Tylenol Has Launched Its First Supplement to Support Muscle and Joint Health

Tylenol Has Launched Its First Supplement to Support Muscle and Joint Health

Yahoo02-06-2025

Tylenol is betting big on the supplement market.
The company best known for its pain relief medications featuring acetaminophen on Monday is entering the supplement category with its base product Proactive Support From the Makers of Tylenol, $20, a muscle and joint support supplement and an additional product with added stress support for $24, both available at all retailers where Tylenol is sold. This marks the company's first foray into drug-free pain solutions. Both products come with a month's worth supply of a single daily capsule.

Can Beauty Dupes Coexist With - or Even Benefit - the Products That Inspire Them?
According to the Tylenol team, the move into supplements was strategic in order to be able to offer consumers both reactive support with medication and proactive support with this new product.
'I constantly heard from consumers and pain sufferers that they want a full, robust toolkit to manage their pain,' said Jennifer Gow, head of U.S. pain at Kenvue, who has worked at Johnson & Johnson and now Kenvue for the past 17 years. 'Being the leader of the category and being Tylenol, it made sense for us to provide both drug and non-drug solutions… We hear from consumers that they want to be more proactive about managing [and] preventing pain.'
According to Gow, the team had always been exploring the opportunity to enter this category, and given the increased consumer demand and discovery of a differentiated formula, now was the right time.
The product specifically uses a proprietary blend of turmeric and tamarind called TamaFlex, as well as cucumber extract, which are clinically studied ingredients that show joint and flexibility supporting properties. According to the company, the product should start working within five days compared to a leading competitor at seven days. The version with added stress-relief benefits is also formulated with sceletium extract for its calming effects.
'We talked to health care professionals, and 84 percent of them said they would consider providing this specific formula,' Gow said.
While Tylenol is targeting a variety of consumers who may experience pain with this launch, Gow identified a few specific ones, particularly those 40-plus.
'Recently, we have been reaching out to our transitional consumer… or that type of consumer who is going from acute, occasional pain to more regular, but it isn't always on a daily basis. Those transitional consumers are the people who can start being more proactive about their health,' she said.
In addition, Gow pointed to perhaps a more niche consumer but a still important market, such as the person in their 20s experiencing joint pain from marathon training. It's also an ideal support product for someone experiencing chronic pain to help manage symptoms.
'You don't age out of this product, but the earlier you can start, as you're starting to feel that joint discomfort, that's the best time to be more proactive about this,' said Gow.
As these products launch, they will be strategically placed directly next to Tylenol on the pain aisle rather than merchandised with other supplements. According to Gow, the company surveyed consumers and an overwhelming amount said they would want to see it in retail this way.
To introduce the product, the company is employing traditional national media as well as tapping comedian and actress Molly Shannon for content that will be used primarily on social media.
'She's going to be talking a lot about this launch, and how she had a very active comedic career, and to stay active now, she partners with us and takes Tylenol Proactive Support, as well as all of the other things that she needs to do to stay active,' said Gow.
In addition, the company will partner with other creators and experts to discuss their pain prevention routines, including this new product, sleep, exercise and more.
As far as expanding in the supplement category, there could be more to come.
'I see big opportunities for us in the future. We're partnering with our research and development team to see what's next,' Gow said.

Sinus Headache … Or Is It?

