When I was a kid, vitamins were chalky and awful-tasting. Although they came in fun shapes, taking Flintstones and Smurf vitamins everyday was a chore. I also had to take iron pills at one point that were so gross, my mom let me eat a few Skittles as a chaser!
Fast-forward a decade to the invention of gummy vitamins.
The Hero Nutritionals Yummi Bear Organics Complete Multi-Vitamin is the first and only organic and GMO-free gummy vitamin for kids with no artificial ingredients. These mascot bears are wearing 20th Anniversary Celebration t-shirts, so the company has been around a while. That is something to celebrate!
Because there are no artificial colors, the vitamins do not look like regular gummy bears. The kids thought that the adult Slice of Life Organics Energy + B12 looked more appealing. However, upon tasting the Yummi Bear vitamins, they were pleased with the sweet fruity taste. I also appreciate that these vitamins are peanut/tree nut free without any “may contain nuts” disclaimers since our kids are allergic to nuts. I try to provide my kids with all of the nutrients they need through their food intake, but I think vitamins are a good “back-up”. These vitamins contain 16 essential nutrients for growth and development, and I feel good about giving them to my kids.
I tried the Slice of Life Organics Energy + B12 vitamins, which contains B12, along with folic acid and B6. According to the company, this combination supports heart and circulatory health as well as energy metabolism. These gummy vitamins taste like a little treat, and extra energy is always a good thing. I would definitely be interested in trying the Slice of Life Multivitamin in the future. The Hero Nutritionals line can be found at Ralph’s and Sprouts, two of my regular places to shop.
