dietary supplement

A new study reports that a widely used dietary supplement can increase muscle strength even in people who do not exercise, according to ScienceAlert. If confirmed, the finding could have significant implications for older adults, people with limited mobility, and the fitness supplement industry. Details of which supplement was tested and the size of the effect were not provided.

A major new review has concluded that common bone health supplements, such as calcium and vitamin D, do little to prevent fractures. The findings challenge widespread advice to take these supplements for bone strength, particularly among older adults at risk of osteoporosis. Health commentators are weighing what this means for current prevention guidelines and whether dietary sources might matter more than pills.

A new market outlook projects steady growth in the global dietary supplements industry through 2035, driven largely by personalized nutrition and rising consumer interest in gut health products such as probiotics. Analysts say demand for tailored vitamin and wellness formulations is reshaping the market, with companies expected to invest in customized offerings and digestive health ingredients over the coming decade.
