GROW Roundtable “Do collagen peptides support a healthy lifestyle or are they just hype with no proven effect?”
Living healthily has become a megatrend in the twenty-first century, shaping consumers’ habits and all areas of everyday life. The demands of an aging society and the desire to be mobile and live an active life up to old age has led to a greater awareness of and demand for value-added nutritional foods.
But how are these demands related to the hype around collagen peptides?
Collagen peptides have become more and more popular in recent years due to a wide range of benefits in many different areas of application. All benefits and applications come together under a common denominator: a healthy life. Promoting a healthy lifestyle, increasing mobility and physical performance as well as supporting a youthful skin is what collagen peptides are known for. But despite scientific evidence of collagen peptides’ positive effect on joint, bone and muscular health, some people still dispute the effect of collagen peptides.
At GROW’s virtual roundtable, industry experts from all over the world will discuss opportunities and challenges of the collagen trend for both consumers and the health and nutrition industry by answering the question: Do collagen peptides support a healthy lifestyle or are they just hype with no proven effect?
It is an opportunity for GROW to bring together its members, scientists, and experts on trends and to talk about the role of collagen peptides in an aging society that increasingly desires a healthy and mobile lifestyle.
