Do Gummy Vitamins Work? Here's What Experts Say | TIME

Well they’re the only vitamin I’m excited to take everyday

[baileyreich]

listen any excuse to eat gummy candy for breakfast is a good enough excuse for me

[LTMoore-yylm]

I like how they skirt around the whole ass question. Funny how they’re only concerned when ppl want to be healthy and they only start talking about potential risk when there’s risk in all food. Last time I checked you’re more likely to get sick and die from bad meat or veggies than taking multivitamins. This literally said don’t eat expired gummies, don’t eat more than the recommended amount and they they contain more or less than advertised when food contain more or less than advertised. The FDA allows a small window of error because of course nutrition facts aren’t exact. It’s why they are updated all the time. I’m a nutritionist and can tell you for sure that you’re far better off taking multivitamins than not. What this industry does to keep more people unhealthy is sickening. Do the research and you’ll see lots of shady things about the health industry

Thank God they don’t work cuz I inhale those things like crack!

[Unknown-frkh]

[sharece]

I only eat them because they're healthier than actual gummy bears

[angelicfurry]

I just bought gummie multi vitamin I took the calcium gummies and I feel better after two weeks of them once a day

[bryanpena]

Only supplememts that I take is Fish Oil as in Omega-3 and Complete Vitamin B1-6-12 since you cant really get enough of it from foods as we age. Everything else to me at least seems like snake oil. Especially Vitamim E.

Gummies vitamins works. It's just some manufacturers putting on their labels they contain certain vitamins or ingredients and there are some that are not heat tolerable. Some would degrade during the heating process. Other vitamins ingredients wouldn't. You just need to do your research

[SuburbanKween]

+Time Does this also apply to chewables?

[wuhregj]

Yes they work for me I can see the difference in my hair and skin.

[SplatRatL]

I once ate them like popcorn by accident from distraction of a movie when young

[lhuynh]

I preferred pill form, it’s have more dense nutrients in it.

[jibrealyaaseen]

Due to this video I just decided to give My children one a day instead of two

[creamofbotulismsoup]

First you need to ask if regular vitamins work. The answer is generally no, not in normal circumstances.

[hirengamer]

I do not have any knowledge of these gummies does anyone tell me that it is useful or not ?

[Bekrox]

goddamn, i remember eating ton these like years ago

[deliasavala]

How many we take a day? It says 2 serving size

[vasty]
