As consumers are becoming more conscious about a variety of health issues and are actively looking to address this by improving their diets, ingredients are deemed central to achieving these improvements, with consumers embracing the concept of positive nutrition. Consumers are now adopting a back-to-basics approach to nutrition and seeking out functional products to boost wellbeing, making transparency and validation of health claims more important than ever for brands.
