Scientific Forums

Regulatory frameworks for nutrition and health claims are converging and becoming more similar around the world in the health supplement & nutraceuticals sector. To build consumer confidence it is pertinent that claims on foods should be based on a balanced scientific approach.

In attempt to share best practices, ReCHaN in partnership with FSSAI organized its 1st Stakeholder Forum focused on “Scientific Framework for Substantiation of Health Claims”
on 1st May 2018 (Tuesday) in New Delhi.

Health Supplements and Nutraceuticals are part of maintaining overall health and wellness. Supplementation is an important component for keeping a balanced diet, including
overcoming gaps in nutrition.

Balanced Diet and Diet Diversity is important for healthy lifestyle but due to lack of complete nutrition in our daily diet, supplementation can contribute in increasing healthy life expectancy and healthy ageing even among elderly population as remaining in good health is essential for
all human being even in old age.

With an objective to create sensitization among stakeholders, the 3rd Stakeholder Forum was organised on “The Science of Supplementation” on 21st February 2019 at New Delhi.

On account of the shift in consumer focus on nutrition and health, the Health Supplements & Nutraceuticals sector is gaining significant importance. Consumer understanding for this category of product is also evolving.

Consumer insights are important for all the stakeholders for translating them into products, policies, and regulations leading to clear vision for the sector and strengthening of ecosystem.

To unveil first of its kind research findings on consumer understanding and perceptions on health supplements and nutraceuticals and to share Vision 2030 for the sector by senior industry leaders, ReCHaN has organized the 5th Stakeholder Forum “Consumer insights and Evolving ecosystem of Health Supplements & Nutraceuticals in India” on 25th May 2022.
