HOW ABOUT VITAMINS THROUGH EATING? P-H-O-O-D-S and B-E-P-H-E-R-A-G-E-S, better known as packaged foods and beverages with a pharmaceutical benefit beyond nutrition is growing into a big niche market according to Packaged Facts. During the five year period from 2002 to 2006, the mass market for PHOODS grew by 30% and Packaged Facts estimates that growth will continue by 10% per year over the next two years and then maintain a 9% growth. PHOODS are perceived as an alternative delivery system for nutritional supplements instead of taking vitamins. The report is available at Packagedfacts.com and Packagedfacts.com.
