Vitamin Sales Boom as Consumers Seek Cheap Dietary Gains

April 11, 2009: 12:57 PM EST
Vitamin sales are booming in Korea and the US as people seek cheap ways to boost their nutrition during the recession. Sales of vitamins in the US increased 8 percent between October and December last year compared with the previous year, according to one market researcher. The rise is in contrast to sales of other items, including food, clothes and home appliances, which are dropping as unemployment levels rise and incomes fall. Some experts have issued warnings that taking vitamins may obscure the existence of a serious disease, because they are known to boost physical strength and alleviate a number of ailments.
