My kid thought my beauty gummies were candy – now I have to hide them! Anyone else?

So yesterday I caught my 6-year-old sneaking my 'glow boost' beauty gummies. He said they were 'yummy bears' and ate a whole handful! I freaked out but he was fine, just a little hyper. Now I keep them in a high cabinet. Anyone else's kids (or spouses!) mistake these for candy?

Haha, my husband did the same with my collagen gummies! He was like 'oh these are good' and I'm like 'those are for my skin, bro!' Now I have a stash in my camera bag lol. But for real, my toddler hates the texture – she spits them out. Says they're 'too squishy'.

My son refuses to touch them because 'they smell like fake fruit'. He's 8 and super picky. I actually prefer the pectin-based ones over gelatin for texture. But yeah, I've had to hide them from my marathon training group – they thought it was candy too!

We need to be careful with kids and supplements! Even if they're 'natural', overdose can happen. I keep all mine in a lockbox. But my wife tried one of my omega-3 gummies and said it was 'like chewing a rubber fish'. Noted. Texture is a dealbreaker for some.
