Paying more attention to your health has become a new trend in modern living: sports, reducing excess, healthy eating, etc.
We now live in an era of prevention with a privileged focus on physical, mental, environmental and social well-being. This collective awareness reflects on consumers who are increasingly concerned with their eating habits. They are convinced that food has a direct influence on their health.

A healthy digestive system is consequently a major concern. Intestinal problems can indeed be a major source of discomfort and affect the  well-being and quality of life of millions of people around the world, and in particular in France. Some 40% of French adults who consult their doctor indicated that digestive or intestinal problems were the second most important reason for their visit.

This is a growing market that represented 4.3 billions euros in 2006.

 A healthy digestive system depends on nutrition, and the daily consumption of new, nutrient-functional food in order to improve it.
Today, the development of new nutritional food products requires scientific proof, and is subject to a precise regulatory framework with regard to nutritional and health claims.

REGULATION (EC) No 1924/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 20 December 2006 concerning nutritional and health claims made on food.
