Máté Szász
head of CEE sales
SCITEC Kft.
According to the experts of SCITEC Magyarország, sales of special active ingredients and mono-component products (vitamin D3, vitamin K2, zinc, chromium, etc.) are greatly influenced by shopper knowledge – consumers tend to learn about such products by themselves. Máté Szász, head of CEE sales told our magazine that the vitamin market is expanding, because more and more people are health-conscious and they also trust the sector more than before.
Scitec Nutrition is one of Europe’s leading sport nutrition and dietary supplement companies. One of the most important product types they sell is vitamins and minerals – this is the group where omega-3 products, various vegetable oils (e.g. Yucca, milk thistle, linseed etc.) also belong. Mr Szász revealed that there is growing demand for free-from and organic products. Recently Scitec launched a product line that was developed especially for professional athletes, called Athletic Line. Products in the Scitec Green Series range contain very clean, concentrated, high-potential organic active ingredients. One of these is Vita Greens & Fruits that contains 37 organic herb components.

Nelli Kadlok
PR manager
Rossmann Magyarország
According to Nelli Kadlok, PR manager of Rossmann Magyarország Kft., the market of vitamins and dietary supplements is very much seasonal: sales surge in the autumn-winter period for products that strengthen the immune system, while in the spring weight-loss products are popular. In 2017 sales of Rossmann developed above the market average. At a national level weight-loss product sales only rose by 0.8 percent, what is more, fewer products were sold than in the previous year.

Ágnes Vattamány
marketing specialist
Bio-Fungi
On the list of so-called superfoods we find cranberries and other berries, oilseeds, vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc.), citrus fruits, sea fish (trout, mackerel, sardines, etc.), chocolate with high cocoa content and common mushroom. We learned from Ágnes Vattamány, marketing specialist of Bio-Fungi Kft. that 100g of common mushroom contains many from all the vitamins (B2, B3, B5, D) and minerals (copper, selenium, phosphorus, kalium) a person needs a day. Recently the company has put two new mushroom product lines on the market: 120g Amigo – our mushroom sandwich spreads with 55-percent fresh mushroom content, made exclusively from natural ingredients; and also under the Amigo – our mushroom brand name they started selling various dried mushrooms. //
