Due to an increased amount of research on the microbiome, consumer awareness about digestive health and its connection to overall health has increased in recent years. Unsurprisingly, digestive health was one of the largest dietary supplement categories worldwide in 2022.
Consumers recognize the link between the gut and overall health and are placing upper digestive issues as their top future health concern. They are turning to supplements to address their digestive issues and are becoming increasingly fond of products based on biotic ingredients.
