WPE&WHPE 2026 World Expo for Natural Health Ingredients officially kicks off today at Xi’an International Convention & Exhibition Center. Driven by the upgrading of public health consumption, refined consumer demands, diversified efficacy requirements and higher?end safety standards are fueling continuous technological innovation across the functional nutrition industry. Three core development paths have taken shape for industrial innovation: natural raw materials, multi?ingredient synergism, and targeted delivery.

Natural active raw materials have become the mainstream for innovation in this sector. The market shows growing interest in botanically?derived functional ingredients supported by evidence?based science, and plant extracts together with bioactive substances serve as key drivers for product innovation. Human sleep is regulated by the coordination of multiple physiological systems, and single raw materials can hardly address the complex sleep disturbances of modern people. Accordingly, R&D focus in the industry is gradually shifting toward multi?target formulation to achieve comprehensive conditioning through multi?component synergies. Meanwhile, numerous natural active ingredients are constrained by bottlenecks including stability, solubility and in?vivo absorption. Targeted delivery technology has therefore become critical to overcoming industrialization challenges. Natural Field Co., Ltd. has independently developed the NF co?loading^® co?delivery technology platform, which enables targeted delivery of raw materials, maximizes bioactivity release, and supports downstream partners to develop highly differentiated sleep?health end?products.

During the exhibition, the *2026 Innovation Forum for Brain Health, Sleep and Mood Applications* will be held concurrently from 13:00 to 16:00 on August 24. Professor Li Chong, Head of Functional Raw Material R&D Center at Natural Field Co., Ltd., Doctoral Supervisor from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Southern Medical University, will deliver a keynote speech titled *From Natural?Activity Innovation to Targeted Delivery: Exploration and Practice of the NF TriSolve^® Sleep?Health Solution*.

The speech will interpret global development trends of the sleep industry and conduct an in?depth analysis of the application value of Ashwagandha in stress relief and sleep regulation. Combined with the company’s in?house R&D practices, it will fully unpack the NF TriSolve^® sleep?health solution, covering natural?activity screening, scientific multi?component formulation and liposomal co?loading technology. Efficacy verification data and insights for industrial implementation will also be presented.

Industry peers unable to attend on?site may watch the forum livestream via the WeChat Video Account of Food Research Hub FTA. We sincerely welcome all industry partners to visit and communicate. Natural Field Co., Ltd. looks forward to collaborating with stakeholders across the industrial chain to unlock more innovative opportunities for functional nutrition.
