Half the world's population  experiences difficulty swallowing pills, a condition known as pill-related dysphagia. Three hundred million people older than 65 face this problem, although it affects people of all ages and causes millions to skip taking necessary nutrients. In addition, most older people have nutrient absorption issues that affect health and quality of life not only for them but also for family and caregivers.Now, Boncha Boncha turns supplements into dysphagia-friendly candy pills. Many sub-optimal health conditions can be alleviated and improved with nutritional supplements. The company initially is collaborating with nutritional brands and targeting seniors in eight health categories that have a broad and profound influence on daily life, such as eye care, joint care, immune balance, and gastrointestinal health.
