Stress and Mood Enhancement

From students feeling the pressure of studies, to overwhelmed mothers combating postnatal depression, fast paced lifestyles to always on social media, and even fluctuating political landscapes, stressors have been building over generations.

The pandemic has accelerated this concern, becoming one of the top five health issues consumers experienced in 2020¹. Most of the time, psychological stress can negatively impact many aspects of people's overall physical and mental health, such as sleep quality, general mood, and cognitive performance.  CPG brands find themselves looking for formulation solutions that can stop stress or reduce stress levels.

Evidence suggests that ingredients such as probiotics and milk phospholipids may play an important role in brain development, cognitive performance, and mental wellness, including reducing stress and stress management. 

Milk phospholipids are naturally present in milk as part of the milk fat globule membrane. They are clinically proven to manage the effects of stress, helping maintain performance by staying focused and positive. This clinically proven ingredient is ideal for a standalone product with stress management benefits. It is also an excellent addition to a wide range of applications to broaden appeal to consumers seeking functional benefits.
