Social has acted as an accelerant, making it accessible and crucially, visible, while tech and data have made it trackable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a consumer, supplement brands are an easy way into the aspirational world of health and wellness as taking them requires minimal effort. Ragged Edge has been part of a handful of recent branding projects in this space including Heights and Zoe, and Ottignon believes that \u201ctaking your AG1 in the morning is a way to tell yourself you\u2019re looking after yourself\u201d, and the purchase of these various powders and capsules has started to act as a \u201cstatus symbol\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Supplements used to have a reputation for catering solely towards the 60+ age group. The ailments they targeted, the packaging they were housed in, the way they were marketed was all to a generation where healthy living was a functional part of life and not an all-out lifestyle. So the shift around supplements now offering so much more has created opportunities for brands to rejuvenate the category. \u201cSupplement brands had been stuck in uninspiring stasis. Gym products like protein and creatine were unashamedly macho. Vitamin brands were uninspiring, functional, and looked like they were aimed at your grandparents. There was a huge gap in the market. It didn\u2019t take long to get filled,\u201d says Ottignon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-260907 lazyload\" alt=\"Ragged Edge Heights supplements\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-img-id=\"260907\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/02_Heights_HeroImage.jpg\"  data-\/>Top and Above: Heights branding, Ragged Edge<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t \tSign in <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CR speaks branding agencies Ragged Edge and Love Child for a look at how supplements have evolved into&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260008,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[102,6636,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-260007","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-nutrition","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
