INSIDER surveyed more than 100 dietary supplement companies to find out about their engagement and approach to clinical trials on their products, including how they develop marketing around research results.

Editor's Take

Clinical research has become a vital component of dietary supplement development and marketing. As many supplement companies have increased investments in clinical research on their products, several challenges have emerged, including proper study design and use of borrowed science. Careful research design is important to the significance and application of results, especially in the area of claims. INSIDER set out to get a snapshot of how supplement companies are currently approaching clinical research, including whether companies are funding their own research, how they design studies and what companies do with the results, whether positive or negative findings, including how they develop marketing and claims based on results and how they ensure claims are legal.
