If for example she needs 1/2 tsp of spirulina per day and you want the dose to be 2 gummies, then you would add 4 teaspoons of spirulina (8 doses worth) and use an 8×8 pan, cutting it into 16 gummies. Using the 8×8 pan makes more precise dosing much easier than using the silicone mold shapes.

Pineapple contains digestive enzymes that prevent the gelatin from solidifying.

I tried it with unflavored cod liver oil and they are TERRIBLE. Even I don’t want to eat them. We added a few other vitamins and 1/4 cup of unflavored oil which is a child’s serving between 16 servings of gummies. I’m now trying to sneak the gummies into smoothies. They do not taste like grape juice at all. We’re going to try using the fish oil topically. My kids do like the strawberry flavored kind mixed in with their strawberry nice cream.

I didn’t realize until after making these that her gummy molds must be much bigger than the little gummy bear ones I’ve seen. I poured it onto a cookie sheet with parchment and sliced into 1/4” thick squares and they came out to be about 1”x1” or so. I think the gummy bears are 1/2” or less so the serving size would be more than 2 with those.

I acrually used homemade dandelion flower tea as the “juice” and had to add a lot more honey. I scooped the syrup into a measuring beaker a fee scoops at a time, and experimented adding different vitamins to each ‘3 scoop mini batch’ (one scoop fills up one individual mold, so I know exactly how much vitamin each gel candy has!

My daughter is on an herbal protocol for babesia and can’t swallow pills, she has a hard time choking them down, so I hope this will help!

I need to make gummies for my Autistic daughter with a few different supplements, How do I know how much of the supplement to add to the recipe. Example a couple of the supplements she needs to take is Quersatrin or Spirulina. So how do I know how much to add? I like your recipe and it would work great for what I am in need of, and would really like to try it.

Fresh juice is the healthier option, but store-bought will work.

Trying to give this to my 3 yo who really likes gummies. Might as well do this one with his vitamins. For the juice, can I use store bought juice in a box or is it better for a freshly squeezed juice?

Hi there! How long can they last? Or must they be consumed same day? Do they stay in the fridge?

Katie doesn’t recommend consuming xylitol because of it’s potential negative health impacts. And you could use water but the vitamins likely won’t taste very good since the flavor comes from the juice. https://wellnessmama.com/12614/xylitol-healthy/

The Just Thrive probiotic is heat stable and fine to add to these. In general, if a probiotic can’t handle warm liquids, it won’t survive your stomach…

Is there any issue with adding probiotic and vitamins to warm liquid? I heard that it can affect their efficacy. But maybe it’s fine with this method, since the mixture is only warmed at low heat? I heard that’s not the case with minerals (like zinc, calcium), which are fine to add to a heated liquid. I appreciate your thoughts – I’m having a hard time getting my little ones to take things like cod liver oil and their probiotics!

I was thinking of emptying my vitamin b capsules and making vitamin b complex gummies. Would that taste horrible? I have never tried my b complex out of its capsule.
