so i fully admit i do not have the healthiest habits in the world. or even on the block. i kept telling myself i should take a multivitamin or something. but i am so adverse to popping any kind of pill. it's hard enough for me to remember to take the meds i have to take.
but one day i was bored and i went to target and i remembered that my 4 year old nephew loves to take his gummy vitamins. and i thought, hey, i like candy! i'll take candy vitamins too! i thought i would have to double dose on a kids vitamin, but they have gummy vitamins for adults too! yay!
they even have OMEGA 3s in gummies! hurrah! no nasty huge ass fish oil pill to take. i heard you burp up fish oil all day. groddy to the max. so i bought a bottle of target brand berry gummy multis for adults and a lil critters omega 3 gummies.
and being the kid that i am i look forward to taking my vitamins. i usually have them after lunch as my 'dessert'. it's like eating a pack of fruit snacks or something. i've found that in the month i've been using them i'm a lot more, ahem, regular, if you know what i mean. and my nails and hair have grown a lot faster.
i have since done some online research and found that there is an adult gummy version of the omega 3s, but i think i'll stick to the kids one since it seems to be working well for me. i know that taking vitamins isn't a novel idea, but still i thought i'd share anyway. the gummy verisons rock!

This is so weirdly timely for me. I've been wondering about candy vitamins for the past week or so, but I hadn't made it to the store to check. I'll definitely have to check out the gummies.
I started popping the vitamins regularly about a year ago. The best thing I have ever done. I actually take a women's daily multi-vitamin, fish oil, Vitamin D, and then glucosamine for my joints. My doctor recommended I start taking more Vitamin C a couple weeks ago, but I couldn't imagine popping yet another pill, so I haven't done it yet!
I've been taking the kiddie Costco ones for about 6 months now (I've been stealing from Ryan and doubling or tripling the dosage for me). You've inspired me to take the plunge and get the omega-3 ones now, too! PS- I started off with the Target brand, but had to move to the Costco brand fairly quickly because of my over-consumption!
Haha. I'm always soooo tempted to buy those Flintstone vitamins. Those are like candy.
