The current protein landscape is dynamic and evolving based on consumer preference, formulation advances, and understanding about health benefits and need states. While whey still reigns as the king of proteins, with casein following close behind, demand for alternative sources like peas and other vegetables, has accelerated, driven by consumers and formulators alike.
 
Meanwhile, muscle protein synthesis remains an important consideration, not just for competitive athletes, but also for children, the elderly, and healthy consumers in between. Join us for this webcast to learn more about the state of the protein market.
 
Topics will include:

• What consumers are looking for when it comes to protein products;
• Demand drivers for alternative forms of protein
• Health benefits and formulation advantages/challenges for these new forms
• Importance of MPS and BCAAs
• Innovative ingredients and unique results that impact MPS in protein formulations

The dietary supplement industry continues to expand. Under the law, companies (including manufacturers, packagers, warehouses, distribution centers, etc.) must comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). Compliance is required for all companies that conduct services within the U.S. or import products into the U.S.

Ten years since implementation of dietary supplement cGMPs, it’s time to assure compliance. Experts from NSF International will discuss what GMPs are in layman’s terms while digging into their purpose, impact, compliance, and more.

• Top hurdles identified from NSF International Audit Findings and conformance options.
• Aggregate of top FDA and NSF International Audit Findings.
• Understanding of GMPs, compliance hurdles, and potential solutions.
• NSF International’s GMP Registration Program, which assesses compliance with regulatory and NSF International requirements.
