GEM Bite Daily Multi transforms the multivitamin experience with chewable, real-food nutrient bites. Featuring Earthlight whole food vitamin D from mushrooms and 20+ nutrients in a convenient format.

GEM Bite Daily Multi revolutionizes the multivitamin experience with chewable, real-food nutrient bites featuring Earthlight whole food vitamin D from mushrooms. This innovative approach delivers essential nutrients in a convenient, tangy citrus ginger bite rather than traditional pills or capsules.

A New Approach to Daily Nutrition: One Bite at a Time!

GEM takes a fundamentally different approach to daily nutrition by delivering vitamins and minerals in actual food form. These square-shaped “bites” deliver 20+ nutrients from real food sources in a convenient, ready-to-eat format that requires no water and can be consumed anywhere.

Beyond Traditional Multivitamins, Thanks to PLT Health’s Earthlight

Most multivitamins come in tablet, capsule, or gummy form, often using synthetic vitamins and mineral salts. GEM’s approach focuses on bioavailable nutrients derived from whole food sources, potentially offering better absorption and utilization by the body.

The question in these types of products is what to do about vitamin D, as most sources are either animal-based or require synthetic chemical extraction and manipulation. The answer is PLT Health’s Earthlight, which we dive into in the article below.

Before getting there, if you’re looking for a plant-based, whole food alternative to synthetic vitamin supplements, then check prices below, and let’s have at it:

GEM Bite Daily Multi Ingredients

Each GEM Bite contains a blend of real food ingredients, with the following standouts:

• Earthlight Whole Food Vitamin D – 20mcg (100% DV)

  Earthlight: Nature’s Vitamin D Solution

  Earthlight is a revolutionary whole food vitamin D ingredient that’s changing how we think about this essential nutrient. Unlike typical vitamin D supplements derived from animal sources or requiring chemical extraction, Earthlight delivers natural vitamin D2 from mushrooms exposed to UV light, mimicking a process that has been occurring in nature for over 500 million years.

  Vitamin D has ancient origins, with evidence suggesting that primitive life forms began producing vitamin D precursors over 900 million years ago as a protective mechanism against harmful UV radiation.^[1]

  How Earthlight Is Made: Nature’s Process, Optimized

  Earthlight is produced from white button and portobello mushrooms that naturally contain ergosterol. When exposed to precisely controlled UV light, this ergosterol transforms into vitamin D2 through the same photosynthetic reaction that occurs in nature.^[2]

  Unlike other vitamin D sources that require extensive chemical extraction or manipulation, Earthlight has minimal processing required. Compare it to the rest:

  • Animal-derived vitamin D3 typically comes from sheep’s wool (lanolin) through a complex chemical process
  • Yeast-derived vitamin D2 requires solvent extraction with chemicals like pyridine
  • Lichen-derived vitamin D3 undergoes solvent extraction to isolate the vitamin

  In contrast, Earthlight is simply mushrooms exposed to light (a nutrient in its own right), making it a whole food nutrient that undergoes minimal processing while delivering highly concentrated vitamin D2.

  Clinical Evidence: Bioavailability Matches Supplements

  The key question for any nutrient source is bioavailability… can your body actually use it? Research demonstrates that vitamin D2 from UV-treated mushrooms is absorbed and metabolized with efficiency similar to supplemental vitamin D2 or D3.^[3]

  A clinical study on healthy adults with low vitamin D status found that consuming UV-B-irradiated mushrooms containing vitamin D2 increased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (the marker for vitamin D status) similarly to taking a vitamin D2 supplement.^[1]

  Another study found that consuming 2,000 IU of vitamin D2 from mushrooms was as effective as consuming 2,000 IU of vitamin D2 or vitamin D3 from supplements in raising and maintaining blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.^[4]

  Beyond Vitamin D2: Mushrooms’ Full Spectrum

  Interestingly, researchers discovered that some UV-treated mushrooms can produce not just vitamin D2, but also vitamin D3 and vitamin D4, providing a more comprehensive vitamin D profile than previously thought.^[1]

  

  Earthlight delivers on seven key consumer demands: whole food sourcing, minimal processing, clean labeling, high nutrient content, vegan formulation, non-GMO ingredients, and American manufacturing.

  Earthlight in GEM Bite Daily Multi

  Each GEM Bite Daily Multi contains 20mcg (800 IU) of vitamin D from Earthlight, providing 100% of the Daily Value. This whole food approach to vitamin D aligns perfectly with GEM’s philosophy of delivering nutrients in their natural food state rather than as isolated, synthetic compounds.

  For those following plant-based diets or seeking more natural nutrition sources, Earthlight represents a true breakthrough – delivering this crucial nutrient in a form that’s both vegan-friendly and minimally processed, while maintaining the scientific validation expected from premium nutrition products.

  The rest of the ingredient list is long, but here are some basics as to what you’re getting, and from what ingredients:

• Golden Chlorella (for Folate)

  This nutrient-dense algae provides natural folate and supports cellular health, offering a plant-based alternative to synthetic folic acid found in most supplements.



• Chickpeas (Vitamin K2 – 52mcg)

  Through fermentation, chickpeas become a rich source of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7), which plays a crucial role in directing calcium to bones rather than arteries, supporting cardiovascular and skeletal health.

• Quinoa Sprouts (B-Vitamins)

  Germinated quinoa sprouts provide a spectrum of B vitamins (including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, and B12), supporting energy metabolism and nervous system function.

• Additional Key Ingredients

  • Turmeric Extract (250mg of curcumin) – Supports a healthy inflammatory response
  • Beta-Glucan (187.5mg) – Derived from algae, supports immune function
  • Probiotics (2 billion CFU) – Supports digestive and immune health
  • Trace Minerals – From natural salt sources and pumpkin seeds
  • Prebiotics – From chicory root and other fibers to feed beneficial gut bacteria
