Healthy aging - but why is healthy aging so important?

In our fast-moving times, the topic of "healthy ageing" is becoming increasingly important. But what is behind this term and why is it so important to address it?

Life expectancy in Germany has more than doubled in the last 150 years. While men lived to an average of 35.6 years back then, today it is over 78 years. The life expectancy of women has risen from 38.5 years to 83.2 years*.

For many people, it is clear that their state of health declines with increasing age. This results in a decline in well-being, quality of life and independence in old age. In order to counteract physical and mental decline, people try to maintain their health for as long as possible. More and more people are taking proactive measures to improve their quality of life and help them stay fit, agile and, above all, happy as they get older. The areas that can and should be covered are diverse - both physically and mentally.

Focus areas for healthy ageing

Skin and connective tissue

Our skin is not only our largest organ, but also our external protective shield against environmental influences. As we age, it loses elasticity, tension and moisture. We can help to keep our skin healthy and radiant by using special care products and suitable nutritional supplements.

Biohealth Product Development has already thought about this for you: our anti-ageing capsules with biotin (to maintain normal skin) as well as vitamin C and vitamin E (to protect against oxidative stress) or spermidine capsules with coenzyme Q10 can expand your range.

For all those who want to work on their body definition, we have our Tasty Toning collagen cocktails in the form of delicious Malibu passion fruit or vegan strawberry daiquiri. Our anti-cellulite shake is available as a supplement or alternative. How about the unusual "blueberry-lavender" flavor?

Mental health -
Forgetfulness to good sleep

Only those who sleep well are fit for mental performance.

Failure to sleep well can affect your entire day and your performance. A hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle - melatonin - can help here. The dosage forms are varied and can range from soft gums to lozenges and capsules, for example.

However, if you need a little power boost, herbal wake-up capsules are also suitable. Another aspect of healthy ageing is cognitive changes. Attention and forgetfulness in old age are most frequently affected. Our Bacopa & Ginkgo capsules can complete your range.

Musculoskeletal system

Mobility is more important than appearance, especially as we get older. Over time, however, our joints, cartilage, muscles and bones can become less efficient. Why not offer your customers our Flexible Capsules with glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, chondroitin sulfate, collagen, frankincense extract and hyaluronic acid?

Weight management

A healthy weight is essential for our well-being. As we get older, our metabolism often slows down, which makes weight management more difficult. A balanced diet can help here. However, as we all know that this is often not so easy in everyday life, you can also offer your customers a meal replacement, for example.

Of course, you decide the flavor!

BHI Legal Tip: Monacolin K in red mold rice

Health claim of monacolin K in red mold rice withdrawn!

According to Regulation (EU) 2024/2041, the health claim "Monacolin K from red mold rice contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels" is officially withdrawn and removed from Regulation (EU) 432/2012. In the past, the health claim was allowed to be used from a quantity of 10 mg monacolin K per daily dose.

The reason for the withdrawal of the health claim is a recent EFSA opinion according to which serious side effects have been observed in individual cases with intakes of 3 mg or more per day. For this reason, a maximum amount of 3 mg of monacolins from red mold rice per daily dose has been set for some time in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1925/2006.

Now the Health Claims Regulation is also being amended and the health claim will be removed from it. It may no longer be used.
