Functional Ingredients

What challenges does the CBD market face currently?
As Jade mentioned, the CBD market could be deemed to be working in the grey area, so what other areas need addressing if this regulation is to work? Questions arise as to how much CBD would be required in a product to then be able to state it is “functional” and if there is clinical evidence for consumers. Even now, vitamin supplements in the form of gummies have shown to be popular to consumers as we crave more confectionery than ever, but warnings with how the gummies for CBD can be marketed is already an issue. Anything that looks like something for a child e.g. a bear would not be allowed to be sold.
