How long after using the product did you start to notice things improving?
Hi! Looking at the ingredients on their website I am at a COMPLETE loss about how those gummies can possibly replace fruits and veg. I can't eat fruits and veg in adequate amounts because of gut issues but those gummies probably contain about 1 tablespoon max of actual fruit/veg juice in them. They don't mention the raw weight equivalent on the package probably because it's miniscule! 2 gummies weigh 5 grams, 4 grams of which are carbohydrates, out of which 2 grams are SUGAR (sugar is not a nutrient by any stretch of imagination!), 1 g of fiber (also not a nutrient!), maltodextrin is a second ingredient on the label (cheap carbohydrate filler!). And finally, we have powdered juice AND pulp of fruits and veg . I mean, HOW? You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that those gummies are mostly sugar and have next to zero actual nutrient value. Consider that 3 grams out of 5 is sugar and fiber! Then there is maltodextrin. What do you think is in the rest 1-2 grams, a bowl of fruit and veg magically reduced to almost nothing?

Hey! Thank you so much for posting this. The GP community is so small and sometimes it is easy to feel alone in the battle. But, I am looking forward to trying the gummies. It would be nice to get blood work back with normal numbers.
Seems like it's so much. What else do you eat throughout the day?
