Review of VitaFusion Gummy Multivitamins
Until you read the label, that is. I can only assume the manufacturer of these "vitamins" don't expect most customers to bother reading the label. That's because, if you do read it, you'll see you're not getting much more nutrition than you'd get from a gummy worm.
Yeah, they have some vitamins. If you eat two gummies, you'll get half the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B3 (niacin). Two of them provide just over 100 percent of the RDA of vitamin D, 100 percent of the RDA of folate and 200 percent of the RDA of vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Two of them only provide five percent of the RDA of biotin.
VitaFusion Gummy Multivitamins contain absolutely no iron, no zinc, no copper, no selenium and no vitamin B2 (riboflavin) at all. If you don't need any of those things, why do you even need a multivitamin?
Now, to be fair, gummy bears have only a tiny bit of calcium in them and no vitamin A, no vitamin D, no B6, no B12, essentially no vitamins at all, so you really would get more nutrition from these VitaFusion Gummy Multivitamins. But you wouldn't get enough nutrition to make it worth buying them, in my opinion.
Keep in mind that VitaFusion Gummy Multivitamins have 30 calories and three grams of sugar in a two-piece serving. That's about as many calories and as much sugar as you'd get in two gummy bears.
If you want a chewable vitamin that tastes like candy, well, there are a number of brands out there that resemble sweet tarts, like chewable Centrum. However, many of those other brands contain at least most of the vitamins and minerals we need and would make a far better choice than VitaFusion Gummy Multivitamins. If you're craving gummy candy, then go buy yourself a bag of gummy bears and eat a few. Just don't call 'em vitamins.
