Italian Excellence
This is the cover title of SEI magazine where, among other things, food supplements are discussed.

Inside there is a contribution from Dr Valeria Volpato, our Head of Research and Development.

Here is the interview conducted by journalist Simone Ariot, included in an article entitled "Natura oltre la medicina" (Nature beyond medicine):

1. Do supplements and medicine go together? Good, correct supplementation can help medicine at every stage, from prevention to treatment and rehabilitation. Food supplements ensure the intake of nutrients that are essential for physiological functions and for health.
2. Is the typical user only an athlete? Athletes first and foremost, then people with nutritional deficiencies or particular intolerances, but also hospital patients or those who simply need to replace a meal while paying attention to balance.
3. What challenge are you setting yourselves for the future? To internationalise the brand and reduce the environmental impact of the entire production process to zero, from raw materials to finished product.
4. Can chemical and natural supplementation be combined? Absolutely, NATURE IS CHEMISTRY! The vitamins we take in with ordinary foods, for example, can be synthesised or extracted using chemical processes while fully retaining the same properties as the natural product.
5. How has the world of supplements changed in recent years? Today there is much more competition, as well as customers who are increasingly careful to find products suitable for people with particular intolerances or allergies (e.g. lactose or gluten).
6. What kind of professional profiles are sought after in this sector? The growth trend is positive; the most sought-after profiles are certainly specialists in the medical and scientific field, and graduates/experts in nutrition, chemistry and marketing.
