Pick of the products 2019

One thing’s for sure when reflecting on this year’s products: our industry never fails to deliver on innovation. With the word ‘sustainability’ on everyone’s lips, our sector was pioneering its ‘better for you and the planet’ products long before the phrase hit the mainstream. As the world plays catch-up, here’s a review of the trendsetting products that made their way onto shelves in 2019.

From CBD drinks to vegan sushi
With 49% more people taking part in Veganuary 2019, plant-based products have reached dizzying heights. 2018 was all about meat-free products emulating the texture of meat, but 2019 saw a rise in ‘healthier’ fake meats providing plant-powered nutrition: beetroot and spinach sausages; sunflower mince; and vegan sushi developed using the Asian vegetable konjac to create an alternative to salmon.

Vegan cheese is bigger than ever, with complex flavour profiles to produce products that taste (and melt) like the real deal. Enriched plant milks have evolved too, with new varieties including pistachio and macadamia.

CBD remained a mega trend in VMS, making its way into food and drink, and new delivery formats have also been applied to ACV, which we’ve seen incorporated into shots and gummies. 

Mushrooms continue to reign, used in teas and coffees to provide alternatives to caffeine. Healthy snacking is going strong; baked snacks have featured new ingredients such as seaweed, tapioca, plantain, peas and root veg. And functional smoothie-like soups – heated and consumed straight from the bottle – provide a simpler way to eat well on the go.

Sprays and sleep products
Among the trends we predicted to boom, CBD is joined by nootropics, with oral sprays emerging for both. Sleep products are helping to aid natural slumber, and curiosity about vitamin IV drips is increasing. The champions of VMS – manuka, probiotics, turmeric and magnesium – remain popular, and adaptogens maca and ashwagandha are still in demand to aid stress.

An extended range of vegan protein powders containing omega-3s became more prevalent, while migraine and urinary tract products have advanced with tech – including the introduction of an app combined with a dip-stick for home testing.

Beauty from within
This year saw the beauty from within trend making strides, with an influx of supplements for skin and hair. Multi-purpose continues to be big in green beauty, serving as another sustainable alternative. Facial oils, anti-pollution skincare and the term ‘pro-ageing’ hit headlines too. Vegan and cruelty-free are going strong, as more people become aware of ethics in their beauty regimes. But the biggest story of all has been how beauty brands are upping their packaging game, with an influx of plastic-free shampoo, conditioner and body cleansing bars.

Plastic-free reusables
Rising awareness about plastic consumption has influenced a plethora of plastic-free eco-living products; although concerns have been raised about how sustainable some alternatives actually are. From bamboo water bottles and organic cotton clothing, to beeswax wraps and coconut bristle washing-up brushes – these win-win products are made to last but also break down safely in the environment. Eco-living starter packs are predicted to fly off shelves this Christmas. Stores are offering gift bundles of reusable products – ideal for eco novices who want to make sustainable swaps.

Ancient Magnesium

www.wholesalehealthltd.co.uk

The bestselling Ancient Magnesium Ultra range from Good Health Naturally delivers a powerful combination of genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride and OptiMSM® (the world’s purest MSM for enhanced absorption), providing a convenient yet gentle way to naturally boost cellular magnesium levels.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in supporting over 300 different enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, normal muscle and nerve function, normal psychological function, energy production, and more. Unfortunately, due to the widespread depletion of this critical mineral from our food supply (which the body needs in large, absorbable quantities each day to function), many people aren’t getting enough magnesium from their diet alone. Research indicates that when the body is magnesium deficient it can result in deteriorating cellular metabolic function, resulting in serious health problems. Some of these health problems include anxiety and depression, migraine headaches, cardiovascular disease, and fibromyalgia, amongst other issues.

Magnesium also has an important relationship with calcium and vitamin D. Keeping magnesium levels up is critical for calcium absorption. Even low magnesium levels in the “normal” range may cause calcium to accumulate in soft tissue and lead to chondrocalcinosis, or crystalised calcium in joint cartilage.

Supporting your diet with a magnesium supplement is highly recommended. However, although drugstore magnesium powders and tablets are readily available, our digestive system struggles to absorb them. The best and most effective magnesium delivery is through the skin as a topical supplement, which significantly increases its uptake and health-protective abilities.

Ancient Magnesium is available in a variety of topical applications including bath flakes, body butter, oils, creams, and lotions, including the award-winning Ancient Magnesium Cream with CBD Oil + OptiMSM®, and Ancient Magnesium Cool Relief Lotion with added shea butter, sweet almond oil, therapeutic menthol, and other organic ingredients.
