AIDP’s 2023 Innovation Day:  “Unveiling B2B Innovation with Research-Based Ingredients in the Supplement Market.”

In an era where health and well-being have taken center stage, the supplement industry has emerged as a dynamic and rapidly evolving sector. At the heart of this innovation lies the utilization of research-based ingredients that offer credible benefits backed by scientific exploration. This webinar serves as a
platform to delve into the myriad ways in which businesses are leveraging rigorous research and scientific evidence to drive innovation, create superior products, and establish robust partnerships in this dynamic ecosystem. Our expert speakers, each a trailblazer in their respective domains, will share new research findings and innovative solutions.

This webinar is for anyone involved in new products from R&D, marketing, purchasing and management. Each session will be followed with Q&A as moderated by Whole Foods Magazine Editor-in Chief Maggie Jaqua.

While there is enough evidence that Crocus sativus L. extract (saffron extract) improves symptoms of depression and anxiety, its potential impact on sleep quality and associated disorders had not been fully addressed. Objective measurements and associations with a standardized saffron extract on crocins and safranal have been lacking in previous studies. In a recent six-week study, participants supplemented with just 30mg of Saffr’activ experienced significant improvements in sleep duration and quality. Actigraphy measurements revealed an increased time in bed, while the assessment of four different questionnaires further underscored the relevance and effectiveness of this safe and natural nutritional strategy for enhancing sleep.

Furthermore, ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) stands as one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders worldwide. Despite its promising benefits, previous research on ADHD has lacked objective measurements when evaluating the effects of saffron extract. The latest study on Saffr´activ on ADHD shows that the efficacy of saffron is comparable to that of methylphenidate

This presentation will introduce Liboost™ Damiana (Turnera diffusa) extract, standardized to 1.5% bioflavonoids by HPLC, and review the clinical support.  Liboost™ is one of the highest combined bioflavonoid damiana extracts clinically verified to work quickly.  Women’s health during menopause is a growing market and this is sure to provide a natural solution to meet the market demand.

KeraGEN-IV™ is a vegetarian keratin in a digestible powder form derived from ethically sourced, sustainably produced New Zealand wool. Preclinical studies demonstrated that keraGEN-IV™ boosts production of collagen IV and VII between the dermal and epidermal skin layers and in the hair follicle. This fundamentally improves skin structure and hair follicle anchoring. A clinical trial on 70 female volunteers aged 45-60 demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in hair loss and improvement in skin structure over a 60 day treatment period. Results of the clinical trial will be presented.

Magtein and ATAMg are patented magnesium products that have attracted significant attention due to their potential impact on cognitive, mental, sleep, and women’s health. With evidence from human clinical trials, open-label studies, and animal studies, these supplements enhance cognitive functions (e.g.,  memory, exective functioning, and attention) promote better mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, and even improving sleep quality and duration. Notably, ATAMg improves premenstrual symptoms such as anxiety, mood swings, and headaches. These ingredients hold the potential to disrupt the landscape of brain health, cognition, mood, sleep, and memory, offering bioavailable solutions that are garnering considerable interest. This presentation will highlight the current state of the science and trend landscape.

AlphaGOS® is a unique, patented pea based GOS prebiotic.  This session will review the key in vitro and vivo studies that support its roles for prebiotic benefits, which led to reduced appetite, food intake, and inflammation in overweight adults. These studies suggest that AlphaGOS® may promote long-term weight loss and mitigate metabolic disorders. AlphaGOS® was also shown to exert prebiotic effects in infant microbiota, similar to that of beta-GOS and superior to that observed with inulin or Human Milk Oligosaccharide (2-fucosyl-lactose).
