While needs arise to deal with the diversification in lifestyles, new avenues of development stand out and offer other perspectives for nutraceutical industry professionals.
Natural products and more particularly those which help to relieve anxiety, improve resistance to stress and regulate sleep are becoming increasingly sought after. To respond to this trend while ensuring healthy and authentic products to buyers seeking naturalness, the product ranges have evolved and now include plants which naturally restore these balances.
To help you in formulating your preparations, Natural Origins has selected plants and has developed natural titrated ingredients which treat the 3 primary disorders related to mood change (morale, stress and sleep):
We have listed plants with regard to treating a particular related mood disorder. Our selection includes:
St. John’s wort, Californian poppy, chamomile, lemon balm, valerian and passion flower are classic and essential references. These are particularly interesting formulation bases which effects which can be amplified in association* with other plants.
*Warning: all associations must be based on extensive scientific evidence to avoid any eventual interactions.
Certain plants have less targeted mechanisms of action with beneficial antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties at the root of their popularity. A supplementation with turmeric or ginseng can help restore overall balance and react positively on general well-being.
Certain well-known to the general public plants are not involved in this application despite their proven effects on certain mood disorders. This is the case for lavender and rhiodiola.
At Natural Origins, we favour French producers, when possible. By selecting our eschscholtzia, our lemon balm, our passion flower and our chamomile, you choose to join forces with supply chains in France.