For many years, I thought I had all the headaches of the rainbow. Migraine? Yes. Tension? Absolutely. Sinus? Without fail. Add in the headaches you get during a major bout with a cold, flu, or COVID, and I pretty much thought I had a degree in headaches. My medicine cabinet also represented the many treatments for any type of headache on any given day. I often smiled, knowing I would have something to barter in the apocalypse. I'd be the medicine woman trading Tylenol PMs for bread! Now let's be clear, I've been that chick! From an early age, I was the one who (when I was old enough to do so) had headache medication for anyone who needed it. I felt valuable being able to help someone escape a pain that I was all too familiar with. This system has made me a little scattered when planning, especially for travel. I've had to make sure I have my prescription migraine medication, some type of painkiller for a 'regular' headache, some sinus headache medication if we're talking March through early June, and then again in late September through early November. Right when the fall allergy season ends, I'm armed with headache medication for the cold and flu season. I'll also improvise when I need to. In the past, if I'd been caught off guard with what I believed to be a sinus headache, I'd take a Tylenol and then some generic sinus medication or do a neti pot. The goal was to attack it from the side if I couldn't attack it head-on. But as things commonly go with me and migraine, I learned something new recently that blew my mind. I was speaking to a neurologist about migraine (shout-out to Dr. Paul Mathew), and he said, 'You know, many people will think they're having a sinus or tension headache when it's actually a migraine.' Wait, what?! You mean all of these years, I've been walking around with an entire drugstore in my purse for no reason? But being a natural skeptic, I had to look it up myself. Sure enough, studies show that 90% of self-diagnosed sinus headaches are migraine attacks. I hate to be known as someone who follows the crowd, but dang it, I've been living in that 90%! For years, I wondered why traditional sinus medications would do nothing for my sinus headaches. I'd up the dose, I'd switch brands. I'd take a steam shower. I'd do all the things! Still, my 'sinus' headache would hang around for days. I'd be miserable. I'd call out of work sometimes. I'd be bedridden for days sometimes. I hated the spring. All along, I was dealing with a migraine. Honestly, I should have known. I mean, I had the classic migraine symptoms – sensitivity to light, nausea … oh, the nausea! I used to walk around God's green earth telling other people that my sinus headaches felt 'a lot like a migraine.' It's almost funny now. Almost. Beyond sounding very headache illiterate, the worst part of it all was that I was delaying my treatment. I was suffering for days sometimes, never once glancing at my migraine medication. But if you've been confused like me about how sinus and migraine headaches are different, don't feel bad. It seems they can have similar symptoms and triggers. Changes in weather and seasons can trigger both migraine attacks and sinus headaches. Both can have pain behind the eyes. Both can have a runny nose and watery eyes. It's no wonder most of us get it wrong when it comes to these types of headaches. The same nerves are involved in the face, mouth, jaw, head, and sinuses. But I've been reading that sinus headaches are pretty rare. We're nose-deep in allergy season where I live. Thankfully, I'm not in a place where yellow pollen covers the cars anymore, but the dry (sometimes dusty) air can kick up all kinds of allergens. All I know is I used to hate the spring and all its flowery-ness. I would gear up for days – sometimes weeks – of what I now know are migraine attacks. But as the old folks say: 'When you know better, you do better.' Now, when I feel a migraine attack coming on, I will treat it as such … and quickly! After all, there are roses to smell and long days to enjoy.

Global Fashion Agenda Addresses Sustainability's Struggles: Uncertainty Looms Amid Policy Shifts, Economic Pressures and Tariffs

COPENHAGEN — Does sustainability stand a chance in a world where it is being increasingly de-prioritized amid shifting government policies, mounting tariffs and more conservative political climates? That was the question attendees grappled with at this year's Global Fashion Agenda conference in Copenhagen. Organizers acknowledged the mood was 'somber,' reflecting rising uncertainty. Attendance was lighter, as brands cut budgets and pivoted toward contingency planning in response to legislative delays and economic headwinds. More from WWD Miley Cyrus Puts Her Own Twist on a '80s Rockstar Hairstyle at the Chanel and Tribeca Film Festival Luncheon in NYC Miley Cyrus, Parker Posey, Riley Keough & More Celebrate 'Through Her Lens' With Chanel and Tribeca Lucy Liu Anchors Chanel Textured Midi Dress With Pearl-heeled Pumps at TriBeCa Through Her Lens Luncheon In Europe, the European Commission's conservative pivot has led to a rollback of key legislation, most notably the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The directive, which required large companies to identify and address human rights and environmental impacts across their supply chains, is now partially on hold, leaving many companies in limbo. 