itafoods Europe is set to spotlight the important role of nutrition in mental wellbeing in a new in-person Summit on 9 May 2022, at the Fairmont Grand Hotel in Geneva.

Plus, Summit attendees can network with like-minded professionals to discuss ways to address this growing and increasingly important market sector.
V A chance to solve global issues together
“Mental health is a top global health concern in 2022 – we’re working longer, sleeping less, and are more stressed than ever before,” said Heather Granato, Vice President of Content, Informa. “Add the pressures of a global pandemic into the mix, and it’s no wonder that consumers have decided that now is the time to proactively improve their mental wellbeing. Understanding the market opportunities, trending ingredients that have scientific substantiation, product development and compliance considerations, as well as consumer needs are all key to developing effective nutraceuticals products in this sector.” “Taking place the day before Vitafoods Europe 2022 opens its doors, the Vitafoods Europe Summit brings together the industry’s leading researchers, providing a dedicated forum to discover how nutraceuticals can support all-round wellbeing and opening up conversations around building mental resilience through nutrition. By honing in on this one pressing subject at the Summit, we’re offering a deeper dive into it – it’s the practical application of nutritional science for mental health.”
