The Health Marketing Daily

The Health Marketing Daily — August 18, 2026 In this episode: • The FDA's approval of peptides for commercial sale — amid conflict-of-interest allegations and unresolved safety concerns — has direct implications for European brands watching how this ingredient category is being regulated on both sides of the Atlantic. • New research showing that daily orange juice consumption influences thousands of genes linked to inflammation and immunity gives functional food and nutraceutical brands compelling new science to build campaigns around flavonoid and polyphenol ingredients. • New UK analysis showing that GLP-1 drugs only deliver net food savings for households earning close to £100,000 signals a major affordability barrier — and a significant market opportunity for lower-cost functional nutrition alternatives positioned at the mass market. • Wildfire seasons are now reliably creating a new consumer health anxiety — and a startup called Climatic is among the first brands to build an entire product and marketing strategy around everyday lung health, signalling the emergence of a credible new supplement and wellness category.
