dietary supplement

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 study suggests a widely used dietary supplement may increase muscle strength even in people who do not exercise, according to coverage by ScienceAlert. The finding is striking because supplements are typically marketed as aids to training rather than replacements for it, and researchers caution that more work is needed to confirm the effect in humans.

A new market forecast projects steady growth in the global dietary supplements industry through 2035, driven largely by demand for personalized nutrition products and gut health supplements such as probiotics. The report, published by market analyst IndexBox, points to rising consumer interest in tailored health solutions and digestive wellness as the main engines of expansion over the next decade.
