A vitamin C gummy without the mountain of sugar. This one is more than 90% fruit, with 40 mg of vitamin C per gummy. The sweetness and colour come from the fruit itself, not from added sugar. A light, daily supplement from the British brand Vegums, plant-based and plastic-free packaged.
What does vitamin C do?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin with a broad range of EU-approved claims. Vitamin C:
- contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism
- contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
- contributes to normal psychological function
- contributes to the reduction of tiredness
- contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth, among others
- increases iron absorption from food
The fruit base
What sets these gummies apart is the carrier. Instead of glucose syrup and refined sugar, there is 91.5% fruit in here: 65% apple juice, 26% apple purée and 0.5% lemon juice. The sweetness and colour come from the fruit itself. The small amount of sugar in the product comes naturally from that processed fruit, not from added sugar.
How do you use it?
- Children aged 3 to 12: 1 gummy per day
- Children from 12 years and adults: 2 gummies per day
You can chew the gummies calmly or let them dissolve in your mouth, preferably during or after a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
