Age groups enjoy chewables, fast-dissolving tablets, flavored variants, and sugar-free options. Attention is also being gained by pediatric and geriatric formulations for serving vulnerable populations.

Therefore, they lean toward gentler or botanical mixtures. This compels producers toward creation of safer and more see-through goods.
