Applying the WHI model to nutraceuticals

In this highlight from our roundtable, "The Future of Women's Health Research" the panelists discuss how the WHI model may be applied to nutraceuticals and the unique challenges this may pose. Full roundtable can be viewed here.

Produced by Nutritional Outlook, this roundtable was created in association with Women In Nutraceuticals (WIN), a new nonprofit group spearheaded by global nutraceutical leaders whose mission is to build support for women in the nutraceuticals industry, to help increase the percentage of women holding leadership roles in the C-suite and across the dietary supplement supply chain, to increase funding for female-led businesses, and to increase women’s participation in nutraceuticals research.

As a founding media partner of WIN, Nutritional Outlook, a brand of MJH Life Sciences™, is spearheading online events and editorial coverage to further WIN’s mission of encouraging representation of women in the nutraceuticals industry and in nutrition research.
