Market Overview

Herbal supplements are plant-based dietary products formulated from herbs, botanical extracts, or plant parts such as roots, leaves, seeds, or flowers. They are used to promote health, prevent deficiencies, or support the body’s natural functions. Available in forms like capsules, tablets, powders, and liquids, herbal supplements deliver bioactive compounds that may provide therapeutic effects when used appropriately. The Brazil herbal supplement market is growing due to increasing consumer preference for natural and plant-based health products, rising awareness of preventive healthcare, and strong demand for immunity-boosting supplements. Expanding e-commerce, wider product availability in pharmacies, and supportive regulations for herbal and traditional medicines further stimulate market expansion. Growing disposable income and urban lifestyles also enhance adoption across the country. Government policies and supportive regulatory environments are another driver of the Brazil herbal supplements market. The government is increasingly encouraging the adoption of traditional medication and herbal medicine as part of its wider public health policy.

For instance, in December 2025, Anvisa launched three public consultations to update Brazil's regulatory framework for herbal medicines, including registration processes, restrictions, and lists of pesticide residues. This move intends to increase safe access to herbal products, enhance biodiversity, and boost the local pharmaceutical sector.
