spring 2012’s hottest supplement trends and ingredients.

Workout Products

Whether you’re a professional athlete, a trainer, or just an everyday health enthusiast, the sports nutrition market holds a big opportunity for supplement manufacturers during the springtime. Some athletes train year-round, but most people take it easy during the winter and wait for spring to pick up their workout regimens again. A sales boost in spring 2012 can be predicted for pre-and-post workout supplements, especially protein powders because of their custom formulation and various flavor options. Some “hot” ingredients to be on the lookout for include whey protein, dextrose, creatine, glutamine, and l-argine.

Diet Products

Spring is one of the most common times people try to lost weight because it’s that in-between time right after the holidays and right before the summer. Despite all the skepticism around weight loss supplements, a recent market research report predicts the U.S. market for weight loss aids to be valued at $310 billion by 2014. Popular weight loss and detox products include metabolism support, carb products, colon cleansers, pro-and-pre biotic combinations, and herbal tea powders.

Allergy Products

In addition to wanting to work out more and losing weight, one of the most common troubles of the spring season is allergies. According to a 2006 survey, a combined estimate of 25 million adults and children suffer from hay fever during the spring. Sales’ trends show that consumers are more geared towards herbal and natural supplements for their weather-related allergy needs. Vitamin C, nettle, glucomannan, N-acetyl (NAC), licorice root, lycopene, and pinebark are some great ingredients to consider for your anti-allergen supplements.

Seeing is Believing: A Formula You Can Actually Make Health Claims About!

Five years ago, the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureau employed an attorney to specifically deal with dietary supplement companies making false claims about their products.

Over 100 cases have been reviewed so far and though print and TV claims have seen a decline over the last five years, web-based health claims continue to shake consumer confidence in supplements. However, in the wake of all this deception, there is a formula you can 'hang your hat on', so to speak.

The Study

In October 2001, the National Eye Institute released its findings from their age-related eye disease study (AREDS) reporting that study participants who took high levels of antioxidants and zinc reduced the risk of developing advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by 25%, as well as the vision loss associated with advanced AMD by about 19%. Enrollment for the study began in 1992, resulting in 4,757 participants enrolling at eleven clinical centers across the country. Each participant was assigned randomly to one of four groups, where they were either given zinc tablets only, antioxidant tablets only, tablets containing zinc and antioxidants combined, or a placebo.

For those study participants who initially had intermediate or advanced AMD, the risk for developing advanced stages of AMD was reduced by about 25% when treated with the tablets containing antioxidants and zinc, as compared to the placebo. Additionally, in the same group of participants with either intermediate or advanced AMD, the antioxidants plus zinc tablets had lowered their risk of moderate to severe vision loss that typically accompanies advanced AMD by about 19%.

The Formula

The formula that combines the antioxidants and zinc is as follows:

• Vitamin C - 500mg
• Vitamin E - 400 IU
• Beta Carotene - 15mg
• Zinc (as zinc oxide) - 80mg
• Copper (as cupric acid) - 2mg
