I bought some hair, skin and nail gummies yesterday. Went to take them this morning and the bottle says "not recommended for pregnant, breastfeeding or menopausal women"
Why menopausal?! I'm 54 and post menopausal and now I'm really annoyed again about something new

Maybe because they don’t want you to be relying on them for essential nutrients?

Gummy vitamins do NOT work and can do more harm than good

Tests conducted by ConsumerLab.com found that the preservatives and sugars in gummy vitamins take the nutrients out of them and prevent the body from absorbing the vitamins.

Please not that the gummies in the article were in the US and Canada who have different laws to the UK
