Europe Lipid Market Trends
Growing Demand for Omega 3 and Omega 6 Products
Omega-3 fatty acids are prominently segmented in two major categories, Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexanoic acid (DHA). DHA has a major share in the omega-3 fatty acids market, followed by EPA. The majority of the products available in the market are fortified with either DHA or EPA, which are the two most essential fatty acids. Moreover, EPA and DHA have numerous scientifically proven health benefits, which make them the preferred omega fatty acids. Linoleic acid accounts for 85-90% of dietary omega-6 fatty acids. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes could be significantly reduced by eating a diet, rich in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats. Most dietary supplements have a medium concentration of omega-3 capsules. The medium concentration of omega-3 capsules is the most selling consumer product.

Increased Utilization in Nutrition and Supplements
The term 'lipid-based nutrient supplements' (LNS) refers generically to a range of fortified, lipid-based products, including products like Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) (a large daily ration with relatively low micronutrient concentration) as well as highly-concentrated supplements (1-4 teaspoons/day, providing < 100 kcal/day) to be used for 'point-of-use' fortification and RUTF have been successfully used for the management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) among children in emergency settings. LNS has been used to treat moderate acute malnutrition; however, there is no consensus on it being more effective than CSB (Corn soy blend). LNS is given in smaller doses, more so because they are more concentrated. These supplements are designed to provide 50 to 100% of the day's energy requirements.
