    The Digestives & Intestinal Remedies market in Turkey is experiencing steady growth due to customer preferences for natural and herbal remedies, as well as an increasing awareness of digestive health.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Turkey are increasingly seeking natural and herbal remedies for digestive issues. This preference for natural products is driven by a growing awareness of the potential side effects of synthetic medications and a desire for more holistic approaches to healthcare. Additionally, customers are becoming more proactive in managing their digestive health and are willing to invest in products that can help prevent and alleviate common digestive issues.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Digestives & Intestinal Remedies market in Turkey is the growing demand for probiotics. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are beneficial for digestive health. They can help restore the natural balance of bacteria in the gut and alleviate symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Probiotics are increasingly being incorporated into a variety of products, including yogurts, drinks, and supplements, to cater to the growing demand.Another trend in the market is the rise of digestive enzyme supplements. These supplements contain enzymes that help break down food and improve digestion. They are particularly popular among individuals with specific dietary restrictions or digestive disorders, such as lactose intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome. The convenience and effectiveness of these supplements make them a popular choice among consumers.
