Other Ingredients (5)

SucroseSweetener

Added sugars and high glycemic load; dental caries risk

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.

Lemon OilFlavor

Essential oil from lemon peel used as a natural flavoring agent

Natural FlavorsFlavor

Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.

Purified WaterSolvent

Water meeting USP specifications used as solvent/vehicle in gummies and liquids
