VMS & Herbals - Trade show highlights at Natural & Organic Products Europe 2010
Next month’s Natural & Organic Products Europe, taking place over 11-12 April at London’s Olympia, will feature over 500 exhibitors – including many of the industry’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of VMS, herbals and natural healthcare products. From new product launches to brand innovations and packaging re-designs – the following is just a taste of what show press and industry buyers can expect to see at the UK’s only dedicated trade event for natural and organic products.
Healthspark will be launching their Cardio Red Antarctic Krill Oil, the new, greatly anticipated, source of Omega-3. Produced from the freshest stocks of live Krill, using the very latest in eco-friendly harvesting methods, Cardio Red Krill Oil is set to be a brand leader in the field of fish oil supplements. Powerful and 100% pure, Cardio Red Krill Oil has been awarded Novel Food Approval by the EU Food Safety Agency. Unlike traditional fish oils in which the omega 3 lipids are in the triglyceride form, the lipids in Cardo Red Krill Oil are in the form of bound phospholipids, which improves absorption by the body. In addition to this, Cardio Red Krill Oil contains Astaxanthine, a very powerful antioxidant. Lady Comfort™ is new capsule from New Nordic, which helps eliminate bacteria and thereby helps to maintain a healthy urinary tract system. In their lifetimes, between 20 to 40% of women will suffer from urinary bacteria infections, and every 3 out of 4 of women will have a Candida yeast infection. The capsule is multifunctional. It also contains natural oils that help maintain healthy hormonal balance and moist mucous membranes. New Nordic will also be promoting Wonder Legs™ its new invention that can help maintain strong and healthy leg vein circulation. These comfort-giving tablets contain natural pine tree bark and red vine leaves. BetterYou™ Magnesium Oil Joint Spray is the latest addition to the Magnesium Oil range and contains the addition of glucosamine sulphate together with the cooling and calming effect of menthol and the anti inflammatory and pain relieving qualities of wintergreen oil. BetterYou™ is proud to launch D Lux 1000, the markets first daily oral vitamin D3 spray with a great, sweet lemon taste. It was reported to the Department of Health this year that "more than 50% of the adult population have insufficient levels of vitamin D". Research clearly shows that only a small proportion of our essential vitamin D requirement is satisfied by our diet and fewer of us are managing the recommended 2-3 hours of direct sunlight each week. Nordic Naturals is the number one brand of omega-3 fish oils in the USA. Their latest new product is Nordic Omega-3 Gummy Worms, which are aimed at children aged two and over. Rich in essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, the easy to chew, strawberry flavoured worms promote a healthy brain and visual development, healthy immunity and memory and learning in children.

Despite being used in Asia for 1000’s of years, Moringa, with its countless health benefits, is little known throughout the western world. Quinex Moringa intends to rectify this by showcasing its range of products – including Moringa leaf powder, Moringa leaf powder capsules, Moringa enhanced flavoured teas, Moringa energy bars, and Moringa beauty products (shampoo and body wash) – and explaining all the countless health benefits to visitors attending the show.
