Google Analytics 4 (GA4) estimates the age and gender of some of your visitors. That tells you who you’re actually building your website for, and for vitamin and supplement businesses the answer is older than most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diib looked at the latest GA4 age and gender data (each site’s most recent report in the 90 days up to October 2026) for websites connected to Diib. Each site’s share is measured among visits where GA4 knew the visitor’s age and gender, and we compared the median site in each group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An older audience doesn’t mean a desktop audience. Over the most recent 30 days of data (ending mid-October 2026), phones brought 46%<\/strong> of visits to the median supplement website (340 sites), versus 37%<\/strong> for all 65,703 sites. Supplement sites had a higher phone share in all 12 of those months as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is aggregated Diib data from websites connected to Diib, so it reflects those businesses, not every supplement brand. GA4 only reports age and gender for some visitors, so the shares describe the visits it could identify. Phone share is measured across all visitors, not by age. A likely explanation is that health and nutrition questions tend to matter more with age, but the data shows who visits, not why, or whether those visitors buy more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the typical vitamin and supplement website connected to Diib, about 11% of visits come from people 65 and older, roughly double the typical website.
