Organic/Non Artificial Gummy vitamins

sbl1881

Any recommendations for a gummy women's multivitamin that's either organic or not completely artificial? I am borderline iron deficient, so a little boost there would be nice too. There's so many options, I just don't know what to choose.

And, yes, gummies are preferred. My inner child doesn't like large pills.

Many gummies do not contain any minerals (no iron, calcium, magnesium, etc). Just vitamins. You have to read all labels.
Walmart has one a day women's pettites pills (2 per day).
Centrum has chewables normal multivitamins (artificial flavorings).
* Studies that say vitamins cause cancer are focused on large amounts of just one type of vitamin.
Ex: in large amounts, vitamin A, E, and even selenium can be dangerous.

@ barbs
I see no iron or minerals in that gummy - normal for gummies not go contain any.

I don't think that a USDA Organic Gummy Multi exists. Gummies use gelatin, and organic gelatin is difficult and expensive to source in large quantities. The other binders and surfactants that most vitamins use to form them into a shape that people can easily take also usually requires ingridients that can't be sourced according to USDA Organic standards. That said, there's still quality gummy multis on the market. Smarty Pants makes several varieties (Adult, Women's, Men's, Kid's) that all source naturally-derived vitamins and don't use artificial colors. Plus, they taste great! Nordic Naturals makes one called Nordic Berries, but you would have to take more of them to get the same doseage that you would get from a dose of Smarty Pants.

I can take a 2nd pill specifically for iron if the multi doesn't have it. Thanks @Barbs2222 , I was looking at Rainbow Light also.

@JanetYellen I appreciate your interest in this post, but please stop trying to negate other posts. I stated I'm ok if the multi doesn't have iron, so need need to comment on every response/suggestion I get.

Thanks!

Most multis with iron are either chewable tablets, crush-able tablets, or capsules. I can't really think of any gummies with iron included...I know Pioneer makes a good vitamin/mineral multi that's chewable, but it's a tablet.

If you need supplemental iron, I'd reccomend just taking that separately. That way, you could tailor the amount of iron that you're taking according to your current iron levels without affecting the amount of your multi that you're taking. Floradix makes a good iron supplement that's liquid, if tablets are a problem. Garden of Life makes a liquid as well, but I haven't done any research into theirs.

Look at the times. I did not see your response. Some of us have slower internet connections.
And in a way, it's helpful for people to know that their gummies contain no minerals.
One of them had 7 grams of sugar per gummy and the serving was 2.
That's another point to bring up in case someone has diabetes or just watching sugar.

More: Always consider local stores in your area.
Any GNC's, vitamin shoppes, etc. Even a Target or a Walmart might have something.
If for some reason, you don't like the taste, it can be an easy return.

@Strawblackcat thanks! I just looked up smarty pants. Seems like it's a little more expensive, but amazon has a coupon. I appreciate your suggestion!
