The Rise of Herbal Products in Functional Foods and Beverages
Herbal formulations are gaining popularity due to increasing awareness of their preventive health benefits. Whether it's turmeric in immunity-boosting drinks or ashwagandha in stress-relief supplements, botanicals are now at the forefront of food innovation. However, the development of effective and compliant herbal formulations demands expertise in multiple domains – from pharmacognosy and food science to regulatory affairs.
This is where our Herbal product Development and Innovation Consultants services & solutions become essential. We ensure your product is effective, safe, scalable, and compliant with global standards.
