My kid thinks collagen gummies are candy – help!
So my 6-year-old found my jar of collagen gummies and started sneaking them like candy. I caught him with a handful and had to explain they're not treats. Anyone else's kids (or spouses!) do this? How do you keep them out of reach?
Weird flex, but okay. Maybe don't buy gummy supplements if you can't control your kid? I stick to pills anyway, gummies are just overpriced candy with a health halo.
I just make my own collagen gummies with grass-fed gelatin and real fruit juice. My kids actually hate them because I use tart cherry instead of sugar. Problem solved lol. But seriously, keep 'em in a high cabinet or lockbox.
I keep all supplements in a single jar on the top shelf. Out of sight, out of mind. Also, maybe teach your kid that some things are “grown-up vitamins” until they're older. Works for me.
Lol my husband did this with my biotin gummies. Now I hide them in my coffee canister. He never looks there. But collagen? I take the powder form now – no mistaking that for candy haha.
