There is still time to register for tommorow's NutraIngredients Healthy Ageing Webinar, which will feature experts from DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences and Atlantia Food Clinical Trials amongst others.

The healthy ageing segment is now big business with demand for nutrition and food products for the elderly population at an all-time high.

At the other end of the scale, younger people are increasingly aware that the nutrition and health choices they make today will affect their quality of life in older age.

The webinar aims to explore the opportunities for innovation in this space, where top researchers and business leaders contribute in identifying the main risk factors for ageing.

This year’s line-up will also delve into the role nutrition and supplements can play to slow down ageing and maintain health as the population gets older.

The webinar kicks off with the founder of Prime Fifty​, Max Gowland​, discussing malnutrition in older adults and the food and supplemental approaches to ward off nutritional gaps.
