What’s in Your Bottle? The Role of E-commerce in the Dietary Supplement Market

  • Katie Banaszewski, Sr. Director of Quality at Now Foods  
  • One Liberty Plaza

In recent years, the dietary supplement industry has experienced explosive growth, which could be attributed in part to the increased adoption of e-commerce and online platforms. Demand for supplements, primarily driven by an aging population, combined with the ease to purchase health products from the comfort of one’s home, have been key driving factors in market growth. Although strictly regulated, a lack of regulatory enforcement permits products that are not in line with FDA requirements to enter the market and compete with legitimate goods. While some trade associations and individual companies, like NOW, have taken steps to expose the bad players, FDA and e-commerce platforms have not acted on this growing concern.
