Calories, macros & sodium.
SucroseSweetener
Added sugars and high glycemic load; dental caries risk
MaltodextrinBinder
Spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar (glycemic index 85–105). Research links it to gut bacteria changes that may promote intestinal inflammation (Nickerson et al. 2015). Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
Tapioca SyrupSweetener
High glycemic index similar to glucose syrup. Adds significant sugars and calories — often the primary ingredient by weight in gummy supplements. 'Organic' labeling does not change the glycemic impact.
PectinGelling Agent
Plant polysaccharide from citrus peels or apple pomace used to gel pectin-based gummies
Carnauba WaxCoating
Hard plant wax from the carnauba palm used to glaze gummies and tablets
Citric AcidAcidulant
Natural acid derived from citrus fruits
Sodium CitrateBuffer
Sodium salt of citric acid used for pH control, tartness, and chelation in gummies
Sunflower Seed OilCarrier
Common vegetable oil from sunflower seeds used as a carrier in softgels for fat-soluble nutrients
