Summary
A 25-year analysis of national health data reveals that supplement use among U.S. adults has steadily climbed since 1999, reaching 60% by 2023. While overall supplement consumption is rising, the classic daily multivitamin is declining in popularity as Americans increasingly turn to specialized products like collagen, elderberry, probiotics, and ashwagandha. Older Americans are leading this trend, shifting from one-size-fits-all multivitamins to targeted single-nutrient and functional supplements.
