Help! My kid thinks the gummy vitamins are candy!
So my 5-year-old grandson was sneaking into the pantry and ate a whole bottle of his gummy vitamins! I mean, they look just like gummy bears. I'm worried about vitamin overdose or something. Anyone else had this problem?
Oh man, that's scary but also kinda funny? Not the overdose part though. I keep mine in a high cabinet because my husband can't resist them either lol. They are delicious but def not candy.
I'm a wellness influencer and I always tell my followers to treat gummies like medicine! Maybe get a child-proof container or just store them out of sight. Also check with your doc about the overdose, but typically a single bottle won't cause serious harm (just upset stomach).
I've been making my own gummy vitamins with gelatin and fruit juice to control the texture. My kids hate the chewy store-bought ones. But keep them labeled! haha
Thanks everyone! He's fine, just had a tummy ache. I'm def getting a lockbox now. And HubermanHopeful, would you share your recipe? Maybe I can make them less appealing-looking lol.
