Gummies are an increasingly popular alternative to taking pills or tablets for vitamins. Their sweet flavor and chewy texture makes taking vitamins more pleasurable.
Gummy vitamins provide essential nutrients that the body requires in order to function optimally, such as iron which strengthens immunity or calcium and vitamin D which promote bone health.
Vinh Wellness utilizes Pangasius freshwater fish gelatin to produce immune-enhancing gummies. This single source gelatin offers greater safety and consistency.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin found naturally in fruits and vegetables. It helps fight infections, heal wounds, and act as an antioxidant in the body.
Gummies are delicious treats that make an ideal alternative for children or adults who struggle with swallowing pills or liquid supplements, yet contain added sugars which could contribute to obesity and diabetes if regularly consumed.
Gummies may contain citric acid, which wears away at tooth enamel. Be sure to read the label to determine how much sugar each serving contains.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D has long been recognized for helping strengthen bones and teeth, but new research indicates it could offer much more. Deficient levels have been linked with cancer as well as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes – so ensuring adequate vitamin D levels is crucial to overall health outcomes.
Most people can obtain enough vitamin D from sun exposure and food sources during autumn and winter; however, for others who do not receive sufficient sunlight exposure or who rely on supplements alone to meet their daily requirements for Vitamin D supplementation can take one.
Omega-3 Fish Oil
Fish oil supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) could lower your risk of heart disease by helping lower triglyceride levels and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels, and may even assist those living with rheumatoid arthritis.
Multiple large clinical trials have confirmed that higher blood levels of long-chain omega-3s may reduce the risk of low-grade prostate cancer and possibly high-grade prostate cancer; however, further investigation must be conducted.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6, more commonly known by its scientific name pyridoxine, plays an essential role in biological processes within the body. It helps lower homocysteine levels which may contribute to cardiovascular issues. Vitamin B6 supplements containing other B vitamins as well as stand-alone Vitamin B6 products may contain this essential nutrient.
Studies have demonstrated the benefits of taking B6 and folic acid supplements can reduce your risk of colorectal cancer and help treat symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome – such as anxiety and irritability – in some women.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, commonly referred to as cobalamin, helps synthesize DNA and is essential in supporting brain and nervous system health. It can be found naturally in meat, fish and dairy products; synthetic forms have also been created specifically for use as dietary supplements.
Vitamin B12 helps lower levels of homocysteine, which may increase your risk for heart disease. There is some conflicting evidence as to whether vitamin B12 supplements reduce depression risk; more research with larger numbers of participants should be conducted before reaching definitive conclusions.
Vit B12 can play an essential role in protecting against osteoporosis and macular degeneration – two conditions which lead to blurry vision as you age – as well as increasing cancer risks; although further research must be conducted before making this claim. Getting enough vitamin B12 may also reduce chances of Alzheimer’s.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A — more commonly referred to as retinol — plays an essential role in maintaining eye health, supporting organ and cell functions and aiding preterm birth development. Furthermore, its antioxidant properties could potentially lower cancer risks among those who regularly ingest foods rich in both Vitamin A and beta-carotene.
Vitamin A can be found both animal and plant sources. Animal-sourced products contain preformed retinol while plant foods provide beta-carotene that the body converts to retinol when needed.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E, an essential fat-soluble vitamin found both in plants and animals, acts as an antioxidant to neutralise free radical damage caused by free radicals. Furthermore, studies suggest it could lower cholesterol and prevent blood clots among people suffering from heart disease.
Vitamin gummies may be useful for people who have difficulty swallowing pills or liquid supplements, yet should not serve as a replacement for a healthy diet.
Studies conducted as part of two large clinical trials–HOPE-TOO trial and Women’s Health Study–have concluded that supplementing with high doses of vitamin E did not reduce cancer risk [21], [22][23],[24]
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin with no known adverse reactions, found naturally in food as well as available as supplements. There are two forms: phylloquinone (vitamin K1) and menaquinones (vitamin K2).
Phylloquinone can be found in plant foods like green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach, fermented products such as sauerkraut and in foods rich in plant nutrients like nuts. It works to strengthen bones by activating proteins that strengthen them. Furthermore, research has linked its consumption with improved cardiovascular health through helping prevent calcium build-up in arteries.
