Gummies are an easy and discreet way to experience wellness ingredients. Each gummy provides a specific dose of an ingredient and are great for daily use.
Most gummies are specially-formulated to address specific health concerns, like eye health gummies that help address deficiencies like vitamin B12 and zinc.
Goji Berries
Berry fruits contain many nutritional advantages and are widely recognized as functional or superfoods [1]. Goji berries (also called wolfberries) are especially packed with essential vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and dietary fibres that support heart, liver, kidney, and eye health; since ancient times they have been utilized in traditional Chinese medicine to prolong longevity while supporting liver, kidney, and eye wellness [2.]
These bright red berries, with their woody, slightly raisiny taste similar to that of cranberries, have recently gained in popularity and can now be found on supermarket shelves and health food stores across the country. Packed full of Vitamin C and 18 amino acids as well as 21 trace minerals, they make for great snack options in large supermarkets and health food stores alike.
Goji berries contain high concentrations of anthocyanins that have been linked to their health-boosting benefits, including free radical scavenging, metal ion chelating and reduction. These properties make Goji berries effective against anti-ageing, inflammation and neuroprotective benefits [Reeve et al 2009] while simultaneously increasing energy levels and decreasing fatigue levels.
Ginger
Gingiber officinale, commonly referred to as ginger, is an age-old herb with anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties. Used as an effective natural treatment against colds, nausea, arthritis, menstrual cramps and hypertension for centuries on end.
Ginger was recently found to be as effective as ibuprofen in relieving pain associated with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis (Srivastava and Mustafa 1992). Furthermore, ginger may help ease muscle soreness after exercise as well as alleviate menstrual symptoms.
Due to potential side effects and interactions with other herbs, supplements, and medications, it is wise to always consult a healthcare provider prior to adding ginger into your diet or taking ginger supplements. Consumption may interfere with certain blood-thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin) and clopidogrel (Plavix); speak to your healthcare provider regarding an ideal dose for you.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Many people dislike taking pills, syrups, or liquid supplements. Gummies offer a highly absorbable form of nutrition which may benefit those who find traditional pills unpleasant in terms of taste or texture; one study demonstrated how gummies helped increase insulin action in muscles of type 1 diabetics while lowering blood sugar and triglyceride levels.
Vinegar has long been used as a natural health remedy. As an effective antibacterial, vinegar can kill bacteria that causes infection while helping preserve food by slowing spoilage. Furthermore, vinegar is often included as part of home recipes as an ingredient or condiment.
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) can be safely integrated into most diets when taken in diluted form; however, certain medications and supplements may interact negatively with it; it is best to consult your healthcare provider prior to adding apple cider vinegar into your routine diet. ACV offers many health benefits. These include:
Elderberry
Elderberry can help to boost one’s immune system during winter, when chances of colds or influenza increase significantly. Taken at the first sign of symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, cough, sneezing, fever chills or upper respiratory infections it may provide instantaneous relief from all.
Studies suggest that elderberry may help reduce the duration of influenza symptoms; however, additional large-scale research must be completed first. Furthermore, research indicates that elderberry might reduce levels of cholesterol for people who already have high levels.
Our New Chapter Kids’ Elderberry Gummies are naturally sweetened with fruit and honey, making them the ideal snack for children. Additionally, these gluten-free, vegan-friendly treats contain no cane sugar or corn syrup so are great for families looking to reduce sugar intake while keeping an eye on blood glucose levels.
