# Immunity-Boosting Chewing Gums Immuno Gum is Designed to Help Support the Immune System By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-06-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immuno-gum References: [trndmonitor](https://trndmonitor.com/company-spotlight-doctor-oneils-immuno-gum/) & [immuno-gum](http://www.immuno-gum.com/) 'Immuno Gum' is a new brand of chewing gum that is specially designed to help support a healthy immune system. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for functional food products that do more than just provide sustenance. Now there is a chewing gun that helps to keep consumers healthy while also freshening their breath. Immuno Gum is a special type of chewing gum made with six ingredients that support a healthy immune system: zinc, vitamin C, elderberry, eleuthero, echinacea and astragalus. Because the ingredients are combined in the form of gum, they fully coat the throat of those chewing it. As a result, the gum serves as a more effective way to consume the ingredients when compared to a drink or nasal spray. The immunity-boosting gum demonstrates the growing demand for functional products that help consumers get more out of the foods they consume. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Functional Food Products:** Opportunity to develop more functional food products that provide health benefits beyond sustenance. - **Alternative Delivery Methods:** Opportunity to explore alternative delivery methods for consuming beneficial ingredients, such as chewing gums. - **Immunity-boosting Products:** Opportunity to create more products specifically designed to boost the immune system. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for the food and beverage industry to develop new functional food products. - **Pharmaceutical and Supplements:** Opportunity for the pharmaceutical and supplements industry to explore alternative delivery methods for beneficial ingredients. - **Oral Care:** Opportunity for the oral care industry to develop more immunity-boosting oral care products like chewing gums. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [13-in-1 Immunity Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immun.md) - [Immunity-Boosting Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immunityboosting-gummies.md) - [Immune Support Oral Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immunity-support-oral-spray.md) - [Vitamin-Packed Immune Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emergen-c.md) - [Immune System-Supporting Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zicam-daily-immune-support.md) - [Fruity Chewable Synbiotics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummiotics.md) - [Immunity-Focused Capsule Formulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immy.md) - [Sugarless Vitamin-Enriched Gums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentos-gum-with-vitamins.md) - [Immunobiotic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inner-immune-by-nouri.md)
