Does anyone take gummy vitamins?

[Inthefuture]

I want to take a decent multi vitamin but the ones I’ve got are huge and taste horrible. Has anyone tried gummy vitamins and do they do the same job as the tablets?

I have the Tesco kids ones and they taste like sweets!
I don't know how they compare though. I think seven seas does an adult version, but I've not tried them yet.

I have the Bassetts gummy adult ones and they're so nice, I think they're raspberry and cranberry!

My understanding is they aren’t as good as tablets/capsules (I think I got this from the ‘it starts with an egg’ book) but surely they have to be better than skipping days because you didn’t feel like taking a tablet that day.

I had the Alive women's health ones. The did not smell good but tasted ok. They are often on offer at Holland and Barrett.

My teenagers like them - only way I can get them to take vitamins!

The fruity chewables by centrum are lovely. They're not gummy sweets but they taste gorgeous.

For a while I was eating the vitamin D gummies like they were wine gums...had to force myself to stop as I was probably mostly made of vitamin D for a while They were delicious!

I have the gummy pregnacare ones as last time I was pregnant I couldn't take tablets as they made me sick. Hoping the gummy ones will be a good alternative. I tried one and they don't taste like sweets but they're fine, a bit chalky maybe.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I take these! Buy one get one 1/2 price offer at the moment. I have really noticed a difference since taking them.

It's a lesson in self control not to eat the whole box!

No, they give me the shits!

I take Tesco A-Z Multivitamin and minerals (in the red pot) and they aren't that big and taste fine.

I could only get a gigantic tip of chewy ones from home bargains in the first lockdown, and I’ve still got about a months worth.

They seem ok, I’ve not noticed any difference. Though I do prefer a woman specific one and these are ‘adult’ so will ge changing back when they’re done.

Not gummy but I take the Tesco’s kids ones that you crunch and taste fruity

Another one for Bassets, they are like sweets!

Yes I have. You can always compare ingredients with the "normal" kind. There are mixed reviews on how effective vitamins are anyway.

I've had some that come in a tub from Boots (maybe centrum?) and also the Bassets one that come in a box and they are sometimes cheap in places like Home Bargains.

Have you tried Berocca? Not chewy obviously but an alternative to regular vitamins and I have sometimes enjoyed having them as part of my routine first thing in a morning.

We get the cheaper ones from home bargains for us and for our dc. They taste fine but I had to hide them from the dc and hand them out each morning because they wanted to eat them like sweets.

Yes I do, the bassets ones. They are ok, started having them about 2 years ago, my skin has slightly improved, but I do eat a lot of fruit and veg most days anyway.

I used to nick DC's gummy bear vitamins sometimes, they were so delicious. Meant for children so not adult intake but better than nothing when you feel run down.

The bassets ones are delicious, cranberry and raspberry flavour. I love them and the dc like the ones for their age groups too. I’ve tried The children ones and the flavours of those are really lovely Too.
