Digestive health is the third largest health trend globally, with retail sales valued at £44 billion (Euromonitor International 2017). It is continuing to grow as consumers become more health conscious and seek to improve their digestive and gastrointestinal health because of unhealthy diets and stressful lifestyles.
This seminar stream will examine the latest research around diet-microbiota interactions and the impact they have on health. Industry experts will review new ingredients and products to support a healthy and balanced digestive system.
