Women’s Health, Nexira Unveils its New Clinical Study Results

Improving Women’s Urinary Comfort & Quality of Life with Exocyan™

Women’s Health Market: Focus on solving specific women’s health issues

Women’s health is gaining ground within the dietary supplements market: The 2020 CRN Council for responsible Nutrition Consumer survey on Dietary supplements found that 77% of American women currently take supplements, as compared to 68% of men.

The women’s health supplement market is projected to reach a value of US$2.2 billion in 20231 and there is a good reason for this growth; Women’s health evolves at every age and stage of their life. Supplement brands are increasingly targeting various and specific women’s related health issues, like urinary tract health: this supplement category grew by 13% in sales over the past year, according to proprietary SPINS data.

UTIs are one of the most frequent clinical bacterial infections in women, accounting for nearly 25% of all infections. Approximately 50–60% of women report at least one urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime, and one in three will have at least one symptomatic UTI necessitating antibiotic treatment by age 242.

Exocyan™, the Most Extensive Range of Cranberry Extracts for Women’s Health

Cranberries have been used by North American populations for food and medicinal purposes since ancient times. Nowadays, these fruits are widely grown on vines and low shrubs in the northern regions of America and in Chile.
