Potential benefits
Gummy vitamins have several upsides, including their desirable taste and the nutrients they provide.

Gummy Bears Were Originally Called “Dancing Bears.”
Hans Riegel decided he needed his new candy to stand out, so in 1922 he made his new gummy candy into bear shapes out of fruit gum and called them “dancing bears.” These are now known as the Haribo Gold Bears we see today! If they aren’t called Gold Bears, then they aren’t Haribo brand; they’ve never actually been branded as gummy bears, only ‘gummi candy’ as the package says.

These “gummy bears” arrived in the United States in the 1980s, where they became popular with American children and candy lovers. The 1990s saw two Oregonian parents look for ways to get their daughter to ingest vitamin supplements. They eventually launched Hero Nationals which introduced its gummy vitamin in 1995.

How to Choose Gummy Vitamins
When choosing gummy vitamins, it is important to look for a reputable brand and carefully read the label to ensure that you are getting the nutrients you need. It is also important to follow the recommended dosage guidelines.

Health considerations

Choking risks are higher with gummy candies; research shows that "hard, round foods with high elasticity or lubricity properties, or both, pose a significant level of risk," especially to children under three years of age. This can be resolved with the Heimlich maneuver.

Vitamin gums
There are also several multivitamin gummy bears that are typically marketed to men, such as chewable vitamins. This form of vitamins delivers nutrients and protein for those who don't swallow pills or need different supplements to stay healthy.

Shark gummies
There are also many types of gummy sharks, but the blue and white ones are the most popular.
