GummyTalk Forum

Hey everyone! I'm trying to find some good gummy vitamin packs or specific ones to give as gifts. One is for my dad who's in his late 70s - he's generally healthy but I want something to support his joints and energy. The other is for my friend who's super into fitness and always at the gym. I know gummies are popular with kids, but are there good adult versions? Any recommendations would be awesome!

Honestly, I'd be careful with gummy vitamins for older adults. They often have added sugars and fillers that might not be great for someone in their 70s. Have you considered just getting your dad some high-quality fish oil capsules instead? For your fitness friend, most 'performance' gummies are just marketing hype. They might taste good, but you're paying for candy with a vitamin label.

I make my own gummy vitamins! It's actually super easy with some gelatin, fruit juice, and powdered supplements. For your dad, you could add collagen for joints and some B vitamins. For your fitness friend, maybe add some electrolytes and branched-chain amino acids. I have recipes on my blog if you want to try DIY - way cheaper and you control the ingredients!

As someone who's always on the go, I actually love gummy vitamins. For your fitness friend, check out the Performix brand gummies - they have ones with caffeine and B vitamins that I take before workouts. For your dad, my mom (68) takes the Nature Made Multi for Adults 50+ gummies and swears by them. Just set a reminder on your phone to take them daily - that's what I do between meetings.

This takes me back! I remember when gummy vitamins first came out - we thought they were revolutionary! For your dad, I'd recommend the SmartyPants Adult Complete gummies. My husband takes them and they have a nice mix of vitamins plus omega-3s. For your fitness friend, maybe something with vitamin D and magnesium for recovery? The Olly brand has some good options that don't taste too medicinal. Just make sure they're not treating them like candy!
