CRN members (and the public) now have easy access to reliable data on the economic impact of the dietary supplement industry in the U.S.—and the impact is significant. According to the new economic study issued by CRN, the dietary supplement industry contributes $121.6 billion to the U.S. economy, creates 754,645 jobs nationwide, and pays $38.4 billion in wages.

Additionally, the industry contributes nearly $15 billion in business taxes—federal and state—not including taxes collected on product sales. This new interactive web resource allows users to find specific data on particular states and Congressional districts. CRN encourages industry stakeholders to make use of this information when meeting with state and federal policy makers, as sharing the industry’s economic contributions can make an impression on future regulation. Read more in CRN’s press release and in the news.

As CRN President & CEO Steve Mister notes, “With the completion of this new report, CRN can demonstrate a trifecta of data about dietary supplements and the people who take them.”

1. More than 150 million Americans take dietary supplements for the health benefits they provide.
   
   
2. Supplements offer tremendous potential for societal health care cost savings.
   
   
3. The industry makes vital contributions to the economy at large. What’s good for your health is also very good for America’s wallet.”
