According to a study conducted by Synadiet*, 60% of French people consumed dietary supplements in 2024, compared with 46% in 2018. Confidence in these consumer products, at the intersection of health, beauty, and well-being is steadily rising.
“Every patient carries his own doctor inside him. What we can best do is to give that doctor who resides within each person a chance to work,” predicted Albert Schweitzer, doctor, philosopher, writer, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 1952. Sixty years after his passing, almost to the day, his assertion has not aged a bit.
In an international and national context filled with anxiety, French people are focusing on their well-being and increasingly consuming dietary supplements. While only 12% of French people consider themselves to be in good health, they unanimously rank health as their top priority. Dietary supplements clearly respond to this expectation.Among their selection criteria, boosting immunity, staying in shape, improving sleep quality, French consumers look for, at 81%, product usefulness and naturalness; at 79%, the absence of additives; at 72%, prescriber advice; the familiarity of the ingredients; and their French origin (source: Synadiet).
In this regard, Phyltres nutritional supplements, developed with guidance from Laurence Massip, Doctor of Pharmacy and micronutritionist, tick all the boxes: they are 100% natural, with no additives, preservatives, or added sugar.
Concentrated in natural micronutrients
Organic Damask rose, used in the composition of the drinkable beauty shots, is a medicinal plant with scientifically proven properties: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, digestive, antioxidant, antiseptic, toning, rejuvenating, and analgesic. The other ingredients, whose flavors it enhances, are also traceable and respectful of human health and biodiversity. Representing 30% of daily nutritional intake, Gourmet Beauty Shots are concentrated in micronutrients and powerful plant actives. These drinkable nutritional supplements have a very rapid effect thanks to their cocktail of natural actives, with high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and fiber. The ingredients work in synergy for better results and greater effectiveness in 7 to 14 days. Richer and more complex than traditional dietary supplements, gourmet beauty shots bring pleasure back into nutrition by combining gastronomy and wellness. In capsule, ampoule, or gummy form and over longer programs (21 to 30 days or more), dietary supplements do not evoke pleasure, are not always natural, and are sometimes less well absorbed due to excessive dosing.
Is nature making a major comeback? And could “aromatherapy be the keystone of 21st-century phytotherapy,” as predicted by Doctor Jean-Pierre Willem, author of *Essential Oils, Medicine of the Future*? In any case, it is certainly moving in that direction, as French people increasingly turn to alternatives to medication and chemical products to maintain and enhance their well-being.
