Are gummy vitamins as good for you as regular vitamins?
On
In short, no.
Vitamins need to be protected past the acid environment of the stomach, which is one reason vitamins and minerals (and pharmaceuticals/drugs) are best absorbed from a tablet. Other reasons include stability (ability for the vitamin and mineral to retain potency and its proper form) in the preparation and through the digestive track. Also you will notice that the formulations of gummy vitamin and mineral products are quite inferior to a good tablet preparation simply because you can't put certain nutrients in specific amount or mix them properly in a gummy delivery system.
Below is our recommendation for the proper daily MVM formula, which must also be in a tablet to make sure the nutrient delivery is protected and controlled:
