This year’s awards saw a total of 256 entries - over 30% higher than last year - and is a record high for the Asia edition of the Awards, which is also held annually in Europe and the US.
The newly added Healthspan Ingredient of the Year and Product of the Year categories, as well as Innovation in Women’s Health, were the three categories that received the most entries.
All 17 award category entries were judged by our independent panel of experts.
Winners will be announced at an invitation-only awards ceremony in Bangkok on the evening of September 2 (Wednesday).
“We received a record number of entries this year and the standard set across all the categories was especially high, reflecting the immense efforts undertaken by the industry to offer scientifically validated ingredients and products to meet a whole host of health needs in the region,” said Gary Scattergood, managing director: APAC at William Reed, publisher of NutraIngredients.
“I’d like to say a special thank you to our panel of independent judges, which dedicated significant amounts of time to assess all of the entries in great detail. The judges’ impartiality, expertise and dedication are hugely appreciated,” he added. “We now look forward to announcing the winners in Bangkok on September 2, and seeing all of our finalists at the event.”
