In 2013, the nutrition industry enjoyed another successful year with most existing categories growing and others continuing to emerge. While we may not consider 2013 a ‘banner’ year, we can certainly remark on 2013 as a ‘banter’ year as talk of healthcare reached an unprecedented level. In the overall dialogue of the Affordable Care Act, healthcare in total has been discussed more than any other time in U.S. history. One cannot look at healthcare and logically only think in reactive terms. Preventive healthcare continues to come to the forefront and the dialogue is not only serving an older demographic. 2014 offers our industry the opportunity to continue the ‘banter’ and continue to engage and expand upon successful education, proving the importance and value of nutritional supplements.” —Scott Steinford, CEO/President, Doctor’s Best, Inc. As for the nutraceutical research being in consonance with the current public health issues, the current public health issues includes but not limited to these: Healthcare associated infections, HIV/AIDS, Ebola Virus Disease, Immunization, Hypertension, Maternal and child health, Mental health issues, Parasitic diseases and diabetes and obesity.
In my opinion, I don’t think the nutraceutical research is in consonance with the current public health issues because nutraceutical researches only addresses few current public health issues.
