The event will serve as a central meeting point for the entire value chain, bringing together ingredient suppliers, product manufacturers, solution providers, distributors, and industry thought leaders shaping the future of health and nutrition in India.

Supplements and functional foods are now everyday essentials, supporting immunity, gut health, women’s wellness, longevity, and mental well-being.
