The global supplements market is growing at a steady rate, majorly due to increasing consumer awareness about preventive healthcare. Mineral supplements are consumed in different forms, such as capsules, pills, powder, gel caps, granules, tablets, and liquid. Mineral supplements such as calcium, phosphorus, chromium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, folic acid, silicon, copper, and cobalt help consumers of different age groups to stay healthy and free from nutrition deficiency diseases. Due to busy lifestyle, many working individuals are unable to follow a regular diet, leading to deficiency of nutrients, including minerals in the body. In order to address the need for nutrients and prevent mineral-deficiency diseases, individuals consume additional food supplements, including mineral supplements. With increasing awareness about daily nutritional requirements, more consumers are expected to start consuming mineral supplements in the coming years thus driving the mineral supplements market. Increasing age has adverse effects on the digestive organs, thus making it difficult in absorbing all the required nutrients from food. With growing age, people also tend to eat less due to loss of appetite. As a result, aging individuals do not get optimal amounts of minerals and other nutrients. Hence, they resort to additional supplements for proper nourishment. Among old age people, weakening of bones, poor eyesight, and poor digestive system are some of the common conditions. In order to remain fit and desired to live long, their dependency towards mineral supplements is growing.

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is collected from the umbilical cord of a newborn baby and also retrieved from the placenta after delivery. It is enriched with adult stem cells and these stem cells play a vital role in regulating all biological activities and in developing tissues in the human body. Many types of stem cells are present in UCB including hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all the other blood cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are severely damaged in people suffering from bone marrow diseases, malignancies, inherited metabolic disorders, and immunological disorders. Mesenchymal stem cells are involved in the development of tissues such as cartilage, bone, fat, new blood vessels, and cardiac muscles.

A computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system is a healthcare information system which captures, stores, manages and transmits medical practitioner's instructions electronically, for the treatment of patients. These systems reduce medication errors and improving the quality of care given to patients. This is done by decreasing delay in order completion, reducing errors related to handwriting, providing error checking for incorrect doses or tests and by reducing treatment costs. Computerized physician order entry systems ensure proper collection and exchange of patient's health data between hospitals, laboratories or clinics. A computerized physician order entry system is an integrated system which is generally paired with some type of clinical decision support system (CDSS) and electronic health record (EHR) system. This integration helps to deliver coordinated patient care services. It also promotes continuity of care for each patient during the entire course of illness. Integration also assures that healthcare facilities are delivered in the most cost-effective way.

Osteoporosis is a progressive, skeletal disease, leading to fragile and abnormally porous bones. It is characterized by decrease in bone density, strength, and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue resulting in thinning or weakening of bones with an increased propensity of fractures. Primary and secondary osteoporosis are the major types of osteoporosis. Some of the factors leading to osteoporosis are genetic factor, aging, lack of calcium and vitamin D, smoking, lack of exercise, low body weight, excessive alcohol consumption, history of rheumatoid arthritis, menopause, and certain medication. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed using X-ray and can be confirmed by bone density scan. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the common bone density test used to measure the density of bones. Treatment for osteoporosis begins with a change in lifestyle and diet. It can be prevented and treated with the help of calcium and vitamin D supplements, exercise, and osteoporosis medications. Prevalence of osteoporosis is high among people aged 60 years and above. Moreover, estrogen plays a vital role in regulating the bone growth process in women. Post menopause, bone breakdown outpaces the building of new bone matter. The rate of bone loss in women increases after menopause, leading to the threat of developing osteoporosis.
