Winter Wellness Week Recap: 4 Ingredients to Boost Your Winter Product Line

As winter settles in, it's easy to think about how you can help your customers stay well throughout the season. Our Winter Wellness Week has highlighted our key trends and ingredients that are ideal for the cold months ahead. From joint support to sleep, we’ve showcased products that can help your customers feel their best, no matter how chilly it gets outside. Here's a recap of the key ingredients and trends to consider as you develop your products for the winter season.

With the cold weather, shorter days, and increased time spent indoors, people are more inclined to seek supplements that can help them stay healthy. Preventive supplements, personalised nutrition, and science-backed ingredients are all gaining traction in the wellness industry. These trends show that customers are looking for products that not only support their immune system but also improve joint health, cognitive function, and sleep quality.

Ho-Ho-Hold Your Joints: NEM® for Joint Health

Winter activities and colder weather can strain the joints, especially for people who remain active through the season. One ingredient that has proven effective in supporting joint health is NEM® eggshell membrane from Stratum Nutrition. This patented ingredient is derived from eggshells and provides joint support by helping pain, stiffness, and cartilage breakdown; with clinical studies supporting its efficacy in as little as 4-11 days.

In fact, NEM® is the number one researched eggshell membrane ingredient for joint health, with 16 clinical studies on the effect of NEM® for joint health on more than 1,000 men and women.

Brain Health: A Winter Pick-Me-Up with SageXtra™

Winter can sometimes bring mental fog or a dip in mood, and that's where SageXtra™ comes in. This clinically researched extract from Old English Sage has shown rapid improvements in cognitive performance, including better memory, recall, and attention. Studies have demonstrated that participants experienced cognitive benefits within just one hour of taking SageXtra™.

SageXtra™ is an excellent choice for products aimed at enhancing brain health, especially in the winter months when people are looking to stay sharp and focused despite the shorter days. With mental health at the forefront of consumer concerns, SageXtra™ can help you create a product that delivers fast-acting cognitive support.

Men’s Health: Sleighing the Game with Sibelius™:LactoMato

Men's health is always a key focus, and winter provides a great opportunity to target this market with products that support heart health, prostate health, and fertility. Sibelius™: LactoMato, a bioavailable lycopene-rich tomato extract, stands out for its benefits in cardiovascular and prostate health. It’s 240% more bioavailable than traditional tomato paste, which means your customers will get more out of a smaller dose.

But that’s not all. In clinical trials, Sibelius™: LactoMato has been shown to improve male fertility by increasing sperm mobility by 40%. For any product line targeting men’s health, LactoMato is an ingredient you’ll want to consider. It’s an ideal addition to winter products aimed at supporting male wellness.

Sleep: Yule be sleeping with Sibelius™: Chamomile

Winter often brings longer nights, but it also can mean more sleepless ones. If your customers are struggling with sleep, consider adding Sibelius™: Chamomile to your product offerings. This high-quality, scientifically-backed Roman chamomile extract has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration in market studies. Participants in a study reported fewer wake-ups during the night and a more restful sleep overall.

Given the rise in demand for natural sleep aids, chamomile is a great ingredient to include in products aimed at improving sleep, especially during the colder months when people are more prone to hibernation and disrupted sleep patterns. Sibelius™: Chamomile can be the perfect ingredient to help your customers get the rest they need to face the winter season.
