Gummies offer an easy and enjoyable way to supplement diets with essential vitamins and minerals. Compared to pills or liquids, gummies may be more palatable for children as well as adults who struggle to swallow supplements.
However, it can be challenging to include certain nutrients like iron in gummy vitamins; its metallic taste makes this difficult and may pose a threat for young children and pregnant women who risk iron deficiency anemia. This poses an extra hurdle in taking adequate iron supplementation during gestation or pregnancy.
Calcium
Calcium is one of the body’s most abundant minerals and helps strengthen bones and teeth. In addition, calcium also plays an integral part in nerve and muscle function regulation as well as blood clotting regulation, so providing your body with enough calcium through diet can reduce osteoporosis risk.
Calcification is essential, both during childhood and later life. An excess of calcium from supplements or foods may lead to bloating, constipation and nausea as well as increased fracture risk.
Gummies contain minerals in the form of carbonate or citrate, which is more easily absorbed than other mineral supplements like gluconate and chelate. Manufacturers may add additional vitamins such as Vitamin D or Magnesium for additional nutrition.
Some gummies contain iron, which may have an unpleasant metallic flavor that some consumers find unpleasant. Manufacturers can offset this unpleasantness with fruit flavors such as those used by Nature Made’s Adult Iron Gummies (such as strawberry and raspberry flavors).
Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the key elements to maintaining good health. It plays a pivotal role in muscle strength, heart health, mood regulation and bone and teeth health – studies indicate that those with adequate levels of magnesium have lower risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Magnesium can be obtained in various foods, including leafy greens, nuts and beans. But if your diet alone isn’t providing enough magnesium, taking magnesium citrate supplements could help. Just be sure that they’ve undergone third-party verification for purity and potency before choosing this route of supplementation.
These Tropical Citrus flavor gummies provide a high-quality source of magnesium in an easily digestible Tropical Citrus form, without high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors or colors, gluten or dairy. Magnesium supports bone, nerve, heart and muscle function while helping you have restful nights of restful sleep.
Zinc
Zinc is a key trace mineral in our bodies, aiding immune function, metabolism and wound healing while boosting taste and smell sensations. Supplements containing zinc have also been found to reduce cold symptoms quickly while speeding recovery time.
Zinc gummies provide a simple, delicious way to add this vital nutrient into your daily routine. Each bite-sized gummy provides your daily dose in one tasty treat!
Zinc gummies are an excellent option for vegetarians, vegans and children who can’t meet their daily zinc needs through diet alone, such as vegetarians. But be careful not to consume too much zinc; over 40 mg elemental zinc could lead to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in some individuals as well as interfere with copper absorption, potentially leading to deficiency over time. Zinc gummies should only be taken with meals rather than dairy products or medications containing zinc such as antibiotics.
Iodine
Iodine is an essential nutrient needed for proper thyroid functioning. Deficits in this vital mineral are one of the primary causes of preventable intellectual disability in children worldwide.
Seaweed (including kelp) and salt are excellent sources of iodine. Food-grade iodine usually takes the form of iodide; however, other sources include iodate or organic compounds like mono- and diiodotyrosine. Iodine from salt can often be used to fortify food in areas lacking enough iodine.
Iodine should be safe for most adults when taken in amounts less than 1100 micrograms daily as recommended by the FDA for adults, though higher dosages could increase your risk of side effects, including goiter and thyroid issues, long-term use may cause allergic reactions and should only be done under medical supervision. Iodine may interfere with some medications including bisphosphonates (like alendronate), quinolone antibiotics ( like ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin) and levothyroxine while interfering with lab tests (including fecal occult blood tests). Please consult with your physician before beginning this product use if any health concerns exist or issues arise;
