Fact.MR says the growth can be attributed to increasing adoption of nutraceutical supplements as pharmaceutical alternatives, increasing healthcare costs and rising consumer preference for simple over-the-counter medicines, and significant R&D investments in identifying the role of nutraceutical supplements in health concerns such as obesity, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
