COVID-19 has impacted the lives of everyone.The coronavirus environment affects our health, wealth, freedom etc. Health experts are all telling us to; wash our hands, don’t touch your face, stay healthy, exercise, build up your immune system, (which for me is now with gummy vitamins) get more sleep, practice social distancing, stay at home as much as possible, and on and on and on.
These are stressful times and all more reason why I continue to take my vitamins because stress sucks the essential minerals and vitamins out of our bodies which can weaken our immune systems. Raise your hand if you want a weaker immune system right now. Didn’t think so. Me either.
I take so many vitamins, it’s not even funny. The challenge for me is that some of vitamins are extremely difficult to swallow. It’s always been a challenge for me. I mean c’mon some of them (B’s, CalMag) are as big as my thumb! It’s not the greatest experience that’s for sure.
I remember when I was about seven years old (where were the gummy vitamins then?) and I had a very high fever and I just couldn’t swallow the pill that they trying to force down my throat. Pills taste disgusting. Those chalky looking pills just make me gag, even now in my 50’s! Some things just never change I guess.
My fever kept getting worse so my Dad had to be the bad cop; slapped me on the butt, put the pill in my mouth and I swallowed it in no time at all.
Today, kids are way luckier than I was. The world has made it easier for them to consume vitamins and they are called gummies! Gummy vitamins are tasty because they typically come in fruit flavors and they are chewable just like a typical gummy candy.
So, I was on a quest to look for gummy vitamins and voila I found the largest nutritional gummy vitamin manufacturer right here in my clean home province of beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
Introducing Herbaland!
So I reached out to them and asked them for some samples which they happily sent my way.
While I waited for my samples from Herbaland I decided to dig deeper into the differences between taking traditional vitamin pills vs. gummy vitamins. I’m revealing my findings on this post.
Gummy vitamins are chewable vitamins similar to gummy candies and they come in a variety of flavors, colors, and shapes. Most gummy candies I’ve tried have a rubbery like texture making them tough to chew. Gummy vitamins on the other hand are like a firm jello because they are typically made from gelatin or corn starch. Herbaland’s gummies are made from plant fibre – pectin to be exact! I didn’t find myself struggling to chew them like the typical gummy.
Why Gummy Vitamins Are Popular: The Search Results on Google Reveal They Are!
I am finding ways to enjoy the little things along the way, like taking my vitamins and eating really smart. It’s important now more than ever before especially if we’re staying at-home most of the time. Gummies are way more fun to chew than swallowing big chalky, bitter pills.
There are many gummy vitamins on the market that contain nasty sugars and food coloring. The beautiful thing about Herbaland is that there are no bad sugars. In fact they use the following:
1. Organic Erythritol
The low-calorie sweetener erythritol may seem too good to be true. It’s natural, doesn’t cause side effects and tastes almost exactly like sugar / without the calories. Basically, it has all the things that are good about regular sugar without any of the negatives.

2. Xylitol
As a sweetener, xylitol is an excellent choice. Whereas some sweeteners may cause health risks, studies show that xylitol has actual health benefits. It doesn’t spike blood sugar or insulin, starves the plaque-producing bacteria in your mouth and feeds friendly microbes in your digestive system.

3. Organic Stevia Leaf Extract
Stevia is often touted as a safe and healthy sugar substitute that can sweeten up foods without the negative health effects linked to refined sugar. It’s also associated with several impressive health benefits, such as reduced calorie intake, blood sugar levels, and risk of cavities.

These yummy gummies contain a powerful trio of antioxidants vitamins including: vitamin C, Elderberry and Echinacea which are designed to support immune health. Which means preventing or getting over a cold has never been so easy, healthy, tasty and fun! These little delights are a must for maintaining good health. Even my husband loves them! BTW, they have a version for kids 4 years old and older.
