Supplements: The Hidden Goldmine in Your Practice
Why Supplements Are a Game-Changer for Your Clinic

The supplement industry is a rapidly growing market, valued at over $481 billion globally in 2024 and projected to reach $816.57 billion by 2033 [1]. Despite this growth, only 10% of supplement sales come from healthcare providers [1], leaving clinics with untapped revenue potential. Patients are already buying supplements—so why not ensure they’re getting high-quality, clinically-backed products from a trusted source: your clinic? By offering supplements, clinics can improve patient outcomes while generating recurring revenue streams [2].
