GummyTalk Forum

Hey everyone, I'm a mom of two toddlers and always on the lookout for healthy supplements. I saw these Llama Naturals gummies advertised as vegan and organic with no added sugar cane. Sounds too good to be true! Has anyone actually tried these? I'm skeptical about gummy vitamins in general - aren't they just candy in disguise? Would love to hear real experiences before I spend money on this.

FitnessFanatic25, I'm so glad you asked! I've been using these Llama Naturals gummies for my 4-year-old for about 3 months now. As a health enthusiast who reads every label, I can confirm they're legit. The ingredient list is clean - real fruit, organic ingredients, and the vitamin D3 is from lichen (vegan source!). They use monk fruit as sweetener instead of sugar cane. My kid loves the cherry flavor and actually asks for them. The texture is perfect - not too sticky or hard.

As a busy professional with a 3-year-old, convenience is everything. I've been using these for about a month. Quick question for GummyGuru12340 - how many do you give daily? The bottle says 2 gummies, but my pediatrician said my kid might need more vitamin D. Also, FitnessFanatic25, I was skeptical too but my kid has fewer sick days since we started these. The no-sugar thing is real - no energy crashes after eating them.

Thanks for the input! GummyGuru12340, that ingredient breakdown helps. FitnessFanatic, glad to hear about fewer sick days - that's exactly what I'm hoping for. My main concern is whether they actually get absorbed properly. I've read that gummy vitamins sometimes have lower bioavailability. Has anyone noticed tangible health improvements? Also, are they really toddler-safe? My 2-year-old still chokes on some chewy foods.

FitnessFanatic - I stick to 2 daily as directed since they're concentrated. For extra vitamin D, I'd consult your pediatrician first. FitnessFanatic25 - great questions! The vitamins are in methylated forms for better absorption (B12 as methylcobalamin, etc.). My kid's iron levels improved on blood tests after starting these. Regarding choking - they dissolve pretty quickly and aren't super chewy. I always supervise my child while taking any supplement though. Pro tip: store them in the fridge if your climate is warm!

Thanks GummyGuru12340! I'll ask our doctor about the vitamin D. FitnessFanatic25 - to answer your safety question, my toddler handles them fine. They're softer than regular gummy bears. One thing I'll add: the 2-pack is cost-effective compared to buying single bottles. My advice would be to try one pack first to see if your kids like them. The cherry flavor is mild, not artificial-tasting. Anyone know if they're planning other flavors?
