Supplements for brain health

Management of cognitive issues on the rise, mental health top of mind

The management of cognitive issues has increased 204% among the population since 2010, and 47% from 2019 to 2022, observed Steve French of the Natural Marketing Institute, in a Natural Products Insider article.

What they’re saying: “The events of the last few years have created even further concern around cognitive function as approximately 2 out of 5 consumers (38%) reported they have seen a negative impact on their mental and emotional well-being since the onset of the pandemic in 2020,” said French.

Yes, and: Data from CRN’s Consumer Survey on Dietary Supplements indicate the top reasons people who use supplements specifically for brain health are:

  • Mental focus/concentration/attention—70%

  • Improved memory—67%

  • Improved cognition—53%

  • Improved sleep—52%

  • And more!

That’s not all: The consumer survey offers unique insights into supplement usage, attitudes, sources of information about supplements, purchasing habits, and more.
