A new report from PMMI took an in-depth look at the nutraceuticals and determined functional food and beverages impact the market. Makers are moving away from rigid plastic and glass containers in favor of portable stick packs and flexible pouches. Greater mainstream distribution through pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens has driven growth for non-medical products that promote health. Both young millennials and aging baby boomers are leading consumption of these products, which include CBD oil.
