VitaFusion Gummy Vitamins {Winey Mommy Review and Giveaway!}

Ever since Isabella started taking vitamins that were gummy vitamins, I have been jealous. I always wished that they made adult gummy vitamins because let's face it...I hate taking huge vitamin pills. I swear, I always gag on them and they leave an awful taste in my mouth.


I was recently able to try VitaFusion's Multi Vites and Power C gummy vitamins--for adults. I know! I was stoked to see a product that was made for adults, but also were gummy. I admit that at first I was a little apprehensive that they would taste good...I opened the bottles and sniffed. Hm....they smell good, maybe they'll taste as good as they smell?


I took them out of their containers and they were soft--not hard like a gummy bear that you would find in the couch after being there who knows how long. I popped them in and I loved them!! I can't wait to have Leo try them--and I know that these are supplements that I will not forget to take. They taste good and give me vitamins that I know I'm missing out on daily no matter how hard I try to eat foods that are healthy for me.


VitaFusion Gummies are gluten free and contain no milk, eggs or peanuts. They're made with natural flavors and colors, too. They have a large selection of vitamins to choose from to help you get supplements that are missing from your daily diet.

L'il Critters Gummy Vites Review

Being a Mom I am always trying to keep my daughters healthy. Once Isabella turned two I was happy that she was old enough to take a children's multivitamin. I try as hard as possible to serve her a nutritious of meals as possible, but that doesn't always guaranty that she will eat everything that I serve her.

Since turning two we have tried a variety of different types of children's multivitamins both gummy and chewable. She prefers the gummy type and since being aware of that I have searched for one that she will not put off eating. Some are too hard and certainly does not feel "gummy". Others are softer, but you can smell the vitamin smell as soon as you open the jar--which isn't a pleasant smell...


Our latest brand of gummy vitamins was L'il Critters Gummy Vites. After I opened the bottle I smelled it. I was relieved to smell a fruit scent and not the vitamin and mineral scent. I took two bears out of the bottle--they were soft like they should be. After giving them to Isabella she literally gobbled them up. I asked her if she liked them--her response was asking for more. I took that as a GREAT sign and I'm relieved to have finally found the vitamin for my family. Gummy Vites was the 2009 Chef's Best Taste winner--which I can say I agree with that award judging by Isabella's eagerness for more {don't worry--I didn't give her another serving!}.

L'il Critters offers more than just Gummy Vites for children. They have Calcium Gummy Bears, Fruit & Veggie Gummy Bears, and more. These are all made by Northwest Natural Products which produce the VitaFusion line for adults--gummy vitamins, Vitamin C supplements, fiber supplements, calcium supplements, and many more products. Northwest Natural has something for everyone in the family!

I love their website as well. It's easy to navigate and has information ranging from supplement facts, nutrition for your children to include sneaking veggies into their meals, general safety for all ages of children, and car seat safety info. Have an older aged child? They offer a kids club, too! Theirs a ton of fun info, puzzles, and games--I can't wait for my daughters to get a little older so they can play on the site with me on a rainy day.

In conclusion, I would recommend L'il Critter Gummy Vites to my readers. I'm very impressed with their high quality and how much Isabella enjoyed them.

A big thank you to Northwest Natural Products for supplying me with the products to review. No other compensation was given.
