Brain health is gaining traction in younger audiences as a means to sharpen focus and enhance memory. After strong years in 2020 and 2021, mood and mental health has declined more than expected. These are just two of the 22 conditions Nutrition Business Journal tracks each year to contextualize shifts in condition focus so the industry can understand the why in consumer spending.
