While consumers have been increasingly interested in CBD, regulatory concerns may have producers taking different paths to market or exploring alternative ingredients. Consumers are seeking more natural ways to address health challenges such as increased stress levels, sleep concerns, inflammation and much more. In recent years, this has seen a boom of products introduced containing hemp extracts, isolated cannabinoids, and related ingredients that can impact the body’s endocannabinoid system. This month, Vitafoods Insights focuses on cannabinoids and CBD, including whitespace, regulatory challenges, and research on efficacy.
