Why does the daily gummy feel like a win that isn't landing?
Here is the quiet worry that follows a lot of parents around: your child eats beige.
Toast, plain pasta, maybe a stray cucumber if the wind is right. So you buy the gummies to bridge the gap and tell yourself the box is covered.
But the picky eating doesn't budge. The tummy still grumbles. The colds still make the rounds every term.
So you start wondering whether the thing you reach for every morning is actually doing much at all — or whether it's just something sweet that happens to be shaped like help.
That instinct is worth listening to. A gummy is engineered to survive on a shelf and please a child's mouth. Whether it nourishes their gut is a separate question entirely and it's the one no one on the jar wants you to ask.
