1. Sustainable Supplements
The future of supplements is clean, green and sustainable. As the interest in and awareness of sustainability continues to grow, the supplement market has had to adapt and put sustainability at the heart of both the ingredients used and manufacturing processes.

The demand for natural and sustainable supplements has resulted from consumers who are more engaged by the world around them, seeking to preserve the environment for future generations and looking to invest in products which will benefit their health and match their principles when it comes to ingredients, manufacturing and sustainability.

Clean label, sustainable supplements which offer complete transparency when it comes to ingredients and additives used have seen consumer preferences shift away from tablets and powders and towards liquid formats which avoid unwanted fillers, preserving natural goodness, making them more potent and effective. Leading the way in sustainable supplementation is TIANA® Fairtrade Organics (www.tiana-organics.com), the multi-award-winning and trusted nutrition brand, specialising in vegan free-from premium superfoods and natural food supplements who have recently unveiled their Science of Nutrition® range.

The Science of Nutrition® range includes three entirely vegan food supplements. The first is TIANA Advanced Formula Memory Oil® (RRP: £18.75), which proven to naturally prevent stress and age-related memory impairment, as well as improve attention and concentration. Containing pioneering Memory Activation Complex™ and natural brain boosting bioactive ingredients, it works to effectively activate memory and maintain cognitive ability by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain cells, which is one of the main causes of memory deterioration in conjunction with a busy, stressful lifestyle and lack of cognitive stimulation. This supplement also provides the daily requirements of Vitamin D3 and Omega-3 DHA.

The Science of Nutrition® range also includes two body energy boosters: TIANA® High Strength 100% MCT Energy (RRP from £11.99) and TIANA® High Strength 100% MCT Energy with Omega-3 (RRP from £12.99). The High Strength supplements works as fast acting fuel for superior functionality and are incredibly beneficial for people with diabetes, digestive issues and those seeking to reduce tiredness and fatigue as well as naturally enhance sporting performance. The one with omega-3 is a double-action supplement which also helps lower cholesterol levels. They are made from 100% Pure Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which are derived from TIANA® Fairtrade Organics premium raw extra virgin 1st cold pressed coconut oil. MCTs is an active ingredient that can be used as a powerful and natural alternative source of energy instead of glucose.
All these liquid supplements are vegan, pure, powerful and 100% natural sources of nutrients.

2. Baking and Flour Power 
As seasoned and amateur bakers look to make their recipes healthier and more inclusive for the growing number of people who suffer with food allergies, an array of interesting flours and sugar alternatives are entering the market.

2020 will see consumers looking to boost their bakes, switching to ‘super flours’ and 100% natural sugar alternatives which deliver better nutrition and superior flavour.
