May/June 2016: The Trust Issue
The supplement industry is far from monolithic. On matters of science it can seem downright schizophrenic.

sk an aging Gen X-er or Baby Boomer what they’d most like to improve about their health, and you’ll probably get a wish list that goes something like this: Lose 10 pounds. Stop forgetting where I left my keys. Have more sex (or, specifically, more sex drive).
The lure of the third rail
Closing in on $39 billion, the supplement industry revealed a kind of resilience in 2015, but a resilience that is both unremarkable in the broad view and perhaps counterintuitive in the finer points.
Overall, NBJ estimates the market grew 5.9 percent to $38.8 billion in a year punctuated by a steady stream of negative headlines. That growth may seem a small uptick from the 5.1 percent in 2014, but, against the assumptions of many, the categories that took the most heat also showed the most growth.
