At NBC Select, our goal is to help you find products that elevate your life. At the beginning of April, we launched our second-ever NBC Select Wellness Awards, which are a result of countless hours of our writers, editors and staff testing hundreds of products across fitness, sleep and self care. We also compiled winners available on Amazon, and products that were featured on TODAY.
When it came down to our final award winners, our readers were most interested in earplugs, toothbrushes, sneakers and fitness tech. Below are some of the most purchased products from our 2024 Wellness Awards coverage.

How we chose our winners
We utilized our editors as shopping and trying experts. All products went through a five-week trial period before we selected our winners.
When we look at any products, especially wellness items, we examine them thoroughly. To be our favorite in a category, a product must upgrade our readers’ lives and fulfill their needs. Each individual category has its own criteria to meet during our trial period. We specifically looked at price, size-inclusivity and overall quality and effectiveness.
What our badge means
First and foremost, we are journalists, so we will always do our research and reporting. When a product carries the NBC Select badge, you can trust that our team of editors as shopping experts and professionals vetted the item thoroughly.
