Starting our list, our pick for the best gummy multivitamin is Klean Athlete. Along with a solid all-natural formula and NSF Sport Certification, Klean Athlete delivers one of the best micronutrient breakdowns on our whole list. 

Klean arguably has the best vitamin and mineral breakdown of any supplement on our list. While many gummy options have low doses of most ingredients, Klean delivers an overall solid ingredient breakdown. In terms of vitamins, doses range from 69-4,167%, with most falling right around 100%. It’s worth noting there aren’t many minerals included, with only Iodine, Zinc, and Chromium being included in significant doses of 75-143%. 

In terms of formula, Klean Athlete is made with real fruit ingredients and no unnecessary artificial ingredients. It is also made with pectin, making it completely vegan-friendly. Also, it is NSF Certified for Sport, meaning you can trust the potency and quality of its formula. 

It’s also worth noting the relatively large serving size of 4 gummies, and the small package size of only 25 servings. 

Finally, this is the most expensive option on our list at ~$1.58 per serving. However, considering the quality of this formula, we believe it is still worth the money for those after a premium gummy multivitamin.

Next up is one of the most iconic brands of children’s vitamins, Flintstones. While they’re better known for their chewable tablets, Flintstones offers gummy vitamins as well. We mainly recommend these for kids, but they could also be used as vitamin gummies for adults who want a bit of nostalgia along with their daily dose of vitamins. 

Because these are meant for children, they have the most limited formula on our list. There are only 11 total vitamins and minerals included here, which is much less than a standard multivitamin. Also, doses are all fairly moderate, falling around 50% DV for a standard 2,000-calorie diet. While this may not be ideal for an adult, keep in mind it is meant for children.

This is a fully natural supplement, not containing any artificial dyes or flavors. However, it is made with gelatin so this isn’t a vegan-friendly supplement. Also, it doesn’t appear there are any third-party certifications for these gummies either. 

This product has a slightly larger package size than our top pick with each package having 90 servings at 2 gummies each. 

Finally, because there are many different prices on Amazon, it was difficult to pin down an exact price. However, based on the Flintstones Vitamins website, it appears these gummies will cost you about ~$0.25 per serving.

Next up, we have the first USP Certified product on our list from Nature Made with their adult gummy vitamins. These have a similalrly well-balanced formula to our top pick, Klean Athlete, although they do fall somewhat short in mineral content as well. 

In terms of vitaman content, Nature Made ranges from 40-125%, with most ingredients falling right around 100%. Similar to Klean Athlete, it only contains significant doses of 3 minerals — iodine, zinc, and chromium, which are all dosed at 50% DV. 

As with the previous options on our list, Nature Made contains no artificial ingredients, instead being made with natural fruit flavors. Also, as this product contains gelatin, it is not vegan-friendly. In terms of third-party certifications, Nature Made has a USP certification, which is a great indication of its quality. 

Each serving is 2 gummies, with 75 total servings per package. This means Nature Made falls somewhere in between our top 2 picks in terms of package size, and will last a little over 2 months with daily use. 

At ~$0.23 per serving, Nature Made comes at a similar price to Flintstones Gummies, although this will likely be a more complete choice for most adults.

Next is our pick for the best gummy vitamins for women from OLLY. However, if you’re looking for the best men’s multivitamin gummy, this is still an all-around great choice, especially considering it contains more minerals than most other options on our list. 

It’s worth noting that in terms of vitamins, OLLY is somewhat unbalanced. Most of its vitamins range from 50-500%, with several (Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6) all falling right at 100%. However, Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2 are both dosed at a very low 10%. Also, although this contains significant doses of 4 minerals – iodine, zinc, selenium, and chromium – these are fairly unbalanced as well at 23-100% respectively. 

Like all the other options on our list so far, OLLY is naturally flavored and colored with fruit-based ingredients. However, it does also contain animal-based gelatin like most other gummies out there. Also, OLLY is NSF certified, guaranteeing that this is a high-quality product. 

Each serving is 2 gummies, with each package containing 60 total servings. This means a bag of OLLY’s vitamins will last you exactly 2 months with daily use. 

At ~$0.30 per serving, these also fall right around the average cost for our list. Especially considering the high-quality, all-natural formula, OLLY offers excellent value for money in our opinion.

While OLLY had the first multivitamin gummies for women on our list, Nature’s Way is the first Women’s 50+ option. While there aren’t any major differences, this formula prioritizes Vitamin D as it’s a nutrient of interest for many older people. Still, it will be well-suited to pretty much anyone. 

