Poor quality gummies can have several problems, which not only reduce their effectiveness, but can also pose health risks. Here are the most common problems.
1# Low nutrient content
Some low-quality gummies may not contain the nutrient levels listed on their label, meaning they do not provide the expected benefits.
2# Quality and purity of ingredients
Substandard ingredients or inappropriate additives may be used, such as artificial colors, flavors or preservatives which may be harmful or cause allergic reactions.
3# Consistency and durability
They may have an inconsistent texture, be too hard or too soft, or deteriorate quickly, affecting their consumption and storage.
4# Presence of sugar and additional calories
Some gummies may contain high levels of sugar, making them unsuitable for those watching their sugar intake or calories.
5# Absorption and effectiveness
The formulation of some gummies may hinder the absorption of the nutrients they contain, reducing their effectiveness.
6# Inaccurate or misleading labeling
Labeling may not accurately reflect nutrient content, or make unproven or exaggerated health claims.
7# Contamination
In extreme cases, there may be problems with contamination, either by harmful substances or by undeclared allergens.
8# Drug interactions
Without proper regulation and clear warnings, some gummies may interact negatively with other medications.
9# Country of manufacture
Pay attention to the origin of the country of manufacture. Each country imposes more or less rigorous regulations on food supplements. In France, gummies are governed by strict and very punctilious rules.
