3 Health Trends Shaping the Supplement Industry
Sometimes supplements have a way of shaping health trends but often times health trends have a major impact on which supplements gain steam. That’s why it’s important to not only follow supplement trends but health trends as well. With this in mind, you can stay ahead of the competition.
While there are always several health trends to follow at any given time there are some that lend themselves to supplement trends better than others.
Let’s discuss three popular health trends and how they’re shaping the supplement industry.
1. Mental Health Self-Care
Mental health is at the forefront of the media now more than ever. In the past decade mental health awareness has increased significantly. As people become more and more aware of how common mental illness can truly the taboo around the topic has lessened.
People are now more willing to acknowledge mental illness and seek out a solution. These solutions include natural remedies for consumers looking for a more holistic approach that doesn’t involve prescription medications. Innovations include apps for counseling, diet and exercise recommendations and, of course, supplements.
No supplement can take the place of a prescription drug. However, some people with mild symptoms that don’t require medication find that certain supplements make a difference. Many of the most popular supplements are only in the early stages of research because they’re so new. Despite this fact, many of these supplement users swear by their results.
Mental Health Supplements
There are many ingredients that may help to brighten the mood and help relieve stress. While there are a lot of these supplements to choose from, there are two that stand out among the rest: Deep Calm and 5-HTP. For both of these supplements their most popular uses are for mental health purposes.
Deep Calm
Our Deep Calm supplement contains vitamins, minerals and natural herbs. We selected ingredients that are believed to have calming and relaxing benefits. For example vitamin B is important in helping to maintain nerve functions and chamomile tea is often drunk in order to relax the mind and body.

5-HTP
5-hydroxytryptophan is the full name of 5-HTP. It’s an amino acid that is naturally produced by the body unfortunately sometimes the body doesn’t produce enough. This is a problem because the body uses 5-HTP to produce serotonin.
Low serotonin levels are associated with mood issues, stress, mental health, sleep problems and weight gain to name a few. Just like hemp products 5-HTP users swear by this supplement because of the impact they feel it has on their mental well being.

2. Gut Health
Gut health has been underappreciated and misunderstood for a very long time. It’s only been within the last decade or so that researchers and the public have finally realized how critical gut health is to overall health.
Gut health has an impact on:
- Sleep
- Weight
- Appetite
- Mental health
- Skin health
- Immunity
- Mood
While many studies have come out about the importance of gut health over the last several years, it’s still an increasing trend. People are more interested in gut health now than ever making it a great time to get involved in this expanding market.
Gut Health Supplements
There are many foods and drinks that have gut health benefits, like kimchi and kombucha. Unfortunately many average Americans don’t get many of these foods in their diets. That’s why probiotic supplements are popular! In addition, taking a probiotic helps healthy bacteria get right where it needs to be instead of being destroyed.
Probiotic Supplement
Our private label probiotic contains 40 billion CFUs or colony forming units. We’ve included four different strains of healthy bacteria with research to back up their specific benefits. Each one of these strains has benefits ranging from boosting immune health to boosting energy levels.
To make sure that all of these good bacteria make their way to the intestines where they can flourish we use specialized capsules. These Maktrek capsules use Bi-Pass Technology which has a protective layer to ensure the capsule survives the stomach acid.

Ayurvedic medicine has been around for thousands of years but it’s only just starting to make its comeback. One of the main reasons for this ayurveda’s comeback is that modern research is starting to confirm a lot of these ancient practices. Also, like we discussed before, a lot of people are searching for natural ways to promote their health.
Ayurvedic Supplements
Two of the most common and popular ayurvedic supplements are ashwagandha and turmeric. They’re both multifunctional and have a wide range of benefits. Turmeric and ashwagandha also happen to be two of our most popular supplements!
