Obesity and diabetes are severe and growing issues in CEE countries. Consequently, weight management was the 3rd fastest-growing CHC category in the region in the past 5 years. Currently available treatments do not meet the demand of European consumers, who are frequently looking for new solutions to address the issue.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of common abnormalities, including insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, abdominal obesity, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels, elevated triglycerides, and hypertension. Incidence is increasing in line with the number of people who are overweight or obese.
