The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the food fortifying agents market. Chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, asthma, and diabetes, are ongoing conditions that can be managed through early detection, regular exercise, improved diet, and appropriate treatment. Their rising prevalence is largely driven by lifestyle factors such as poor diet, physical inactivity, stress, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Food fortifying agents help mitigate the risk of chronic diseases by enhancing the nutritional profile of foods with essential vitamins and minerals that support long-term health. For instance, in April 2025, according to the NHS Confederation, a UK-based national association, it is estimated that by 2035, 17% of the UK population could be living with four or more chronic conditions. Therefore, the growing incidence of chronic diseases is boosting demand for food fortifying agents.

This formulation is supplemented with PeptiStrong, a plant peptide clinically shown to enhance muscle protein synthesis, reduce exercise-related muscle breakdown, and lower markers of inflammation. The product is designed to deliver superior benefits compared with whey protein alone, improving recovery and reducing fatigue after exercise.
