After the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the population became more alert regarding their immunity. Attention to health preservation became an important factor in family environments, at work, and among friends. A good diet, regular sleep, and physical activity became among the most discussed topics and turned into guidelines for seeking immunity that protects against viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.
The functioning of the immune system also depends on several factors, in addition to the care mentioned above, and depending on the organism and age, it may not function fully, as explained by endocrinologist Gisele Lorenzoni. “With aging or depending on the disease or infection, cells deteriorate and need external assistance,” she explains. According to Farmacro's CEO, Aníbal Neri, nutraceuticals are also gaining space at this moment: “Supplements such as vitamins, probiotics, and mineral salts come into play, which will strengthen the body and immunity,” guarantees the pharmaceutical market entrepreneur.
Aníbal reports that after the pandemic, the number of nutraceuticals sold in licensed Farmacro pharmacies grew by 58%. “People started to take better care of themselves, and with the concern of contracting the Coronavirus, they began to seek supplements like Vitamins C and D, which act in prevention and strengthening, and for those who had Covid, after recovering from the disease, there was an increased demand for supplements for hair, nails, etc.,” highlights Neri. Proof of this is the increase in demand and investment: “We launched 25 new products and an exclusive line for the network, NatusViron, which has been a success,” he points out.
