The Best Supplements to Try in 2026

Words by Maya Avram and Nasreen Osman

According to The Business of Fashion and McKinsey, the global wellness market now exceeds $2 trillion, with supplements being a key growth driver. This is driven not by novelty, but rather by a motivation to support skin, hair and nail health from within, be it through collagen supplements, targeted vitamins or gut‑supporting formulas designed for long‑term wellbeing.

‘Metabolic beauty’, a term coined by forecasting agency Mintel, considers glowing skin and glossy hair as reflections of your overall health. The trend, which is predicted to define the industry in the year ahead, ushers in a thoughtful approach to supplements that favours personalisation over prescription, and intention over excess.

Yet with the market offering everything from skin‑boosting actives to pre- and probiotics, figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming. To help cut through the noise, we’ve created an expert guide to the most considered luxury supplements for your skin, hair and everyday vitality.

Skincare may lay the foundation for a hydrated, harmonious complexion but to take things to the next level, consider turning your routine into a multi-layered ritual. Working beneath the surface, supplements support the skin’s natural functions, enhance luminosity, and promote long-term resilience. “By nourishing the body from within, supplements can support collagen synthesis, cellular renewal, antioxidant defence and metabolic balance,” explains Dr Patrick Schwarzentruber, chief scientist at Niance Switzerland. These processes, he notes, have a profound impact on the skin’s look and feel.

Niance Switzerland’s Epigen12 Cell Renewal Capsules draw on the brand’s pioneering ‘14 Hallmarks of Ageing’ framework, targeting markers like fine lines, inflammation and epigenetic changes that compromise elasticity and vitality. For those seeking clarity, Equi London’s Beauty Formula 30-Day Capsules offer a 360° approach, addressing breakouts, hormonal imbalances and gut health for a balanced, radiant complexion.

“Hair and nails are often a window to our overall health,” says Sarah Carolides, head of nutrition at YourZooki. She too points to collagen as a cornerstone nutrient for strength and shine, with the brand’s highly-concentrated Liposomal Super Strength Marine Collagen Liquid Sachets offering targeted support for both.

Alongside collagen, nutrients such as biotin, keratin and omega‑3 fatty acids play a key role in maintaining long, lustrous strands, helping to minimise breakage, encourage growth and support scalp health. Louise O’Riordan, co-founder of Sisterly, explains: “Hair supplements work by supporting keratin production, reducing oxidative stress and nourishing hair follicles at a cellular level.” For a comprehensive approach, Sisterly’s The Elevator combines 23 expert-selected nutrients to strengthen both hair and nails. Meanwhile, Wild Nutrition’s Complete Beauty Support delivers vitamins C and E – essential for collagen formation – alongside biotin, selenium and zinc to promote resilient strands and nails.

Wellness means different things to everyone. For some, it’s about lowering stress levels; for others, it’s all about gut health, energy and sleep – or all of the above. Yet these pillars are deeply interconnected. “Stress isn’t just mental – it’s biochemical,” explains Lucy Goff, founder and CEO of Lyma. “Chronic stress affects cortisol levels, contributes to inflammation and impacts sleep quality, energy levels and immune function.” Lyma’s supplements offer targeted nutritional support to help regulate psychological function, reduce fatigue and protect cells from oxidative stress; the essence of balance.

O’Riordan echoes this sentiment, noting that modern living – with its elevated stress levels, environmental pollutants and nutrient-poor diets – can create gaps that compromise overall wellbeing. The solution? Look for supplements that take a holistic approach. Sisterly’s The Elevator is designed specifically for women, supporting hormonal balance, boosting energy and aiding collagen renewal. For stress relief and sleep support, Clinique La Prairie’s Holistic Health Balance Rest & Reset 2-Month Supplement is a standout.

You may have also heard about adaptogens, active ingredients found in certain plants and, commonly, mushrooms. As Laura Dowling, pharmacist and founder of FabÜ, explains, “Adaptogens help to regulate stress hormones and can be taken daily.” Hifas da Terra champions the revitalising power of medicinal mushrooms, while Mikei’s Red Reishi Essence Capsules support the immune system. They are even more effective when combined with other nutrients. “Pairing them with vitamins like magnesium enhances their calming effects,” she adds.

Expert-led treatments in combination with an efficient supplement regime can really turbocharge your pathway to optimal health by improving circulation, regulating stress levels and supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes.
