Trends in the natural health industry are constantly evolving, as new information and products become available. Below are three popular trends in the health product industry.
1. Collagen. The most abundant protein in the human body, collagen improves the appearance and health of the skin. Once typically used as an anti-aging ingredient in cosmetics, it has now become popular as a superfood and is being sold in capsules and powders and also marketed for use in smoothies, coffee, soup, and oatmeal, among other foods.
2. Keto diet. This type of diet aims to promote weight loss by including high-fat and high-protein foods that encourage the body to enter a ketogenic state. While in this state, ketones are produced in the body as a result of the liver breaking down fats. The keto diet only continues to grow in popularity with no signs of this trend slowing down.
3. Black seed oil. Derived from the nigella sativa seed, this oil features a robust flavor and is considered to be a miracle food supplement. It is reported to be helpful for improving bone health, preventing cancer, and reducing inflammation.