'The EU has given the world a political signal that we, too, are going to do things differently, and I would even call it a sort of 'Trump lite,'' said European Parliament member Lara Wolters. Though the EU's upcoming changes are being framed as simplifications, 'it's far too soon…to make a harsh policy move like this. And yet that's been done and everybody is now scrambling to try to do damage control,' said Wolters. The likely outcome will be more paperwork on imports and burdens on small businesses, with less scrutiny at the source of production. In the U.S., new tariffs under the Trump administration have further complicated sustainability strategies. Companies investing in decarbonizing their supply chains now face uncertainty around future production costs and sourcing locations. 'It's hard to convince your CFO to make that decision,' said Chelsea Murtha, senior director of sustainability at the American Apparel and Footwear Association. '[Companies are] operating in confusion.' Meanwhile, states that once led on climate action are facing rising costs and cross-border partnerships, such as U.S.-Canadian collaborations on recycling and sorting systems, are now under threat due to the new fees and increased shipping complexity. USAID had long funded many NGOs and programs that U.S. brands relied on to monitor human rights and labor conditions in sourcing countries. That support is now cut, and brands are being asked to fill the gap. 'As much as the brands would like to, they're also getting squeezed by the tariffs,' said Murtha. 'So there's this sort of paralysis happening right now where everyone's trying to figure out what on earth can we continue to hold on to?' Claus Teilmann Petersen, Bestseller's head of sustainability and human rights, urged brands to channel this uncertainty into 'productive paranoia.' He believes that while the EU battle 'is kind of lost,' legislators should regroup to implement simplified due diligence based on global OECD guidelines. GFA's vice president of public affairs María Luisa Martínez Díez added that geopolitical instability is adding to the uncertainty. 'Wars and conflicts [are] also disrupting the industry, with brands having to reassess production locations and loans due to the risky conflict zones.' Financing is also impacted, with banks less inclined to fund factory upgrades that set out to reduce carbon emissions or water use. 'The focus on sustainability has been left behind, fading into the background, to the favor of competitors,' she noted. Adding to the challenge is the compliance burden of data collection and upcoming circular economy regulations. Brands are navigating varying rules from the U.S., EU, China and pending new laws in India, South America and Mexico. Amid the gloom, some companies see a silver lining in artificial intelligence. One promising use case is to modernize the outdated wholesale model. 'The system relies on the traditional system of bulk ordering,' said MannyAI cofounder and chief executive officer Shruti Grover. AI, she suggested, could optimize inventory, reduce overstock, and cut costs. The system relies on the traditional method of bulk ordering. Brands have to front the stock then absorb the cost of any items that are returned. Revamping the system could be especially beneficial for small brands, but this would break longstanding business practices and is resisted by existing players in the industry. 'So brands need to take a really brave decision for this,' she said. But while AI has potential, so far it has not paid out, according to research from BCG. Arti Zeighami, partner and director at the consulting group's tech design division BCGX, shared that only 4 percent of CEOs implementing AI have seen measurable return on investment, highlighting a gap between hype and tangible value. Still, smaller brands see opportunity. Mudd Jeans CEO Jolanda Brink said AI could enable her 12-person team to compete at scale. 'Everybody's talking like people are scared about AI, but I'm actually thinking this can tremendously help me,' she told WWD. 'It used to be large team, large results. So now this can be small team, large results.' Brink hopes to build a product lifecycle management system and launch targeted paid ads built with AI tools, especially to reach 'light green' consumers who value style but consider sustainability a bonus. She sees this possibility as a win-win. 