Contradicts. Daily or regular-use measures in other surveys are lower: the Harris Poll found 71% regularly use dietary supplements, and CDC NHANES 2017–2018 found 57.6% used any supplement in the past 30 days.[2][3]
Supports. An Ipsos/Amway 2024 survey, as reported by a blog, found 77% of participants take at least one dietary supplement daily.[4]
Supports. A 2026 Pew survey found 78% of U.S. adults are currently taking supplements for their health, close to the claimed figure but not specifically daily use.[5]
Context. CRN surveys report nearly three-quarters of Americans taking supplements (77% in 2019, 73% in 2020), but these measure general use rather than daily use.[1]
