Active nutrition market has seen a tremendous rise in demand since the start of the century. The huge demand for active nutrition products has significantly increased due to rise in pharmaceutical and technological advancement along with the adaption of healthier lifestyle and increasing health consciousness among the expanding population.
These are the products derived from food sources that are purported to provide extra health benefits, in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods. Depending on their properties, products may prevent chronic diseases, improve health, delay the aging process, increase life expectancy, or support the structure or function of the body. In contrast to the natural herbs and spices used as folk medicine for centuries throughout Asia, this industry has grown alongside the expansion and exploration of modern technology. These products are largely unregulated, these supplements are the subject of more of marketing hype than actual clinical testing, and for many, and it is not even known whether they provide more benefits than risks for consumers. Many of the supplements are actually harmful for human consumption. Many sportsmen and athletes are known to overuse them for performance enhancement but at the risk of tearing of muscles. For many of these products, the most compelling evidence for efficacy remains anecdotal or, at best, based on hints of benefit from small or poorly controlled studies. And when their claims do not match the evidence, there can be legal consequences.