As with many products on our list, this gummy has a fairly unbalanced formula. Its vitamins range from 25-200% DV, with Riboflavin, Niacin, and Vitamin C all falling on the low end of this range. As mentioned, you can expect plenty of Vitamin D with 200% DV. There are also very few minerals included here with only Iodine and Zinc being included at 100% and 25% DV respectively. 

As with most of the options we’ve covered, this is an all-natural formula, as well as being one of the few choices on our list to be vegan-friendly. It’s worth noting, however, that there are no clear third-party certifications for this product. 

As with most of the options on our list, Nature’s Way is dosed at 2 gummies per serving. With 150 gummies per package, this works out to 75 servings, which will last you a little over 2 months. 

Finally, at ~$0.22 this works out to be one of the cheaper supplements on our whole list, making it a great budget-friendly choice.

Next on our list is another woman's supplement, coming from One A Day. If you didn’t know, this is a brand owned by Bayer, which is the same company that produces Flintstones vitamins!

One a Day Women’s offers a fairly standard formula for our list. Its vitamins range from 50-166%, with solid doses of Vitamin D and most B Vitamins. Similar to the above option, the only minerals you’re getting at meaningful doses are Iodine and Zinc at nearly identical doses of 100% and 23% DV. 

As with the rest of our list, you can expect a naturally flavored supplement. Keep in mind that like most gummy multivitamins, this option does contain gelatin. This supplement also doesn’t contain any third-party certifications in case this is important to you. 

At 170 gummies per package and 2 gummies per serving, this is also one of the largest packages on our list, which should last just about 3 months. 

Finally, if budget is a priority, then One A Day is for you. Each serving will only cost you ~$0.19, meaning this is tied for the other One A Day multivitamin on our list which we’ll be covering below.

Closing out our list is an option very similar to the supplement we covered above. While One A Day’s women’s multivitamin is a great pick, their gummy vitamins for men are another great option which comes at the same budget-friendly price point, as well as having a high amount of selenium. 

It’s worth noting that this is a similar formula, just with a few higher doses. Its vitamins are dosed between 50-2000% DV. For whatever reason Vitamin D is dosed much lower here at only 50% DV compared to the women’s supplement which contains 125%. This is also a better choice for minerals as it contains Iodine at 100%, Zinc at 45%, and Selenium at 200%. 

Keep in mind that this is the only supplement on our list to contain artificial ingredients in the form of dyes, which is odd, especially considering the Women’s vitamin doesn’t have these ingredients. 

Beyond this, as you likely expect, many of the other features are identical to the above product. This supplement also contains gelatin, as well as having no additional third-party certifications. 

It has the same large package size as the other One a Day option on our list with 85 total servings at 2 gummies each. Finally, it also comes at the same great price of only ~$0.19 per serving.

When Might Vitamins or Multivitamins in Supplement Form Be Helpful?

It’s important to note that multivitamin supplements are not necessary for everyone. We recommend consulting with your doctor and getting your blood work done to see if you’re deficient in any specific vitamins and need to use a multivitamin supplement. If there are any vitamins you’re specifically deficient in, you may be better off supplementing certain micronutrients individually. 

With that being said, there are a few factors we’ll be covering below that will make you more likely to need a multivitamin.

1. If You Exclude Some Foods or Entire Food Groups

First, a major reason some people will become deficient in certain vitamins and minerals is if they have very exclusionary diets. For example, deficiencies are very common in both vegan and keto diets because of how many foods these people aren’t able to eat. 

In addition, this can be common in older folks as well, especially if they have trouble chewing more fibrous foods. This can lead to a more limited diet eventually leading to deficiencies, especially if they already eat a fairly low-calorie diet.

2. If You Have Malabsorption Conditions

Another common cause of vitamin deficiencies is malabsorption conditions caused by certain diseases. What’s tricky about these is that even if you’re eating enough of a certain micronutrient, your body may not be able to absorb enough of it to avoid a deficiency. 

In this case, you may benefit greatly from either a multivitamin or a targeted single vitamin supplement. If this applies to you, we strongly recommend getting your blood work done consistently and checking in with your doctor for additional advice about your diet and supplements.

3. If You Have Poor Appetite

Next, if you struggle to eat enough, you may very well become deficient in one or more key micronutrients. This is especially true if you don’t eat a very diverse diet on top of having a poor appetite. In this case, taking a multivitamin may be a good idea. 

However, you may also benefit from a meal replacement supplement which will add some calories and protein into your diet on top of some extra vitamins and minerals.

4. If You Cut Calories to Lose Weight

Finally, if you’re currently eating in a caloric deficit to lose weight, it may be a good idea to take a multivitamin to ensure you’re not becoming deficient in everything. With that being said, you should avoid eating in such an extreme caloric deficit to the point where you’re becoming deficient in anything. 

