If Bethenny Frankel claims a gummy is “excellent for your digestion,” I’m the first person in line. I’ll admit the social media buzz around the dark green, bear-shaped Grüns’ gummies was what initially caught my attention, but that’s not why I’ve stuck with these viral vitamins for over a month. I test supplements for a living, and multivitamins are usually my nemesis. I know I need them (I definitely don’t hit my daily quota of fruits and veggies), but I can’t stand swallowing pills, and powders are just a mess. I also have an insatiable sweet tooth, so I have to be careful about sugar content. Grüns come in both low-sugar and sugar-free versions, designed to fill nutritional gaps without disrupting your routine or disappointing your taste buds. The packaging is exceptionally convenient. You can take them anywhere. Work. Gym. Your bedside table for an emergency fix. The formula combines a blend of whole fruits and vegetables, delivering nutrients from ingredients like shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, parsley and spirulina — masked with fruit flavors from raspberry, blueberry, goji, acaí and more. Each packet also includes 21 essential minerals and methylated vitamins, such as A, B6, B12, C, D3, E, K2, Biotin, Folate, Copper, Iodine, Zinc, and Iron, totaling up to 100% of your recommended daily intake. According to thousands of reviewers and post-purchase surveys, the benefits of Grüns are far-reaching. Many users notice improved digestion and reduced cravings within the first month. With consistent use over time, more noticeable results may emerge, like increased energy, sharper focus, faster exercise recovery and even “healthier overall appearance.” I had to see for myself if Grüns was really as good as people were saying, so I started taking them religiously (a pack a day, as recommended, with eight gummies per pack). What surprised me wasn’t just the fact that I started reaching for Grüns, but it was also the fact that I wasn’t reaching for other sweet treats. Best Gummies: Grüns Super Greens Gummies Grüns aren’t your average gummy. These bite-sized bears are loaded with whole fruits, veggies, vitamins, minerals, prebiotics and adaptogens to fulfill daily nutritional needs. No fake colors or flavors and they’re non-GMO. Best of all, Grüns are served in easy-to-open individually wrapped packets to take on the go. Plenty of folks rave that these gummies satisfy their sweet tooth and curb cravings, guilt-free. That said, there are many more reported health benefits. After trying Grüns, 52% of users said they felt more energized all day, and over 67% noticed their overall health and well-being improved in just three months. Grüns is serious about quality and third-party testing. Each batch is tested for all 21 vitamins and minerals to make sure the label is accurate and that the gummies are free from heavy metals and other contaminants. All Grüns are manufactured in GMP- and NSF-certified facilities located in the U.S. and Canada. Key Ingredients: Organic greens and vegetables, Organic fruits, Organic shiitake mushrooms, Organic astragalus, Tapioca Fiber, Organic Inulin, Vitamins, Minerals New York Post Review I spent about 30 days swapping my usual mid-day sweet craving for a packet of Grüns gummies. Like many, I started out skeptical that something resembling a gummy bear could bear real benefits, besides the fact that Grüns, in my opinion, actually taste good enough to want to eat. I’ve tried my fair share of supplements — everything from protein powders and sleep aids to parasite cleanses and more bizarre concoctions. I know flavor and texture matter. But the real question is: do they actually deliver on their promises? With Grüns, I was especially curious to see if the better-for-you gummies could support my digestion, energy levels and even immunity. Over the next three weeks, I tracked changes in my overall well-being; how well I focused, the quality and duration of my sleep and my digestion. But I also noticed some unexpected benefits while taking Grüns. How to Take Grüns The great thing about Grüns is that they don’t dictate your day. Many supplements and vitamins come with strict instructions to take with food, water, or consume before bed or in the morning. According to the Grüns website, you can enjoy these gummies anytime — before breakfast, between meetings, on the go, or with a meal. This flexibility makes them incredibly convenient. I’ve previously tried to take green powders in the morning, when and if I have time to make a smoothie. That’s not necessary with Grüns. The gummies come in individually packaged packets that are easy to open and perfect for taking on the go. No cleanup necessary. Only one packet is recommended per day, and it’s carefully formulated to give you exactly what you need — so you really don’t need more. The tricky part is that they taste so good, you might actually crave a second bag. I found myself having to resist a few times. Flavor and Texture When I read that Grüns were packed with over 21 vitamins and minerals, my expectations for flavor and texture dropped a bit. I’ve tried plenty of bitter, chalky, vegetable-heavy vitamins, and Grüns are green, which somehow signaled to my brain that I would not enjoy them. We’re used to gummies being neon-bright, perfectly shaped, and smelling like a chemical experiment. Grüns gummies have a natural color, are slightly imperfect in shape, and actually smell like real fruits and vegetables. The scent is one of the first things I noticed: