Alive! Premium Adult Multivitamin Gummy

These are tasty enough that I have started being faithful about my daily multivitamin. I actually enjoy taking them! Do not expect actual candy. There is a mineral smell that may be familiar to anyone who has tried multivitamin wafers (gross) or multivitamin powdered drink supplements. However, I find that once you pop it in your mouth, it's largely overtaken by the fruit flavor, which is pleasant. Being made with pectin rather than gelatin, it is not the same texture as, say, a gummy bear, but it is not disgusting! I was pleasantly surprised. You are supposed to take three of these per day. What attracted me was the fact that they are vegetarian. I can put up with a vitamin smell and pectin texture; I'm just glad these don't contain gelatin. I used to get ravenously hungry at night even if I was well fed during the day, but when I've been taking these that doesn't happen. It makes me wonder if I was just craving nutrients I was lacking before. Taking a pill multivitamin on an empty stomach (or sometimes even a full one) makes me nauseous, but these never make me sick. My morning vitamin routine has moved from an unpleasant or neutral ritual to a decently tasty experience that I look forward to. These are supplements that are stuffed with fruits, vegetables and vitamins! It's a wonder they were able to make these as tasty as they are. I'd rather not have it packed with any extra sugar. I can eat them much more easily than I can gag down a horse pill. Definitely the best multivitamin I've ever tried. When these run out I'll be ordering more.

I don't want to be too descriptive, but I've always had a sensitive stomach. I'm very careful about what I eat because I am somewhat vomit-prone. I've always avoided taking hard pill vitamins, as I have in the past gotten very sick from the lingering metalic taste. Anyway, last week, I noticed Alive Multi-Vitamin Gummies at my local Whole Foods. I was intrigued enough to get the Practitioner/sales associated to help me. She told me a lot of people with my condition buy this ~ that my condition is very common. So, I've been on it for a week, and I'm o.k. I take the 3 gummies a day; I might've taken 6 as well, but I haven't had any nausea or the need to throw up. I wouldn't say it's really really yummy, but it is somewhat pleasant with a very slight vitamin aftertaste, which goes away quickly if you eat or drink something afterwards. So...if I can take this...so can you! I like these because it's Gelatin free! I don't know if it's enough vitamin for an adult, but I think taking little vitamin is better than none. I've spent a ton of money on them high dose dog bone vitamins in the past, but never could stomach to take them. A total wast of my money; I either gave them away or let them sit there to expire. This I know I can handle and stick to ~ and what's better...I can get a better deal on these vitamins on Amazon.

I have a sweet tooth, but these are unpleasantly sweet, like overpoweringly sweet, like if you take a spoon of syrup and forget to pour it on a pancake or waffle and instead pour it directly in your mouth, sweet.... So, why am I giving it 4 starts? Well, I'll tell you. 1. Consistency: These are the perfect consistency, not too chewy, doesn't stick in my teeth, and goes down easy. Never had a problem. 2. Look: I LOVE how these are shaped like actual red cherries, or purple grapes, or orange slices, without their being any fake colors in them like so many other gummy vitamins have. 3. No bad preservatives, lots of vitamins these days have potassium sorbate and other preservatives that I don't think we should have to take while trying to take something that's good for us (same concept as putting color dyes in our vitamins) 4. They have the vitamins I want in them and I like the "other" ingredients, which are listed on the bottle as: Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Tapioca Syrup...(Now, you are starting to get why it's so sweet, huh?), Pectin, Citric Acid, Colors from Natural sources ( maqui berry, black carrot, beta carotene), Natural Flavors (cherry, grape, orange) Sodium citrate (which is fine), Fractioned Coconut oil (non hydrogenated), Beeswax. So, if you can handle the sweetness, then this is an excellent vitamin. I think my elderly mother could and would actually enjoy the taste more than I do so I will be ordering it for her as well. Thinking about the other chewable and gummy vitamins from excellent name brands I have had in the past, this may be one of the better tasting ones, because you have to decide, do you prefer super sweet or super chalky? Yeah, I would go for these too.

Husband works on graveyard shift, these vitamins helped him a lot better than 2 other leading chewable multivitamins we're tried before. Upon delivery, it seemed that all the bits solidified in one piece but this may be caused by certain delivery and storage conditions. I just had to pull apart a few pieces and shake the bottle profusely. This is not a problem for me as the gelling agent used is pectin. Some vitamins use sugar crystals to keep the pieces from sticking but these vitamins are bare. The sweetness is very fruity. It may leave an aftertaste but a sip of water does the job. We will be sticking to these vitamins from now on. They're great. I definitely recommend this.

I am a big baby about swallowing pills, so gummies are my vitamin of choice. Unfortunately most of the gummies don't provide enough nutritional benefit. This one is an exception. It was important me be to have D3 and B12. This one provides more than 100% of the daily intake for each. This vitamin also contains every vitamin necessary for hair health including a 100% dose of biotin. Since it had everything I was looking for, I ignored the reviews saying they taste bad and ordered them anyway. After trying them, I really didn't understand what everyone was talking about. They smell like...vitamins. They taste good to me. The texture is a little different than most gummies I've tried. They aren't as chewy. I also love the inclusion of all the fruit and veggie powders. There are no artificial flavors or preservatives. The only thing that would make them better is if they included iron. Still this is my new favorite.

Smell is bad, texture is odd, and the serving is 3 gummies every day which is a lot. Flavor is fine and it has a good nutrient profile and good quality score on SuppCo.

Love the Vitamins!! After reading several good reviews and some bad ones too i decided to give these a try. I will agree to those who said that there is a vitamin smell and taste BUT hello... There vitamins not gummy bears. The smell inside the bottle is a little over powering but not terrible and the vita-gummy has a hint of vitamin taste but very tolerable and after a couple weeks i dont even notice it anymore. I expected them to be gummy but there not, they're chewy & i actually really like that. I deff recommend this product.

We just received the vitamins today. I ordered yesterday, before seeing the negative reviews about the taste. Well, my husband and I really like the flavor. They taste mildly sweet, and very fruity. The texture of another popular Gummy Vitamin is more like gum drops candy, and they have a generic pleasant flavor. I like these better. I bought them because the regular Alive Vitamin Tablets are gigantic, and sometimes difficult to swallow. And gummy vitamins are easier on the stomach. Anyway, these taste wonderful. Be careful of children who might wish to eat them as treats. It's normal for gummy vitamins to stick together a bit - We will be ordering more.
