Herbal/traditional dietary supplements remains the largest and most dynamic category within herbal/traditional products, with the category driven by new launches and a greater focus on preventative health. For example, in February 2020, Evalar ZAO launched a new form of its popular laxative Fitolax, marmalade berries, which is based on rhubarb root, a component with a gentle laxative effect.
Herbal/traditional products remains highly fragmented in 2021, with Mondelez Rus OOO retaining the lead thanks to the popularity of its Halls brand. The relatively strong performance of the company, and leading position of Halls, is underpinned by high brand awareness amongst Russians, a wide product portfolio with various flavours and well-developed retail distribution.

Russians tend to value pharmacological preparations with chemical elements higher than natural ones due to their perceived faster results and greater efficacy.

Most consumers still prefer to use standard digestive remedies due to their perceived greater efficacy, but there are still seen to be opportunities for herbal/traditional alternatives, especially when it comes to laxatives.