'That is really good for retailers also, because that means they don't have to invest a lot in us, because they can see if it sells, and then they can order from us,' she said. StyleDNA cofounder and CEO Elena Volkova echoed the hype vs. value gap in AI, this time from the consumer perspective. Her research found that while 82 percent of users want AI-assisted shopping, many haven't acted on its suggestions. It will take time for consumers to develop trust in a new system and to see any personal value in using it, she said. This disconnect between intention and action was a recurring theme. Visa Europe's vice president of impact and sustainability Katherine Brown said their Behavioral Insights Lab found 87 percent of consumers want to shop sustainably, but only 27 percent follow through. The lab partners with retailers such as Selfridges, Cos, and John Lewis to test messaging and to nudge strategies that drive more sustainable choices. For Gen Z, framing sustainability as community-driven behavior raised sales at Cos by 22 percent. Pre-purchase nudges promoting refillables were also successful in a Charlotte Tilbury case study, she told WWD. These 'nudges' are less about hard-hitting sustainability messaging and more about a few key words that appeal to style or make economic sense to consumers in a softer way. Visa is also exploring 'agentic AI,' which autonomously searches and shops for products based on a consumer's personalized preferences. Yet trust and fraud prevention remain critical, especially in resale. 'There is just so much financial fraud at this moment in time, so people really do want to know that if I'm buying something, I want to know that it's from a real source,' she said. 'Trust and security is not yet robust in the resale market.' Visa is supporting digital passports to ensure the authenticity of goods as well as ensure the payments systems behind secondhand transactions. The lab, focused on Europe, plans to expand into global markets and new sectors, including travel and home goods. 'The fashion industry has been a brilliant starting point because the industry just so vastly needs to understand how to move people away from fast fashion,' said Brown. Devon Leahy, global head of sustainability at L Catterton, stressed the business case for bridging the gap. 'Closing the consumer gap is tangible financial value,' she said, urging brands to present sustainability as a co-benefit, not the primary purchase driver. Florence Bulté, chief sustainability officer at Chalhoub Group, discussed efforts to shift secondhand perceptions in the Middle East, where the group operates. When the group launched a jewelry rental program, she knew it would appeal to expats in the region. But to her surprise, it performed better than expected with local communities. The group is working to extend this kind of change with handbags and shoes as well. GFA CEO Federica Marchionni acknowledged the global moment. 'This time was a very different feeling…we were anxious of the time and the situation we are living in, and it's hard to tackle all of these barriers that are growing every day,' she said, highlighting the event's theme of 'Barriers and Bridges.' 'I always say that sustainability can really be the uniting bond,' she said. Many attendees noted that this year's conference felt smaller, whether due to overlapping events, tighter travel budgets, or broader fatigue. SXSW London was scheduled at the same time, where one attendee was due to be a panelist before she realized the dates conflicted, and the Textiles Recycling Expo was happening in Brussels. As a result, 'all the recyclers are there and the brands are here,' the attendee said. Though fewer CEOs were visible, C-level sustainability leaders from brands like Chanel and Kering participated in closed-door roundtables. Kering even brought along its first 'sustainability futurist,' who is focused on studying long-range transformation a decade out. One returning attendee, attending for the sixth time, said they had hoped for more 'actionable' content given how 'people have backed down on messaging.' Nonetheless, the networking was strong. 'It's good to meet people we only see on Zoom,' one attendee said. 'In that aspect, it is doing its job.' A standout moment of the week was the debut of Lycra EcoMade with Qira — a corn-based stretch fiber containing 70 percent renewable content. The drop-in replacement for petroleum-based Lycra delivers the same performance, making it possible for activewear such as yoga pants to go bio-based. There's no difference in appearance or feel. Both CEOs were on hand to unveil the fiber at the event, Lycra's Gary Smith and Qira's Jon Veldhouse. The fiber has been in development for seven years, and already piloted by brands like A-Golde. The material is being produced at a factory in Iowa and will scale to 65 tons a year, with the first large-scale shipments expected this fall for inclusion in spring collections. Leather alternative pioneer Modern Meadow also revealed its newly rebranded material, Innovera, with CEO David Williamson on hand to discuss the future of bio-designed material innovations. To close the week, Refibered was awarded the GFA Trailblazer prize. The startup uses AI to identify textile compositions, helping recyclers and boosting resale authentication and traceability.

