Myprotein Multivitamin Gummies: Naturally Flavored Multi

Although it may sound crazy to some of us who can swallow a dozen pills at a time, some people simply don’t like capsules! This is especially true for younger individuals who still haven’t mastered the skill of swallowing pills.

Never a company to leave anyone out, Myprotein is launching a new gummy series in their Myvitamins line. They’re beginning with the Myprotein Multivitamin Gummies, but should have more edible gummies on the way.

With gummy-based multivitamins, you don’t always get as massive of doses of vitamins, but you do get them in an easily-taken form factor — and they come at a fantastic price from Myprotein, especially when factoring in PricePlow’s coupons:

Myprotein Multivitamin Gummies

It goes without saying that the vast majority of your nutrition — inclusive of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, micronutrients, and macronutrients — should come from nutrient-dense food. We treat multivitamins as a “gap-filler” insurance policy, but the right vitamin for you is the one that helps fill the gaps that you ordinarily leave out.

In the case of Myprotein’s Multivitamin Gummies, the doses in each gummy aren’t massive (unless you double or triple down… which isn’t officially suggested, but some may do), so these are purpose built for Myprotein’s healthy followers who just want a healthy and delicious “topper” to their diet.

Below is what you get in each gummy:

• Vitamin A – 300mcg (33% DV)

  Vitamin A is important for immune system maintenance, growth / development, and vision.[1]

• Vitamin C – 40mg (44% DV)

  Vitamin C is used by numerous enzymes for tissue repair, neurotransmitter production, and is important for immunity and antioxidant protection.[2]

• Vitamin D3 – 5mcg (200IU, 25% DV)

  A hormone that’s created by the skin with sun exposure, vitamin D helps with calcium absorption, helping with strong bone formation and protecting against disease.[3]

  

  Remember that Vitamin D isn’t so much as a “vitamin” as it is a hormone produced by the skin!

• Vitamin E – 6.7mcg (45% DV)

  Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system by helping to protect the body’s cells against free radical damage. It also helps keep blood vessels wide.[4]

• Vitamin B6 – 0.5mg (29% DV)

  On top of being involved in over 100 known enzymatic metabolic reactions, vitamin B6 is important for brain development and immunity.[5]

• Folic Acid – 120mcg (30% DV)

  A form of folate, folic acid is required to create genetic material such as DNA, and deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, trouble focusing, and other issues.[6]

• Vitamin B12 – 2mcg (83% DV)

  Vitamin B12 also helps make DNA and other genetic material, and is additionally supportive of blood and nerve health.[7]

• Biotin – 30mcg (100% DV)

  Sometimes known as Vitamin B7, Biotin is involved in several biological processes related to metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids.[8] It is often included in formulas designed to protect hair, skin, and nails since biotin deficiency often leads to brittle hair.

• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) – 1.5mg (30% DV)

  Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) is important for food metabolism, and is primarily involved in the generation of coenzyme A (CoA) in order to process and synthesize fatty acids.[9]

• Iodine – 20mcg (13% DV)

  Iodine is an essential mineral that’s needed to make thyroid hormones, which affects the body’s metabolism.[10]

• Inositol – 10mcg

  Inositol is a type of sugar found in the brain that assists with cell signaling in neurotransmitters,[11] and is often included in many popular nootropic supplements.

Flavors available

Myprotein chose to naturally flavor these Multivitamin Gummies, and they’re brought together with glucose syrup, sucrose (sugar), water, gelatin, and sorbitol — so you won’t find any artificial sweeteners like sucralose on this label.

Don’t like capsules? Grab a gummy

Our typical readers aren’t afraid of smashing down a pack of nine (or more) pills, but there are some who don’t want to live that life. Myprotein has taken a break from their continual Clear Whey Isolate releases (don’t worry, more are surely coming) to bring a bump to their Myvitamins line. It’s in the form of a delicious, naturally-flavored gummy for Myprotein’s healthy consumer base.

Once again, we always have to focus on diet — foods that are high in protein and dense in nutrients. This isn’t the type of multivitamin that will have you dosed at 9000% DV, it’s a gap-filler and an enjoyable dessert after breakfast.

Question is, at this price and flavor profile, will you be able to eat just one?
