Fibre is having a moment. Once overlooked, it’s now at the forefront of R&D thanks to its multifunctional benefits – from supporting the microbiome and improving digestive health to enhancing satiety, blood sugar control and even mental wellbeing.
This session dives into the fibre renaissance, spotlighting novel sources, prebiotic innovations and formulation strategies that make fibre-rich products more appealing and effective. Discover how brands are leveraging fibre to meet consumer demand for better health and functionality.
