Stress and Mood Enhancement
Consumers are majorly concerned about mental health & stress management. Learn how formulating with stress-relieving phospholipids can help you meet consumer trend demands.
Overview
Psychological stress is a serious and growing health concern across generations, impacting day-to-day performance.
From students feeling the pressure of studies, to overwhelmed mothers combating postnatal depression, fast paced lifestyles to always on social media, and even fluctuating political landscapes, stressors have been building over generations.
The pandemic has accelerated this concern, becoming one of the top five health issues consumers experienced in 20201. Most of the time, psychological stress can negatively impact many aspects of people's overall physical and mental health, such as sleep quality, general mood, and cognitive performance. CPG brands find themselves looking for formulation solutions that can stop stress or reduce stress levels.
Consumers seek ways to manage their stress level by adopting preventive health measures, including healthy eating.
With growing scientific evidence that diet is as important to mental wellbeing and stress management as it is to physical health, consumers are looking to stress relieving ingredients and foods to reduce stress levels, while improving mood & cognitive performance.
Consumers are increasingly turning away from conventional drugs, with supplements now widely consumed to cope with mental alertness, mood, and stress. In addition, consumers also favour convenient, functional, and fortified foods and drinks formulated with health-enhancing ingredients.
Dairy ingredients can help create innovative products to address consumers' stress concern.
Evidence suggests that ingredients such as probiotics and milk phospholipids may play an important role in brain development, cognitive performance, and mental wellness, including reducing stress and stress management.
Milk phospholipids are naturally present in milk as part of the milk fat globule membrane. They are clinically proven to manage the effects of stress, helping maintain performance by staying focused and positive. This clinically proven ingredient is ideal for a standalone product with stress management benefits. It is also an excellent addition to a wide range of applications to broaden appeal to consumers seeking functional benefits.
