Gummy vitamins are chewable vitamins that have a texture and taste similar to gummy candies and come in a variety of flavors, colors, and shapes (hello Vital shield!)
They’re one of the most popular types of vitamins because they appeal to adults looking to add some fun (and maybe even a little nostalgia) into their wellness routines—especially those who may not like swallowing pills.
Gummy vitamins have several positives such as an enjoyable taste and texture, in addition to the nutrients they provide. However, on the downside, many gummies can contain excessive amounts of sugar and artificial flavors and colors. So, you might be wondering if adding gummy vitamins to your wellness routine is actually beneficial.
We tapped our in-house functional nutrition expert Olivia Pelaez to set the record straight on how gummy vitamins can be not only delicious but effective too! Plus, we’ll dive into why people love our Wellness Gummies collection. Hint: there’s something for everyone!
Are gummy vitamins effective?
Just like with any nutritional supplement, it is always important to review the supplement facts panel for active ingredients as well as any ingredients worth avoiding (looking at you artificial flavors!).
When choosing a gummy vitamin, keep in mind that sugar is a common ingredient not only for taste, but for structure as well. Vital Proteins® Wellness Gummies contain only 3–5g of sugar per serving with no synthetic colors or artificial flavors.
Don’t let the delicious flavor and texture fool you; gummy vitamins are not meant to be consumed like candy! However, because they are a fun and tasty format to consume, it may make compliance more likely for some individuals. Long story short, these tasty gummy vitamins can help you establish a wellness routine you’ll actually look forward to.
