In this blog, I am going talk about the latest fad in Healthcare — Vitamin Gummies! I bet your Instagram feed is flooded with brands and influencers promoting different gummies, promising results that can tempt any soul.

The rise of this recent wellness trends has brought forth a delightful twist to traditional remedies. Who wouldn’t prefer a cute bunny-shaped jelly over a conventional tablet? The aversion to swallowing pills is universal, but the appeal of a sweet colorful gummy makes the process almost enjoyable. Having tried online vitamin gummies myself, I have come across a variety of promises attached to these sweet treats. From promising luscious locks to radiant skin, these gummies seem to offer it all. But are they really effective? Do they have any side-effects? I will try to answer these questions.

Concerning Issues

With the competition in the market, Chewable multivitamins come in a wide variety of flavors, shapes, colors and sizes (that can’t come all from good old organic sources). The makers of these Vitamin Gummies are leaving nothing unturned to make their box the next big thing on Instagram. They claim that these gummies offer health benefits and are packed with the same benefits of a vitamin tablet while making the supplement consuming experience better for children as well as adults alike. Today, Gummy vitamins are being marketed to fit most modern nutritional needs.

Popular among trainers, gym enthusiasts, athletes, and nutritionists - while they were already widely spread in the West, gummy vitamins online are getting all the buzz in India as well.

Health Benefits of Gummy Vitamins

Research suggest that in most cases without any underling health conditions sticking to a balanced and healthy and diet prevent you from requiring any daily multivitamin supplements. But like most urban population if you struggle with eating different types of nutritional organic foods, if you have some sort of dietary restrictions, or if your body has trouble absorbing certain nutrients, you should consider taking regular multivitamin. And the marginal doses in the gummy often ensure that you can not getting any form of vitamin overdose.

Some people primarily prefer gummy vitamins because they are easier to swallow, sometimes taste amazing, and don’t have any form of unusual smell. All this combined makes you more likely to consume the vitamins regularly.

Potential Risks of Vitamin Gummies

As convenient, cute, and tasty as these gummy vitamins may be, they have several disadvantages. Their tasty flavor is a product of ingredients like sugar, mannitol, erythritol, isomalt, and several other sweeteners. There are several manufacturers who market their vitamin gummies as sugar-free, natural as they replace the sweetener with citric acid. But in majority of cases, the citric acid in these gummies is almost equally as harmful for you because over time can it wear down the enamel in your teeth that guards it.

Refined sugars is extremely bad for your health. High consumption can lead to obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay, high blood pressure, and other (chronic) long-term conditions.‌

Studies have also suggested that high intake of refined sugar can also raise your chances of certain types or cancer and liver disease. High sugar consumption is also associated with depression.

The sugar alcohols found in vitamin gummies, which are natural sugar substitutes extracted from fruits and berries, may manifest as digestive issues in some people in the form of nausea nausea, diarrhea, and bloating.

Most gummy vitamins are packed with fillers, artificial food dyes, and other things you don’t want to know that gives them their delightful look.

(I can’t stress this enough) It’s every important that you only take the recommended amount of vitamin gummies. If you consume one too many at once or overtime, you might experience a vitamin overdose. Symptoms of vitamin overdose/toxicity can include:

Digestive Problems

Trouble sleeping

Fatigue

Nerve Damage

Hair loss

Read these symptoms carefully as they may also look and feel like a deficiency, and some people might consume more vitamin gummies if they self research their condition on Google.

So it’s always better to get a full health checkup and let your general physician recommend you what you need. Avoid getting influenced by social media influencers and celebrities or the cute design and taste of these gummy vitamins.

My Personal Experience with Gummy Vitamins

Last year I had high levels on Vitamin D in my body, thanks to these gummy vitamins online. Fortunately, my family is super health conscious, so we tend to get regular health checkups and I was able to stop before it could get serious. And the problem.

Usually with vitamin supplements doctors usually prescribe the medicine for 3 months, so even we wanted to we can’t buy them without prescription. Whereas these vitamin gummies online are one click away. Anyone can order and consume them.

I think they are fairly effective in some cases, depending on the composition, but you definitely shouldn’t be popping vitamin bear gummies like candy.

Final Advice

Before consuming anything with claims like vitamin gummies, do a thorough research about the brand and the ingredients in the box. Even products from the same brand can have some concerning issues. So, if you are a loyal customer of a protein powder brand that suits you that doesn’t necessarily mean that their other products vitamin suppliments or gummy vitamin will benefit you. Consult your doctor, always seek guidance from a medical professional when taking decisions about your health.
