Never a big fan of vitamin pills, I completely eliminated pill form supplements from my repetoire following a bad experience with those finger size pre-natal vitamins. ย I tired to monitor my diet to keep it nutrient rich, and whenever I could find powder supplements, like Emergen-C, I would work it in somewhere, but even the powders can taste chalky and be messy. ย (Although the Emergen-C powders are pretty tasty, especially the rasberry and strawberry flavor versions.)
Recently at Whole Foods I came across an adult version of gummy-vites. ย I have always given my children gummy vitamins, but for some crazy reason never considered trying them myself. ย I bought a bottle of the B-Complex Adult Gummy Vitamins by Nutrition Now and guess what! ย They taste great! ย The next day I went back and bought the One-A-Day ย Vita Craves Gummies, a complete adult multivitamin. ย They come in traditional fruit flavors, as well as the sour version (akin to Sour Patch Kid candy) and taste remarkably like healthy Gummy Bears. ย I’ve been happily taking my gummy vitamin supplements for over a week now and I feel so much better. ย More energetic, clearer…I feel like I even look healthier!
So if you have an aversion to those smelly, gag-inducing vitamin pill supplements, try the gummy version. ย I bet after one week you’ll notice a difference in the way you feel.
