An Overview of The Most Popular Nutritional Supplements

Article Summary:

  • There is an increasing demand for nutritional supplements containing plant-based ingredients sourced and manufactured ethically and delivered through novel methods for optimal absorption and efficacy. 
  • Nutritional supplements for stress support, immune function, gut health, sleep support, and weight management are expected to be the most popular nutritional supplements. 
  • Tesseract’s proprietary delivery technology ensures targeted delivery and maximum absorption of natural ingredients of the highest purity.

There has been significant interest in nutritional supplements in recent years, particularly among the aging population. More individuals are exploring alternative approaches to conventional therapies, and nutritional supplements are an obvious choice. As consumers become increasingly conscious of their health and well-being, they consistently focus on personalized supplements tailored to meet an individual’s specific nutritional needs. Also, there is a growing shift toward supplements that are naturally sourced and manufactured ethically and sustainably.   

Nutritional supplements, such as multivitamins/minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics, are among the most popular supplements used by adults, especially older ones. So, which supplements are expected to be in demand? Below, we discuss several of the most popular nutritional supplements and why you should consider including advanced supplement formulations in your diet.       

What are the Most Popular Nutritional Supplements?

The popularity of a nutritional supplement depends on the health functions it supports. For example, there was a peak demand for immune-supporting supplements during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we saw berberine trending on social media for its benefits for weight management in 2023. The following table highlights what we think will be the most popular nutritional supplements currently and the health functions they support. 

The Most Popular Nutritional Supplements

Health Function

Nutritional Supplement

Stress Support*

Omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins support cognitive function, memory, and stress management.* Endocannabinoids, such as anandamide, address anxiety (non-General Anxiety Disorder), stress, and mood changes to promote mental health and emotional well-being.*  

Immune Support*

Immune support supplements containing ingredients such as curcumin, quercetin, berberine, vitamin C, and vitamin D are expected to be in demand.*  

Gut Health*

Nutrients, including butyric acid, ginger, cinnamon, orange, lavender, bitter orange, clove, oregano, and thyme, have well-recognized benefits in promoting gastrointestinal health.* Butyric acid is the critical energy source for colonocytes (the epithelial cells that line the colon) and helps maintain a healthy  gut microbiome1.*  

Sleep Support*

Endocannabinoids, particularly anandamide, up-regulate adenosine levels, which exerts sleep-inducing effects.*

Weight Management*

Berberine plays a critical role in helping to maintain healthy blood glucose levels and lipid profiles, which translates to healthy weight management.* 

It should be noted that most of the active nutrients mentioned above display poor absorption and bioavailability, which adversely affects the efficacy of supplement formulations. Several pharmacological approaches have been implemented to achieve optimal solubility and absorption of nutrients through novel delivery methods, such as nanoparticles.   

Including Advanced Supplement Formulations in Your Diet 

The proprietary CyLoc® – DexKey® nutrient delivery nanotechnology developed by Tesseract Medical Research enables unprecedented absorption and targeted delivery of nutrient molecules. The CyLoc® technology encases individual active nutrient molecules in its smart delivery system to mask unpleasant taste and odor while maintaining the integrity of the molecules as they transit through the stomach. The accompanying DexKey® reactors release each molecule at the desired point in the intestinal tract to achieve optimal absorption. 

The following Tesseract formulations contain nutrients that are expected to be in high demand. 

  • AnaQuell®: Anandamide and L-citrulline support a healthy response to stress, anxiety (non-GAD), mood changes, and trauma.* While anandamide exerts an inhibitory effect on anxiousness and promotes a normal sleep cycle, L-citrulline enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to the brain.*   
  • AuRx®: The gold-standard medical food for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) contains a stabilized butyric acid complex to address the specific nutritional requirements of ASD children. AuRx is specially formulated to counteract the gut-brain nutrient imbalance in affected individuals. 
  • BerberActiv®: Berberine supports gastrointestinal and hepatic health while also promoting healthy weight management.* Berberine stimulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the body’s primary energy regulator switch.* AMPK is involved in moderating critical biochemical pathways that benefit blood glucose levels and lipid profiles.*   
  • ProButyrate®: Tesseract’s innovative delivery system masks the unpleasant taste and odor of butyric acid while ensuring its optimal absorption through the gut wall. The formulation supports a healthy inflammatory response in the gastrointestinal tract and promotes a balanced gastrointestinal microbiota.*
  • TetraCumin: The hypoallergenic formulation contains tetrahydrocurcumin — the most bioavailable metabolite of curcumin – to provide antioxidant support and promote healthy immune and inflammatory responses.* The therapeutic properties of tetrahydrocurcumin support immune, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal health.* 
  • QuerciSorb®: It supports healthy blood pressure through optimal vasodilation, inhibits LDL cholesterol oxidation, moderates exaggerated immune responses, and enhances antioxidant support. The formulation also helps provide cytoprotection to support cardiovascular function and immune health.  
  • QuerciSorb® Immuphore SR: Its four ingredients — quercetin, zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D – maintain a healthy inflammatory response and promote immune health.* Tesseract’s proprietary technology achieves optimal absorption of the ingredients, resulting in a more powerful and immediate physiological response.*

All Tesseract products are manufactured following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), including the use of advanced analytical techniques and a well-designed quality control system, making them the most popular nutritional supplements available. 

The power of Tesseract supplements lies in enhancing palatability, maximizing  absorption and bioavailability, and nano-dosing multiple nutrients in a single, highly effective capsule. Shop products on our website and learn more about how they can support your endocrine health.*
