I don't like taking medicine. Headache, stomach ache, cramps, aches and pains, whatever, I usually just go with it. Occasionally, an aspirin to take the edge off, but I don't even like to take vitamins-- I try to get my nutrients from my diet. My doctor and I don't always agree about this practice, but so far my blood panels have been fine.
Even so, the last time I saw her, she pushed the multi-vitamin again. "But it upsets my stomach," I grumbled.
She recommended gummy vitamins. "They're not just for kids, you know."
Reluctantly, I made the purchase and threw the bottle in my lunch bag. The next day after I finished my delicious homemade vegetable soup, all full of vitamins, and before I ate my clementine, also chocked with nutrients, I sighed and picked out two soft little orange drops.
And here I must confess that my doctor was right-- they were really good! I don't think I've eaten gummy anything since high school, but I always liked the bears back then, and suddenly I understood why my niece and nephew beg to take their vitamins each day. Yummy! I am a convert.
Salut!
I'm a 48 year old woman who eats gummy vitamins too just because they are fun! The "regular" type don't bother my stomach but the gummies are just more enjoyable to eat.
