BioFilm

The lifestyle and nutraceuticals market was the first to move into thin film format after breath fresheners with a range of fast dissolving strip products which incorporated actives such as vitamins, herbal extracts and non herbal extracts. The market for these types of product is in excess of $15bn worldwide. The fast dissolving strip format allows brand extension for products in these categories and can be used to reach a particular age group with a range of aphrodisiacs, appetite suppressants, energy boosters and vitamins.
