Turns out, gummy multivitamins are kind of the bane of many a nutrition pro's existence—and for a couple of different (major) reasons. 🤔
:"It's prudent to have a conservative daily nutrition 'budget' for added sugars" because"when you make every bite count in a nutrient-dense fashion, there's not room for too much more."a good move for your overall health and well-being—and your supplement routine is an easy place to start.
Part of the reason for this is actually simpler than you might think: In gummy multivitamins, all of the nutrients have to be packaged up in sugar and either gelatin or pectin, the ingredients that actually make a gummy a gummy, Ferira explains. This means that there is quite literally only so much space for the nutrients themselves. Minerals, in particular, tend to be bulky nutrients—and, as a result, are often left out of gummy multivitamins for the sake of space, she notes.
The long and short of it: Check your Supplement Facts panel and you'll see that gummy multivitamins often lack a bunch of nutrients , so they simply don't provide as complete a lineup of vitamins and minerals that multis packaged up in other forms can offer.
