Vitafusion Adult Gummy Vitamins


Through Smiley360, I received Vitafusion Adult Gummy Vitamins for free in exchange for my review. Opinions are definitely mine.

I tried the Beauty Sleep ones first since it was bedtime when I finally opened my box. They tasted like Cherry-Vanilla, exactly like the bottle says. It contains 3mg of melatonin to support sleep. Definitely take them before bed, because they will make you sleepy within the 30-60 minutes. I don't remember when I fell asleep, but it was a little faster than normal. I do remember still tossing and turning though. So, no, you're not going to sleep like a log.

The Hair, Skin and Nails gummies taste like raspberry. We'll see if they help keep my nails from chipping and the rest looking better than usual. 

I decided not to try the Relaxed Mood vitamins that contain L-Theanine, to avoid a possible drug interaction with my blood pressure medication. Always check drug interactions with what you take for health; both doctor prescribed medications and over-the-counter medications and supplements. 

Edit 4/30/16

So, I only take the Beauty Sleep vitamins when my brain won't shut off before bed, and I'm thinking of a million things that definitely can wait 'til morning. It's the perfect thing to help shut the thinking off. Any other time, I'm good and fall asleep like normal with out them.

The Hair, Skin & Nails gummies are just a multi-vitamin with extra Vitamin A, C and Biotin that supports above features. I can't tell if they're supporting anything extra, because my hair, skin and nails always start to look better in the spring after we get out of the dry winter around here in Utah. After a while I just forget to take them. 

I did find that the Hair, Skin and Nails gummies have this odd texture with little pieces of gelatin that didn't seem to get fully dissolved. Sometimes like the chewier skin that forms on Jello. It could be something in the multi-vitamin formula that doesn't make the solution as smooth. But hey, if you think you're not getting enough vitamins everyday and your hair, skin and nails look horrible year round, give them a try. They're better than some giant horse pill vitamins.

Update 6/5/19 I revisited the Vitafusion Hair Skin & Nails gummies in a new post here.
