Even if there is a growing segment of population appreciating the value of healthy eating, time is the biggest inhibitor that restricts healthy eating plans into action.
Acknowledging this constraint, many pharmaceuticals companies like Ranbaxy, Cipla, GlaxoSmithKline and Dr Reddy’s Laboratories have taken the onus on themselves of extending some additional shots of nutrients by introducing health enhancing products like functional foods, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements.
And to extract further support to this healthy cause, a group of pharmaceutical companies has been coming together under a single roof and holding the “Nutra India Summit” in different parts of the country. The summit is dedicated to exploring the depths of the nutraceutical industry across the globe and also other health-boosting products like the functional foods, dietary supplements, and such others.
