New study on vitamin D gummies: legit or just hype?
Hey everyone, I just came across this study (PMID: 35980502) claiming that a certain brand of vitamin D gummies significantly boosted serum levels in deficient folks. Seems promising for those of us who hate pills. But the study was funded by the manufacturer... you think it's biased? I'm new to gummies, trying to ditch pills for keto-friendly options.
Ooh I saw that one! I'm always skeptical of funded studies, but honestly, I've tried a few Vitamin D gummies and my levels went up too. The taste matters a lot to me though - some are way too sugary. Did the study mention what brand? I need ones that don't taste like medicine.
I wouldn't take it at face value if it's funded. But I've read that vitamin D absorption from gummies can be hit or miss because of the gel base. Did the study compare to tablets or softgels? I'm still learning about this stuff, trying to find a mindful routine.
Good points! The study compared a specific gummy to a placebo, not to other forms. They claimed 2000 IU daily raised levels by 20 ng/mL in 8 weeks. I'm wondering if that's typical? I'm on keto so I need to watch the carbs in gummies too. Any recs for low-sugar D gummies?
I like the ones from "NuTriBlast" - they use monk fruit and taste like orange creamsicle! Not sure if they're keto-friendly though. Def check labels. And honestly, if you're deficient, even a funded study might be pointing to something real. Just don't rely on one study, ya know?