pleasant, but not overpowering. After popping a pack, I started to understand the hype. They’re mildly sweet with just a touch of earthiness, and the texture is soft and smooth. No jaw workout required. If you’re sensitive to texture, I’d bet you would be okay with these. If you like super-super-sweet things, they might not be your favorite. But, in my opinion, they don’t taste like vegetables or vitamins. The best part? Grüns regularly drops limited-edition flavors. We tried their Grünny Smith Apple at the office, and even our pickiest team member gave it a nod of approval. Their latest, Grinch Punch, is said to have a slightly tart twist, which is perfect for anyone who likes a little extra punch. Benefits Cravings: I’ve been taking Grüns daily for a few weeks now, and the first thing I’ve noticed is that they’ve helped curb my cravings. I no longer find myself reaching for a bag of chips or a typical sweet treat — even the sugar-free Grüns seem to satisfy me. Grüns flavor and serving size are just enough to keep me satisfied between breakfast and lunch. Many Grüns fans I’ve spoken to have noticed the same effect. Digestion: On the digestion front, you can expect improved regularity. Each serving provides 6 grams of prebiotic fiber, which goes a long way. I’ve always struggled to get enough fruits and vegetables in my diet, and raw veggies can be tough for me to digest. I can tell my gut is taking well to Grüns; my stomach feels settled, and I haven’t experienced any bloating or discomfort. Considering the long list of veggie powders in the ingredient list, that is pretty remarkable. Cognition: Some reviewers have mentioned that these gummies can help with focus, energy and cognition. It might be too early for me to say, but I haven’t noticed a significant difference yet. Over my 30 days of testing, my sleep patterns and energy levels have remained about the same. I will say that once I have my daily Grüns fix, my mood is substantially improved. Immunity: Grüns is also said to support immune health with vitamins C, D and zinc. With the cold season approaching, I was curious how I’d fare (I always get stuffy when the seasons change). During my time taking Grüns, I did catch one cold, but my symptoms seemed to clear up within a couple of days. Faster than usual. I can’t say for certain that it was just the vitamins, but I like to think Grüns gave my immune system a helpful boost. Final verdict: Does Grüns really work? Grüns was designed to fit seamlessly into people’s lifestyles, and in that regard, they definitely deliver. I keep some at the office, toss a few in my gym bag, and even have a packet on my bedside table for when hunger strikes. They’re easy to take and tasty enough that I actually remember to take them. I wouldn’t claim these gummies will completely erase dessert cravings or instantly supercharge energy and focus, but they do help keep me satisfied between meals, and I’ve definitely noticed some improvements in gut health. My results line up with what’s expected around the 30-day mark. After 60 days, the brand says users can expect added perks like radiant skin and improved focus. By 90 days, benefits may include better workout recovery, heightened alertness and even an overall healthier appearance. I wouldn’t be surprised if that proves true the longer I stick with Grüns. The bottom line: if one pack of gummies can deliver 60 nutrient-rich ingredients, I’m all in for it. How We Tested I took one pack of Grüns nearly every day for a full month, observing any changes in my mood, sleep, energy, digestion, and any other benefits. While testing, we also examined the ingredients list, testing certifications and the science that supports the Grüns formula — while also considering the flavor, texture, palpability, as well as packaging and convenience. Ingredients: Grüns packs a blend of whole fruits and veggies, plus functional mushrooms, prebiotics, and 21 vitamins and minerals to help fill daily nutrition gaps (including Zinc, Biotin, and Vitamin A, C, E). Many ingredients are organic and globally sourced, and the gummies are free from major allergens like gluten, dairy, nuts, soy and caffeine. Benefits: Grüns is designed to support cellular health and boost gut health through a blend of prebiotics and whole-food vegetables. Everyone’s experience is different, but most users notice improvements in digestion and reduced cravings within the first month. More significant results, like increased energy, better focus, improved exercise recovery and a healthier overall appearance, are expected with longer, consistent use. Taste and texture: Grüns gummies come in both low-sugar and sugar-free formulas, with limited-edition flavors released frequently. The taste is mildly sweet and not overpowering. Per our testing, it’s easy to pick up on the natural fruit and vegetable notes. Texture-wise, Grüns are soft, easy to chew, and taste fresh. Packaging: Unlike powders or capsule vitamins, Grüns gummies come in individually packaged packets, perfect for taking on the go. There are 28 packets in one full-size supply of Grüns gummies. The packaging is vibrant, the label is easy to read, and best of all, no cleanup is required with gummies. Testing certifications: Every batch of Grüns is tested for all 21 vitamins and minerals to ensure label accuracy and to confirm the gummies are free from heavy metals and other contaminants. They’re also manufactured in GMP- and NSF-certified facilities in the U.S. and Canada. Why Trust Post Wanted by the New York Post
