The Health Marketing Daily — August 21, 2026
In this episode:
• Regulatory clearance of Danone's €1 billion Huel acquisition is the biggest structural deal in European functional nutrition this year and sets a new benchmark for category consolidation.
• Supplement brand IM8 is replacing the traditional paid celebrity endorsement with an equity stake model — a structural shift in how health and wellness brands buy credibility.
• Nestlé placing its GO Healthy supplement brand under strategic review signals that even the world's largest food company is questioning where supplements fit in its long-term portfolio — with implications for the whole category.
• A public debate between longevity researchers and nutrition experts over protein restriction is creating real confusion in a category where protein and healthy ageing brands are surging.
