Vitamins: The Chewy Kind


I'm horrible at taking vitamins.

Main reason number 1: they make me nauseous.
Main reason number 2: they are too big to swallow.

I went to Target Friday so that I could re-up on my trusty generic claritin for my dermatagraphism. I'll write a long blog post about that, maybe now since I'm kinda in the mood, but in the next post, not this one. With pictures!!! Ha! Who wants to see how my skin acts up? No? Yes? Oh you know you wanna.

Anyways, I see they finally have a nice myriad of adult gummy vitamins. I figured I'd give it a shot. What's there to lose really? Other than the fact that they'll taste gross? So, I took my chances.

I got in my car and got caught at a light and so I took this as an opportune moment to pop open the bottle. Not sure WHY I thought that was a bright idea, seeing as how I had no water or liquid beverage in my vehicle just in case they were gross or I started to choke or something.

The shape of the chews resemble Gum Drops, if you are familiar with that old school candy or Dots. They are in three flavors, orange, peach and berry. I picked out an orange one first. I figure most places usually get the orange flavor correct and I didn't think it wouldn't be too bad. I popped one in my mouth and to my surprise, it was good! A+ for the Up and Up brand of adult gummy vitamins!

We are now going on day 3 and I actually look forward to having my daily dose of vitamins and I no longer have to dread it! I'm a happy camper! The other flavors are great too!

Of course to make them tasty, there are somethings added. Here are the ingredients:
Glucose syrup, sucrose, gelatin, natural flavors, citric acid, tactic acid, fractionated coconut oil, natural colors (carrot and blueberry juices, annatto extract), and beeswax.

All those ingredients look fine to me! :)
