Additionally, growing scientific validation of multistrain efficacy in improving gut microbiota, immunity, and metabolic health is strengthening consumer trust and driving widespread adoption.

Dietary supplements lead the market with a 39.4% share in 2026, supported by established consumer awareness, premium pricing, and strong distribution networks.
