Great for those of us who can't swallow pills
By Dr. K
I bought these because I wanted to take a multivitamin but I have a really hard time taking large pills. I kept buying other brands of multivitamins and then let them sit on the shelf until they expired. These I take EVERY day, sometimes I'm even tempted to take them twice! I've been taking them for about half a year now. One nice thing about this vitamin is that it is gluten free even though many gummies are not. It is also free of milk, eggs, peanuts or soy (as listed on the bottle). The only downside is that the nutritional profile is not as complete as some other (solid) multivitamins. Also, make sure you look at the price of the different sizes (150 gummies vs 200 gummies) because sometimes the smaller bottle is a better deal.

If you'd like to know the nutritional profile before buying, it is below. For some of the lesser known vitamins, I listed some of their effects on the body. I try to take the vitamins with a meal, as this aids in absorption of some of constituents. Also, make sure not to just swallow them - chew thoroughly!

Great - but follow these three simple rules
By J. Grant
These vitamins taste just like gummy candy, have a great mix of vitamins and minerals, and can be very beneficial for people who have trouble swallowing pills. Just make sure to:

1. Take the correct dosage (2 a day). Since these are so much like candy, it can be tempting to overdo it. Some of the vitamins contained in this product are fat-soluble, and will build up in your body. Overdosing can lead to a potentially serious condition called vitamin toxicity.

2. Brush your teeth afterwards. Since these are gummy, they have an increased ability to stick to your teeth and do harm to your enamel. Take these before you brush.

3. Stock up in cooler weather. These can arrive as a melted mess when ordered in the summertime on an especially hot day. The heat can fuse these together, so if it's hot where you live right now, you might consider waiting.
