Omega-3 advocacy group, GOED, has shared the findings of a series of surveys conducted by Toluna, a consumer research company, with respect to consumer attitude and lifestyle changes in Europe, the Americas and Asia related to COVID-19.

Highlights from the most recent set of findings, which compares findings to a survey completed in March include:

  • Double digit increases in nutritional supplement usage across all markets surveyed, averaging 29%. [Slide 1]
