What videos are talking about

Flavor drops drove the month. Bloom's Crisp Apple went from 26 videos in August to 215 in September and Pear Scare from 17 to 112. Red Bull's pistachio Winter Edition grew from 14 to 122. Limited editions, not new claims, produced the biggest jumps.

Absorption and longevity terms rose. Liposomal mentions grew 58% in share of wellness video, mostly from Cymbiotika's liposomal glutathione. NAD+ rose 48% and colostrum 30%. Electrolytes (−21%), creatine (−30%) and ashwagandha (−19%) lost share after summer.

Supplement video is mostly sold, not shared. Cymbiotika, Goli and IM8 are dominated by sponsored TikTok Shop and ambassador posts, and almost none of their videos mention the brand without a tag. Celsius and Liquid I.V. are smaller but get named unprompted far more often.
