Best Thing Ever: Gummy Vitamins for Adults
A couple months ago Marichelle and I were lamenting the fact that taking a daily multi vitamins is such a chore that it hardly seems worth the effort. The standard pills are huge and they always taste terrible. I personally stopped taking vitamins years ago because I never found one that didn't make me feel nauseous afterwards. Something about going through my day feeling sick as a dog just doesn't appeal to me. ; )
Since Marichelle is expecting (yay) she was desperate to find something that she could stomach and ended up purchasing some children's gummy vitamins (figuring that even a tiny dose would be better than nothing at all). That of course got us going on a tangent wondering why they don't just make gummy vitamins for adults...
Well I am over the moon excited to say that they DO! I just picked up a bottle last week of these vitafusion Multi Vites and I LOVE THEM! If they were candy I'd eat a whole bag full and then some. They don't even have a hint of vitamin "flavor" and I haven't felt nauseous even once after taking them. These babies are my new best friend. Now that I've tested out the multi vitamins I think I'll be picking up bottles of their other offerings, such as the B-12 and calcium varieties. I purchased mine at our local Stop & Shop, but I believe they are available in most major grocery stores and Target online as well. xo Ez

I just read your blog post with great interest. I have spent many years constantly feeling sick and despite having a few tests nothing has shown up. I have been taking multivitamins for a number of years and it never occurred to me that it could be them that are causing the nausea.
I will give the childrens multivitamins a try and see what happens. Thanks for the post (and all of the others too!) it has certainly made me wonder.
Take care oxo
I found these same vitamins about a month ago at Costco and was thrilled. Vitamins always had that same effect on me as well, that awful nauseaous feeling and I hadn't taken vitamins in year either, but I started this special diet and exersize program and I'm supposed to take vitamins. I was still going to skip it until I found these. Yes, they are very yummy and now I look forward to taking my vitamins every morning.
Yay for gummies!!!
Dear VitaFusion,
PLEASE develop Gummy prenatal vitamins!!! I'm tired of swallowing horse pills every night... (and chewable chalky pills are just as bad)
Marichelle
I'm the *exact* same way!!!! I just found these last month at Target & I love love love them!!!!!
thanks for this post. I've been avoiding the whole vitamins thing for a while now cos I hate the usual suspects. I think these may be just the ticket to get me back in the vitamin swing of things.
you HAVE GOT TO try slice of life brand!! http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=YB-1025&sourceType=cs&source=FG&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engines-_-googleproduct-_-Slice%20Of%20Life%20Adult%20Multi%20-%2060%20Gummies%20-%20Multivitamins%20without%20Iron-_-YB-1025&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=YB-1025 these are my absolute favorite things in the world... sorry for the giant obnoxious link. but i have a super sensitive stomach and i never get that lumpy throat/nauseated tummy feeling after taking them.
Just found your new blog today! I'm glad you decided to do this, and I'll be so happy reading your posts. I'm also happy to see you're watching LOST! What do you think of it so far?
Love Caroline
I find that if I take my vitamins before I go to bed I feel a lot better.
There is just something about taking them with breakfast that makes me sick.
heheh this is to funny! im addicted to the v. C chewable. they are so yummy. sadly just C though.
Oh, I just noticed you have a nice blog! And thanks for the adult gummy info... I've been snitching my son's gummy vitamins because most adult vitamins contain too much iron which leads to nauseousness (at least for me it does!) Mmm, the peach nectar sounds perfectly nummy! Which reminds me, I really need to start using the beautiful circa 1940's cocoa set in the hutch.
Looking forward to more of your "carrying on"!
Yum. I love the idea of gummy vitamins and my kids take them. But I'm vegetarian and most brands have gelatin in them. :-(
I love it - fun vitamins... How can we possibly resist such delicious looking treats..?!

My husband and I are particular to the Flintstone gummies! I hate adult vitamins. Too big. My doctor said 2 Flintstones work just fine. Plus they are like candy! xo {love the new site Ez!}
Gummy vitamins are rad. I started them up last year after years of failing with regular vitamins. I'm so happy you discovered them! :)
Saw this post, felt the same way, bought em, love em!
Love your new blog, keep the posts coming :)
