In an ideal world, children would consume all of the vitamins & minerals they need from a diet rich in healthy foods. However any realistic parent with a picky eater would tell you, how quintessential a tool multivitamins are to fill in the nutritional gaps in their child’s daily diet. But the endless cajoling that goes inside making the child pop that ‘multi’ is insane. Chewables’ do offer some relief yet there are unresolved taste issues. In lieu of the same, time is just ripe for Gummy Vitamins to enter into the scene, oust all traditional delivery systems & establish their monopoly. Despite being a relative newcomer these stand a fair chance to pose a serious threat to all the previous existing forms of supplements. Gummy Vitamins are supplements which provide the same nutritional value as their chewable counterparts, but rank higher in their convenience quotient. Gummy Candies were invented by Hans Riegel & produced in Germany in the 1920s. They soon evolved into Gummy Worms & then taking a variety of shapes & sizes served as a model for the future array of Gummy Vitamins. These are supplements that have fun & convenience integrated with nutrition. Children loved these chewy candies, so integrating a vitamin base into a Gummy Candy would encourage children to take their vitamins. Gummy Vitamins can be made to contain special formulas geared towards different individual health concerns such as bone building, immune system enhancement or energy levels etc. Gummies are quickly absorbed since digestion begins as soon as enzymes in the mouth act on the vitamins. Contrary to popular misconceptions, the absorption of the vitamin effect is not any different when the vitamins are in Gummy or Chewable forms. The overall quality & purity of the product are what matter most. The absorption into the bloodstream is around 100% when compounds exist in their pure state. Human body absorbs as much of the water soluble vitamins as needed & the excess amounts are excreted through urine. Water soluble vitamins include all B & C vitamins. Vitamins A, D, E & K are fat soluble vitamins & are stored in fat cells & liver. Body controls the amount of fat soluble vitamins absorbed, & as there are vitamin deficiencies in diet, increased absorption results. Since vitamins can be shaped into fun appearing shapes, some individuals may think that Gummy Vitamins can only be used by children. However, Gummy Vitamins can supply needed nutrition for all ages ranging from 2 years up through adulthood.
