Vitamin Friends

We all want what is best for our children. We give them lots of love, feed them healthy food, and give them a vitamin every morning. You’d think taking a vitamin would be a good thing. But did you know most gummy vitamins contain gelatin (made from animal parts) which isn’t absorbed well and can stick to teeth and cause cavities? Vitamin Friends makes the highest-quality gummy vitamins without gelatin, giving your kids, and the rest of the family, all the goodness of supplements without the downside of gelatin and other unnecessary chemicals.

Vitamin Friends relies on pectin, not gelatin, to create its non-sticky gummy vitamins. Pectin comes from citrus peel so it’s 100% natural, high in fiber and an ingredient that our bodies respond well to. Pectin does not melt like gelatin when exposed to high temps. Most people don’t realize that Gelatin is a mixture of peptides and proteins extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish. Most Vitamin Friends products are vegan (some have honey), 100% are vegetarian.
