这一最新收购带来的功能类型onal ingredients associated with the traditional Indian natural health practices known as ayurveda into Kerry's portfolio. These ingredients, which are mostly herbal extracts, are said to provide natural functional benefits. Kerry says the ingredients made by Natreon can reduce stress and anxiety, help sports nutrition and healthy aging, provide cardiovascular support, maintain healthy blood glucose levels, provide bone and joint health benefits and keep a healthy uric acid balance in the body. The ingredients include Sensoril ashwagandha, PrimaVie shilajit, Capros amla, Ayuflex terminalia chebula and Ayuric terminalia bellirica extracts, as well as Crominex chromium complex.
Whileayurvedic ingredients and practicesare largely based in tradition, the efficacy of Natreon's ingredients are bolstered by more than 50 scientific studies, Kerry said. Natreon also holds several patents in the U.S. and other countries, ensuring that its ingredients are unique.
克里发现的2019年研究65% of consumers are looking for functional benefits当他们选择吃什么和喝什么。这意味着将这种自然促进的收购带给克里的投资组合可能会带来股息。同时阿育吠陀成分may not truly bring the promised benefit, they have a bright health halo and appeal to consumers as nutritional solutions from nature.
