My problem with gummies is that they don't have any iron. I've been tracking my iron and it seems like I never get enough (probably because I don't eat much meat). I'm looking for something with about %30 of my daily iron in it, but I can't seem to find any. Does anybody know of a LOW dose multi-vitamin?

I take the hard one's too, I like the Flintsotne's (both versions) because they don't upset my stomach like the adult version.

They only have 15 calories and 3g carbs per adult serving (2 gummies daily).

I had that same thought.... but look at how much sugar is in those. For me, the sugar is bad. BUT, I found that I can take the Flinstone's Complete hard one, and they use sorbitol and not sugar-- no calories, and no sugar triggers... and I get to feel like a kid!

I've always had a hard time remembering to take my vitamins... until I got gummy vitamins! I keep them in the kitchen where I can see them, and then when I'm in there I remember to munch on two gummy vitamin bears!
I get my sweet craving at night after dinner. I don't feel like i've finished eating for the day until I have had a taste of something sweet - so I have 2 stand bys: Dark (70%) Chocolate and Gummy Vitamins. I don't have the chocolate every night, but I do have the vitamins! I take 2 gummy multis, 2 gummy C's and 2 gummy calciums. Its a handful of candy and a 60 calorie treat that has some real benefits.
