Results to Be Unveiled at the Food and Nutrition Conference, October 20-23
“We wanted to scientifically prove, for the first time, that the #1 gummy vitamin brand, vitafusion, was ‘bioequivalent’ to more traditional delivery vehicles, namely pills and tablets,” says Annahita Ghassemi, Director of Global R&D - Toxicology & Clinical Affairs with Church & Dwight Co., Inc. “Bioequivalence, in this case, simply means that two vitamins with identical active ingredients administered at the same dose but in different delivery forms possess similar bioavailability and produce the same effect. Both studies were conducted under scientifically robust testing protocols with healthy, adult female and male subjects of similar age and body mass index (BMI).”
Conducted by researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina, the vitamin D study concluded that, “vitafusion Vitamin D3 gummies led to greater bioavailability than tablets did through better intestinal absorption.” The vitamin C study, conducted by researchers from KGK Science, concluded that, “both vitafusion gummy and traditional caplet exhibited similar absorption and bioavailability and are considered bioequivalent.”
“Gummy vitamins are relatively new to the nutrition scene,” adds Laurie Kirschner, Director of Marketing for vitafusion. “As such, many people often wonder if gummies – because they taste so good – are as effective as traditional pill vitamins and may be hesitant to try them. It is now clinically proven that vitafusion gummies are equal to their traditional counterparts. And, there is certainly no question that consumers love the taste and enjoyable experience of vitafusion gummy vitamins. It’s always been my personal belief that because our gummies are so delicious, consumers actually look forward to taking their vitafusion vitamins, rather than avoiding traditional pill vitamins altogether because they are too big to swallow or have an awful aftertaste. And now everyone can feel confident that essential nutrients in vitafusion gummies are absorbed into your body – where you need it, when you need it.”
With nearly 30 variants of gummy vitamins and supplements, vitafusion is the #1 gummy vitamin brand in the United States. Since 1998, vitafusion has been revolutionizing the dietary supplement industry by providing A Better Way to Vitamin.
