Gummy vitamins can be handy for rounding out your daily nutrient intake from food. Adult gummy vitamins are great for folks who want to take vitamins but do not love swallowing pills. If you have kids, maybe you have noticed how gummy vitamins for kids are one of the only ways they will take supplements at all! Today, let us unwrap everything you need to know about gummies, and check out the new gummies on the block that are truly different from the rest! What Are Vitamin Gummies Made From? In general, vitamin gummy supplements are made with the essential micronutrients you would expect in any vitamin product. These include Vitamins A, C, D3, E, and K, as well as B Vitamins. Some gummies also include minerals like Zinc or Selenium. In addition to key nutrients that support health benefits, gummies have ingredients that help with taste and appearance. These usually include added flavors, added colors, and added sweeteners like cane sugar, glucose syrup, or tapioca syrup. Other gummy ingredients that provide chewiness and structure may include pectin (typically from apples or citrus) and/or gelatin (typically from cows). When we designed New Chapter ® 's vitamin gummies, we did not want to use animal gelatin or a ton of added sugar. Our gummies are made with no artificial colors and no subpar ingredients. We use pure, non-GMO ingredients that are quality tested and potency assured. Our berry-citrus-flavored gummies are actually made with a unique approach to sugar content. In these pioneering formulas, we swapped out unnecessary extra sugar in our gummies and instead use inulin fiber from organic Blue Agave. The organic agave fiber † helps provide structure and deliciousness, and the result is gummies that have only 2 g sugar per serving (1 g for kids' gummies). That means you can take our gummies and give them to your kids knowing you're consuming nutrient-packed goodness without the "candy-as- vitamins" shenanigans! Are Gummy Vitamins the Same as Traditional Vitamins? People generally take multivitamin gummies as a replacement for traditional multivitamin tablets. Knowing this, gummy formulators take care to include the key vitamins and minerals that you would want in a multivitamin. But these blends are not exactly the same as multivitamin pills. For example, you do not usually find gummy vitamins with iron, since iron tends to have a strong, unpleasant taste. (If you are looking for Iron supplements, you may want to check out the fermented, non-constipating Iron in our Fermented Iron Complex tablets or in our prenatal multivitamin tablets.) When it comes to New Chapter's multivitamin gummies, you can rest assured that they provide essential nutrients for foundational health in formulas for men, women, and children. • Complete multivitamin with 13 vitamins & 4 minerals • Excellent source of immune-essential Vitamins C, D3 and Zinc*‡ • Fermented B Vitamins (all 8 types!) for cellular energy* • Complementary organic berry blend including Elderberry Do Gummy Vitamins Have a Lot of Sugar? The sugar content of gummy vitamins varies depending on the brand and formula. Some popular gummies seem almost like candy, delivering 8+ grams of sugar per serving. For reference, the average sugar cube is 4 grams of sugar—so taking those sugary gummies can be like popping 2 sugar cubes a day with your vitamin! Keep in mind that the American Heart Association's sugar recommendations say that men should consume no more than 36 grams of added sugar per day, and women should
