As spring approaches and waistbands beginning to feel uncomfortably tight after the holiday feasting, your customers will be looking for assistance in meeting their healthy weight goals. As we head towards 2014, Market Research News estimates the global market for this sector will be over $350 billion. Looking for a way to break into this burgeoning market? Here's a preview of the latest natural ingredients and extracts making waves in the world of healthy weight management.
Monk Fruit
Zero-calorie Monk Fruit (Lo Han Guo) is the ideal sweetener for weight management products that require low or no carbohydrate content and that aim for minimal calorie content. Monk Fruit does not elevate insulin levels, raise cholesterol or stimulate fat storage. By isolating the sweet compounds, it's possible to obtain extracts that are up to 250 to 300 times sweeter than cane sugar, without the taste issues of stevia, the digestive issues of xylitol, and the high-glycemic issues of agave. Monk Fruit obtained GRAS status in 2010.
