Nutraceuticals

What are nutraceuticals?

The nutraceuticals industry involves the production and distribution of products derived from food sources that offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition. This includes a wide range of supplements, functional foods, and beverages designed to improve health, prevent disease, or support well-being. Nutraceuticals encompass products such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probiotics, plant extracts, and other bioactive compounds that are used for their therapeutic properties.

The nutraceuticals sector

With a growing focus on preventative healthcare and consumer interest in natural, plant-based products, the nutraceuticals market has expanded rapidly. The sector serves both the healthcare and wellness industries, with products designed to support a variety of needs, such as immune health, digestive health, joint health, weight management, and overall vitality.

As demand increases, manufacturers face challenges in ensuring the safety, quality, and efficacy of their products while also meeting stringent regulatory standards. Packaging plays a key role in preserving the integrity and potency of nutraceutical products, making it essential for companies to invest in reliable, safe, and efficient packaging solutions.

Bulk packaging for nutraceuticals

Nutraceutical products, such as vitamins and minerals, require high-quality packaging to maintain their efficacy and shelf life. These products are sensitive to environmental factors such as moisture, light, and air, which can degrade their potency and safety. In particular, moisture exposure can cause clumping, caking, or chemical reactions that reduce the effectiveness of these delicate formulations.

Therefore, secure, moisture vapor-tight packaging is essential to ensure that these nutraceuticals remain fresh, potent, and safe throughout their shelf life. Additionally, packaging must protect against contamination during handling and storage, which could compromise product quality and consumer safety.
