Multivitamin Gummies with Strawberry and Orange Flavor
Don't like swallowing capsules? Then these multivitamin gummies are a great solution. Each gummy contains vitamin A along with thirteen other vitamins and minerals, packaged in a soft gummy with strawberry and orange flavor. The formula is completely plant-based, gluten-free, and free from preservatives. Two gummies a day, that's the idea.
What exactly is in the multivitamin gummies
Per two gummies you get 600 mcg vitamin A, 26.64 mcg vitamin D2, 40 mg vitamin C, 20 mg vitamin E and a range of B vitamins including B6, B12, niacin, folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid. On top of that, there are four minerals in it: iodine, zinc, chromium and molybdenum. Vitamin A plays a role in the cell specialization process and contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. That makes it one of the most versatile vitamins in this formula. Vitamin D2 contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bones. And vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. In short: you cover a wide range of micronutrients with two gummies.
Why D2 instead of D3
What many people don't know: vitamin D exists in two forms. D3 usually comes from lanolin (wool fat) or fish oil, while D2 is extracted from yeast after UV irradiation. That makes D2 suitable for a completely vegan product. Each gummy provides 13.32 mcg vitamin D2, or 26.64 mcg per daily dose of two gummies (533% RI). LUTO deliberately chose D2 to keep the formula one hundred percent plant-based, and that makes sense if you want to make a vegan gummy.
Citrus pectin as a base instead of gelatin
Most gummies on the market use gelatin as a binder. LUTO uses citrus pectin (E440), a plant fiber from citrus fruits. That is the reason these gummies are vegan. The colorings come from black carrot and beta-carotene, the flavor from natural aromas. There is sugar and tapioca syrup in it, as is the case with almost all gummies. That is the price you pay for a chewable form instead of a dry capsule. In practice, that means a small amount of sugar per dose.
How vitamin A works in your body
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Your body converts it into retinoic acid, a substance that affects the activity of certain genes. Thus, vitamin A is involved in the production and maintenance of skin and mucous membrane cells. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes and to the maintenance of normal vision. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. The 300 mcg per gummy, or 600 mcg with two pieces, is a modest supplement to what you already get through food. For most people, that is a great maintenance dose.
Just a bit about the other ingredients: iodine contributes to normal cognitive function, chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels, and folic acid contributes to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. Together with the other B vitamins, that makes this gummy a broad base formula. A tasty daily supplement with fourteen ingredients in two gummies. For those who prefer to chew a capsule rather than swallow it, this is a logical choice.
