Consumers in the Baltics are becoming more conscious of the ingredients in the products they consume and are actively seeking out options that are free from artificial additives and preservatives. This has led to an increase in the demand for vitamins and minerals derived from natural sources, such as fruits, vegetables, and herbs.Another trend in the market is the rise of personalized nutrition.
