Introducing: the most popular supplements

The supplement market is continuously growing, but which supplements are actually the most popular ones?

This may have led to more exercising and thus making magnesium an important supplement for physically active people.


Consumers seem to prefer combined preparations over single ingredients in order to cover more vitamin and mineral demands at once. The increased amount of people with a vegan diet may be the reason why products with B-vitamins performed very well lately, because this group of vitamins is most likely to be underrepresented in a sole plant-based nutrition.

But new dosage such as chewable jelly gums conquer the market rapidly. Click here to find out more about the new chew gums!


Considering the current inflation rate, the increasing turnover is even more valuable. This is not only an economically positive effect, but also personal as it shows a growing awareness for physical health. Most of the turnover is earned in drug stores, followed by grocery stores and pharmacies. Also, the market is highly fragmented indicating that smaller and more individual businesses find and serve their niches.
