GummyTalk Forum

Hey everyone! I was at Costco yesterday and saw their Kirkland Vitamin D gummies on sale for like half the price of the brand I usually get at Whole Foods. Has anyone tried these? Is the lower price a sign of lower quality, or is this just a total steal? I don't want to compromise on health, but saving money would be nice too!

As an amateur chef, I'm all about quality ingredients! I've actually used Kirkland gummies in some of my healthy dessert recipes. They taste fine - not as natural as some premium brands, but they dissolve well in mixtures. Check the label for fillers like gelatin or artificial colors. If it's just vitamin D with basic pectin, it's probably fine. Costco often has good deals on bulk items without sacrificing much quality.

Busy pro here - I grab whatever's convenient and affordable. I've been taking the Costco Vitamin D gummies for months now. No issues, and my last blood test showed my levels were optimal. For me, time is money, and if I can get a 6-month supply in one Costco run instead of multiple trips elsewhere, that's a win. Unless you have specific dietary needs, I'd say go for it!

Vegan activist perspective: ALWAYS check the ingredients first! Many gummies use gelatin (animal-derived) or questionable additives. Kirkland's version might be cheaper because they use less ethical sourcing. I'd pay more for certified vegan, organic options with transparent supply chains. Health isn't just about the vitamin content - it's about the entire production chain. Maybe the sale price reflects corners cut somewhere?

Thanks everyone! Great points all around. I checked the label - they use pectin (vegan-friendly) and no artificial colors. Greg, good to hear they worked for you! Ellen487, I appreciate the ethical reminder - I'll research their sourcing. Think I'll give them a try since it's such a good deal. Will report back if I notice any difference!
