*apologies this post ended up back in my drafts section, when it should have been uploaded and stayed uploaded quite a while ago.
I don't know if it was intentional given the release of the Barbie movie, but even if it wasn't Novomins were certainly on brand when they sent me a very pink box of assorted vitamin gummies to try.
Novomins are a new brand to me but one which have the type of product credentials I would look for in a vitamin brand. Their box states they are: GMP certified, science backed, doctor formulated, no artificial colours or sweeteners, non GMO, NSF certified, and 3rd party tested.
I was sent 3 different tubs of gummies, each with a 30 day supply. Raspberry flavoured gummies aimed at PMS and hormonal balance, strawberry meno-balance gummies, and peach flavoured fertility gummies. There's a shelf life of around 2 years on each product, which are also gluten free, cruelty free, and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
The one thing I did have trouble with, in terms of the packaging and information, was the small font size, in white on a pink background on two of the tubs which made it quite hard to read the full nutritional details.
These are described as premium nutrition with a price point (depending on product/retailer) of £17.99 (at the time of writing) with a subscribe and save option available if you want to purchase a regular supply.
My thoughts on multi-vitamins and gummies:
Before running a blog and having the opportunity to try some vitamin and nutrition brands, I'd just taken standard, and much cheaper multi-vitamins bought from a supermarket. I shied away from spending anything like this amount on vitamin pills or gummies.
I've also thought that, unless I had a reason to go to the doctor health-wise or perhaps paid for all the relevant tests privately, I would never know exactly what levels I have of vitamins and minerals in my body, whether I lack anything, have too much of anything etc. But as a 40 something, my body and what it takes in and absorbs is changing, and while I think I have a pretty healthy diet, and try my best to live well, I have felt I could be feeling better in myself, and more energised, especially around 'that time of month', so I was excited to try these gummies, and seeing which of them may make a difference.
Trying out the gummies:
I know have two empty tubs of gummies having gone through the 30 day supply of PMS Gummies, and Meno-Balance Gummies. It was easy to stick to a routine of taking them every day and getting into a routine with them. I took the PMS ones the first month and I was a bit sceptical as to whether I'd notice any difference between taking the gummies instead of a regular multi-vitamin. I think my mindset shifted though the second month when I was taking the Meno-Balance ones. I can't say for sure, but I did feel myself sleeping a bit better and feeling more energised