Brazil's JHSF Diversifies Its Luxury ‘Ecosystem'

For JHSF, a mall isn't just a mall, a restaurant isn't just a restaurant. They're part of a holistic approach to luxury that the São Paolo-based conglomerate uses to cater to the affluent lifestyle. More from WWD The Met and Vacheron Constantin Reveal Winners of Artisan Residency Program Zadig & Voltaire Founders Acquire Maison Poiray and Aurélie Bidermann Jewelry Brands Hudson's Bay Signs Lease Deal With Chinese Billionaire Shopping centers, hotels and restaurants, upscale condos and houses, office towers, surf clubs, an asset management firm — even an exclusive executive airport for private jets — they all sit in the JHSF portfolio. And the company operates dozens of designer stores in Brazil for luxury brands such as Celine, Chloé, Isabel Marant, Balmain and Emilio Pucci while also leasing space to many other high-end names in its centers. 'You have important groups that have malls, but they are just mall operators. You have important groups that operate hotels, but they just manage hotels. And there are groups that operate just restaurants. But there isn't a group that connects to this luxury lifestyle like we do,' said Augusto Martins, the chief executive officer of JHSF. JHSF is a complex corporation with seven business units that for outsiders isn't easy to get a handle on at first. It's sometimes labeled too narrowly as a builder, though that's how the company began in 1972. The business was founded by brothers Fábio and José Roberto Auriemo and two other partners. The Auriemo family currently holds 55.2 percent of the total capital of the company, which gets its name from the first-name initials of the founders. For any highly diversified company, there are challenges and opportunities. Expertise across industries, attracting a wider range of talent, and the creating synergies are required. But being diversified, according to Martins, helps buttress the company against macro headwinds, and the various business units of JHSF share many of the same customers. 'All of our businesses are very connected to the high end sector,' Martins said. 'Our customers get off at the airport, take the helicopter, go shopping at our Cidade Jardim shopping center, and dine at a Fasano restaurant. It's a complete experience.' Or they live in JHSF's mammoth Boa Vista Village, a gated community in Porto Feliz located an hour from São Paulo. In an area roughly the size of Manhattan, Boa Vista Village contains hundreds of large homes and apartments, acres and acres of lush landscaping, golf courses, an equestrian center, a triathlon training center, two polo fields, a spa and a wave pool for surfing, among other amenities. The Shopping Cidade Jardim mall, located in the Morumbi district of São Paulo, continues to attract top European brands. Van Cleef & Arpels, Brunello Cucinelli and the L'Avenue restaurant from Paris recently opened in the center. Three more luxury brand flagships will soon open, furthering the upscale, international appeal. The shopping center is part of a complex consisting of nine residential towers that are part of the high-end condominium Parque Cidade Jardim, and three commercial towers that make up the Cidade Jardim Corporate Center. During an interview at the JHSF's Fasano Hotel situated on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue between 62rd and 63rd Streets — where suites start at $970 a night and run as high as $8,000 for a duplex — Martins outlined what can only be described as a full plate of JHSF expansion projects in the works in Brazil and other countries. Over the next five years, the company predicts it will expand its gross leasable area from 58,000 square meters to 99,000 square meters. Here's what he said is happening: In September or October this year, Boa Vista Village will open its 'Town Center,' an open-air destination with 15,000 square meters of gross leasable area for approximately 100 designer shops including Gucci and Chloé, as well as restaurants, galleries, entertainment features and a church. It's a setting that Martins said is inspired by the villages of the Hamptons on Long Island's East End. Shops Faria Lima, a 10,000-square-meter shopping center with stores, restaurants, a cinema and a gym in the heart of São Paulo's technological and financial center, is expected to be complete in 2027. It's being designed by famed architects Sig Bergamin and Murilo Lomas, with famed landscaper Maria João D'Orey. Usina São Paulo, a hub for corporate offices, media firms, entertainment and culture situated by the Pinheiros River, will house JHSF's new headquarters as it nears completion on a third phase of development. JHSF's São Paulo Catarina International Airport is being expanded from 12 hangers to 16 hangers for dozens of additional private jets. There's a waiting list of more than 100. The airport is often compared to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. The São Paulo Surf Club, with a wave pool for surfing, will open next to the Shopping Cicade Jardim mall. (JHSF's Boa Vista Village Surf Club also has a pool with technology that generates waves for up to 22 seconds each, and which reportedly cost $320 million.) A fourth expansion of Catarina Fashion Outlet, located in São Roque, 45 minutes from São Paulo. It has more than 51,000 gross square meters leasable area and 300 brands including Coach, Burberry, Aeropostale, Calvin Klein, Ferragamo, Michael Kors and Under Armour. On the international front, JHSF is rolling out four Fasano Hotels, starting with South Beach, Miami, on Collins Avenue next year. Through 2027, three more hotels will open, in the Mayfair section of London; in Sardinia, Italy, opposite the island of