Premium Bioactive Ingredients
How are we different?
Our Gummy Bears contain a full 100mg of vitamin C as pure ascorbic acid plus 3mg of zinc as zinc citrate per piece. They are made with a base of valuable Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), derived from the natural inulin of the chicory root. Fructooligosaccharides, or FOS for short, belong to the group of dietary fibres. They are characterised by their mild sweetness and are associated with a range of positive properties. Among other things, they serve as a high-quality food source for beneficial Lacto- and Bifidobacteria in the gut and have a relatively low glycaemic index, which is favourable for blood sugar stability. While the use of artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes is common in the production of vitamin gummy bears, our gummy bears are made completely without artificial sweeteners and without the additional use of sugar.
For the production of our gummy bears, gelling agents that provide sufficient firmness and glazing agents that prevent the pieces from sticking together are necessary. We use purely plant-based gelling agents and completely avoid animal gelatin, which is often obtained from low-quality slaughterhouse waste. The gelling and stabilising agents we use are obtained from lemon peels (pectin), red algae (agar-agar), and the root tubers of the cassava plant (tapioca starch). As a glazing agent, we use plant-based carnauba wax, so our vitamin gummy bears are purely vegan. For acidity regulation, cheap citric acid is often used, which is mostly obtained with the help of moulds and genetically modified microorganisms. The use of phosphate compounds such as tricalcium phosphate is also widespread. Better alternatives are ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and citrate compounds such as sodium citrate, which are used in our vitamin gummy bears.
Our Vitamin C and Zinc Gummy Bears are characterised by a natural red berry flavour, and are gluten- and soya-free.
We use environmentally friendly amber glass jars for the packaging of this product.