We recommend eating in a moderate deficit of only a few hundred calories and prioritizing low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods such as leafy greens and other vegetables in your diet. If you do this, you shouldn’t need a multivitamin supplement. However, they can still be a good way to ensure you’re maintaining optimal nutrition on a cut.

For Whom Are Gummies May Be a Better Option Than Pills or Tablets?

It’s worth noting that gummy multivitamins often don’t have super complete formulas when compared to capsules or tablets, especially when it comes to minerals. 

So, what are the benefits of gummy multivitamins over tablets? Gummy multivitamins may be a better choice as they provide a more enjoyable experience, especially if you hate the idea of swallowing pills.

1. If You Have Trouble Swallowing Pills or Tablets

First, some people have genuine difficulty swallowing pills or tablets. Especially with some multivitamins coming in servings of 4+ tablets, this isn’t for everybody. Chewable gummies are much easier to get down when compared with pills, even if they come in a large serving size. Also, gummies will be easier to take on the go as you don’t need water to wash them down!

2. If You Like Supplements in Chewable Form

Beyond potential difficulties with swallowing pills or tablets, gummies are just generally more enjoyable. Most of the gummies on our list are downright delicious, and you’ll be excited to take them every day. When compared to pills which can feel like a chore to take, we bet you’ll be more likely to remember your daily vitamin when it’s a gummy.

How to Choose the Best Gummy Vitamins?

If you’ve decided that gummy vitamins are for you over capsules or tablets, there are still a few factors you should consider. We recommend thinking about the brand reputation, as well as the formula and package size whenever making a decision.

1. Choose Products From Well-Known Brands

Whenever choosing supplements like multivitamins, it’s always a good idea to go with reputable brands. some smaller brands produce quality products, more often than not, long-standing companies will offer the highest quality formulas with the best value for money. 

If you’re not sure which brands are best, it’s a good idea to look for third-party certifications such as USP and NSF as well. These are strong seals of approval that guarantee high levels of quality in the formulas and manufacturing process of whichever supplement you’re buying.

2. Do Not Chase Megadoses of Vitamins and Minerals

When looking at the formula of a multivitamin, don’t be tempted by megadoses of 1,000%+ of your DV. While megadoses may be beneficial in certain cases when recommended by a doctor, more often than not they’re wholly unnecessary. 

In addition, because multivitamin gummies are fairly complex to produce, vitamin doses listed on the packaging are often lower than what’s included in the supplement. With there potentially being even more than what’s listed, this is yet another reason to generally avoid megadoses.

3. Count the Number of Gummies per Serving

Another factor to consider is how many gummies you’ll be getting in each serving. Because gummies are generally enjoyable to eat, there being a slightly larger serving size – as with Klean Athlete – may be a pro for you. Still, be aware of how many gummies you’ll be having every day, and how long the package will last accordingly.

4. Consider the Amount of Added Sugar per Serving

Finally, you’ll want to keep an eye on added sugar content. This is something we’ve prioritized on our list, largely choosing products with low amounts of added sugar per serving. Especially with added sugar being linked to obesity and diabetes, it’s a good idea to keep your added sugar intake as low as possible.

FAQ

Do Gummy Vitamins Really Work?

Yes, gummy vitamins will work as well as capsule or tablet vitamins. One thing to consider is that gummy vitamins have slightly different formulas to other vitamins, often being much lower in mineral content. If this is important to you, capsule/tablet supplements may be a better choice. 

Overall, effectiveness will largely be related to what you personally need. Whether it’s a gummy or capsule, only choose supplements with doses and nutrients that will benefit you most.

Are Pills Better Than Gummies?

While multivitamin pills typically have more complete formulas including more minerals, some people struggle with swallowing pills. In this sense, gummies may be a better choice if you struggle with pills as they’re a more palatable option.

Is There a Downside to Taking Gummy Vitamins?

The main downside to gummy vitamins is that they often have fairly incomplete formulas lacking in minerals. They can also be fairly high in added sugar if this is something you’d prefer to avoid. Beyond this, there aren’t too many downsides to gummy vitamins when compared to pills or tablets.

Conclusion

Multivitamin gummies are a great alternative for anybody who’s not a fan of swallowing pills or capsules. Keep in mind that multivitamin supplements in general aren’t necessary for everybody. We recommend getting your blood work done and speaking with your doctor to see if you could benefit from the use of a gummy multivitamin. 

If you’re interested in using a gummy multivitamin, our top pick is Klean ATHLETE Gummy Multivitamin for its high-quality formula and delicious flavor. We hope these gummy vitamin reviews can help you make a more informed choice!
