Ashland Global Holdings Inc. (ASH - Free Report) recently introduced Nutrapress organic chewable base, geared for chewable dietary supplements. It consists of an organic binder, sweetener, flow aid as well as lubricant and is a complete system for nutraceuticals producers.

Ashland stated that consumer demand for organic products is on the rise. It has developed an organic chewable base system, which boosts the efficacy while refining the utility of its customers’ products to reliably and efficiently manufacture organic chewable tablets.