Tavolara, and in Cascais, Portugal, in Quinta da Marinha. JHSF bought the Fasano hotel chain 14 years ago, and opened the Fasano Fifth Avenue hotel and restaurant four years ago. About three years ago, the company opened the Fasano restaurant on Park and 49th Street, the site of the former Four Seasons restaurant, in New York. Considering its proximity to several major financial institutions, the restaurant quickly became a busy power lunch destination. The four-and-a-half-year-old JHSF Capital has roughly $450 million U.S. in assets under management and the team was recently in Dubai and Abu Dhabi meeting with sovereign funds and family offices to raise money for the company's internationalization efforts. With its unique platform, the family-run, publicly held JHSF is the largest luxury player in Latin America. The company continues to show sales and profit gains despite the luxury sector's global softness. For the first quarter of 2025, JHSF's gross revenue rose 37 percent to 439.5 million reais, or about $80 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 61 percent to 197.8 million reais, or about $35 million U.S. Recurring revenues alone rose 36 percent to 332.8 million reais, or about $60 million, with adjusted EBITDA based on recurring figures up 52 percent to 147.4 million reais, or $27 million. JHSF has begun concentrating more on recurring revenues which include rents from residences, airport hanger space, and retailers in the malls; club memberships; Fasino hotel fees charged to landlords, and JHSF Capital, and do not include real estate changes. These recurring revenues are steady, received regularly, and can be considered a better barometer of a company's financial performance, and a better basis for planning and forecasting. For all of 2024, recurring revenues rose 21 percent to 1.1 billion reais, or about $200 million, representing 64 percent of the company's total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA rose 42 percent to 495 million reais, or approximately $90 million. The luxury sector globally has been slowing, but according to Martins, 'In Brazil, there is probably a different scenario from what you find around the world.' The Cidade Jardim shopping center saw sales growth of 25 percent last quarter, and currently is 100 percent occupied. 'This platform, this ecosystem we created, is making a difference,' Martins said. He also credited JHSF's curation of luxury brand fashion houses and restaurants, citing such recent additions as Celine and Dior, and the Makoto and L'Avenue restaurants. 'We create a mix and an exclusive project that is giving us this power.' Martins said JHSF further benefits by being less dependent on international tourism, which is drying up around the world amid trade wars and cross-border conflicts. 'Consumer demand is holding up in Brazil,' Martins said. 'Yes, there's a lot of inflation now. We now operate with around 5 percent of inflation in Brazil, but this is in our culture. Unfortunately, inflation is not a new issue. It's an issue that has become natural for us, and this 5 percent rate is historically low. We used to have 30 percent.' The Brazilian luxury market has been valued at $17.1 billion, according to Bain & Company. The sector in Brazil is projected to experience an annual growth rate of 6 percent to 8 percent until 2030, driven by a growing base of high-net-worth individuals. Even though luxury consumers account for less than 1 percent of Brazil's population, their combined wealth exceeds 3.5 trillion reais ($613 billion), making the demographic a significant economic force. Brazil is home to approximately 380,000 individuals with at least $100 million in assets, highlighting the country's concentration of ultra-wealthy residents. The collective wealth of these individuals represents nearly 31 percent of Brazil's 2023 GDP, which stood at 11.3 trillion reais, or $1.98 trillion. JHSF has been doubling down on luxury. 'We had two very nice shopping malls in northern Brazil but they are not focused on the high end sector,' Martins said. 'So last year, though JHSF Capital, these two malls were sold. They were not connected to our strategy.' Martins said JHSF is on a trajectory of good growth. 'We have been investing in these different business units a lot in the past years to diversify our risk, to diversify our structure,' Martins said. 'We are not only in real estate development. It's about connecting with customers in different ways, in different moments of their lives. So we invested a lot to create clubs, to create new hotels, to expand the malls.' Asked if there is any desire to further diversify the company to businesses or sectors the company is not involved in Martins said: 'We think that now we have a very nice combination of businesses. They are very complementary. So when we [embark] on a new project, we try to have almost all the business units that we operate included. It's about maintaining total attention to our customer. How do they live? Where to they go? What products do they want? We will continue with this attention to their lives.' Last December, Martins hosted a holiday party for vendors at the Fasano on Fifth Avenue, as a way to say thank-you for their support. Many luxury and designer brands sent representatives. 'Not only have we been working with them at our malls Shopping Cidade Jardim and Shops Jardins, but we have also been connecting them with our high-end customers in our luxury residences, Fasano hotels and restaurants, private clubs, as well as in São Paulo Catarina Executive Airport, the only international private airport in Brazil.' For Martins and JSHF, it's all about connectivity and making it happen in the lap of luxury.
