About 6 in 10 Prioritize Health Supplements More Than Beauty Supplements

Health and beauty supplements have gained popularity due to the rise of lifestyle-related diseases and the desire to look and feel good. Health supplements provide additional nutritional support, while beauty supplements are specifically formulated to enhance the health and appearance of skin, hair, and nails.

Consumers’ preferences between the two have become increasingly important, and how they consume and make purchasing decisions for these supplements is changing.
