The Supplements Industry Should Be at the Forefront of the Sustainability Movement

by Carey Lise

Consumers in many parts of the world have finally responded to calls for environmental awareness as consumption of eco-friendly products is now on the rise. A 2018 global survey by Nielsen revealed that 81% of the survey’s respondents believe that manufacturers have to take a more serious stance in taking care of the environment. Since the supplement industry promotes health, wellness and healthy living through their products, they have to be visibly and vocally demonstrative with the actions they take to improve the community and environmental wellness.

Today, the supplement industry has taken significant steps toward achieving sustainability by buying or cultivating locally grown botanicals and herbs in order to reduce the carbon footprint of outsourcing from foreign sources. Moreover, doing so supports community livelihood, whilst ensuring product authenticity and safety.

After all, the supplement industry has been seeing rapid growth over the last years, while sharing some of its supply bases with food and textile manufacturers. The enormous demand being imposed by these industries can impact previous efforts to instill sustainable actions in addressing depletion of resources, loss of worker livelihoods, and climate change.

How Does a Supplement Manufacturer Support the Sustainability Movement?

Supplement manufacturers supporting the sustainability movement use only ethical ingredients. They choose their suppliers carefully to which the selection criteria include ascertaining full supply chain transparency, on how and where the ingredients are grown or sourced.

In such cases, a supplements company engages third-party validators to check compliance with the requirements and standards of sustainable raw materials sourcing. Compliance includes not only the adoption of environment-friendly practices but also provisions for clean, safe, and appropriate working conditions.

In addition, a compliant supplement manufacturer utilizes renewable energy tariffs to make certain that the machines used for production are energy efficient, and can be monitored for water usage.

When is a Supplement Product Sustainable

One indication that a supplement product is sustainable is when the promised effect works for the long term, or even better yet, permanently. Weight loss supplements have come and gone because they tend to lose their efficiency after a brief period, as the weight loss approach banks heavily on appetite suppressants.

Other weight loss supplements work by focusing on boosting metabolism that hastens the calorie-burning processes. However, they tend to require tremendous hours of physical workouts in order to achieve long-term results. User feedback makes mention of following an on and off pattern in achieving weight loss goals.

Actually, there’s a new weight loss supplement called Exipure that offers permanent weight loss solutions. According to Exipure independent reviews, its ability to bring about positive results is due to the weight loss formulation’s focus on boosting the production of Brown Adipose Tissues (BAT) that help burn the fat-storing White Adipose Tissues (WAT).

To back up its exclaim, the manufacturers of Exipure offer a 100%, 180-day Money Back Guarantee if the weight loss supplement does not work as promised.
