How Americans Use AI for Everyday Health

That's not all. A quarter (24%) of users use AI to fact-check information they hear from doctors, friends, or social media.
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Many people trust AI for their health than social media
Surprisingly, trust in AI is rising quickly. Approximately 63% of Americans feel that AI can trust health guidance. This is more than people who trust social media (43%) or influencers (41%), but less than people who depend on doctors (93%) or friends (82%). And when it becomes convenient, AI earns points. About a third (31%) of users say they prefer to ask AI over Google searches. Most people (27%) say it's easier than getting advice from a medical professional.

Other findings from the Trends Report are shown:
- 51% are more aware of peptides than they were five years ago.
- 66% add protein to their diet.
- 54% prioritize sleep and rest more than training.
- 44% have reconciled with aging, but are trying to fight aggressively.
These changes reflect a broader view of Wellness1, which balances physical, mental and emotional health.

Supplements and Smart Health Trends for 2025
Supplements are at the heart of many routines. Approximately 69% of Americans currently employ them. Also, 34% say it's easier than ever to stick to supplement plans thanks to new distribution options such as Gummies, Chews and Liquids. Meanwhile, experimental adaptive agents such as Shilajit have become popular among younger consumers. Innovations like NAD+ for lifespan and peptides for recovery are seeing an increase in demand. “AI is just a small part of the evolution of much larger wellness,” explains Muriel Gonzalez, president of Vitamin Shop.
