I was recently sent some products from new Kiwi company, the Kiwi Goodness Company. You guys know how much I love my lifestyle and wellness products, so I was thrilled to be able to sample the new range of healthy gummies from this NZ brand.
The whole philosophy behind this brand is taking ingredients which have well-known health benefits and infusing them into easy to take, tasty gummies. This is an easy way to get a number of healthy ingredients without having to worry about swallowing tablets or trying to incorporate the ingredients themselves into your diet.
One other thing I love about the Kiwi Goodness Company is that they are New Zealand owned, and their gummies are manufactured right here in NZ. I am all for supporting NZ brands so this was definitely a brand I could get behind. They are also reasonable priced and attainable for the average customer, which also gives them a big tick in my book too! If that’s not enough, the gummies are gluten free, dairy free and gelatine-free, so are suitable for vegetarians.
MANUKA HONEY, TURMERIC, GINGER & LEMON
These are potentially the ultimate winter necessity – a gummy that contains a truck load of ingredients with the benefits of fighting off colds and flus, all while tasting extremely delicious!
These gummies have an extremely high quantity of Manuka Honey at 20%. Manuka Honey is well-known for being the ultimate immunity booster, as well as its antiseptic and bacteria fighting properties. Combined with Indian Turmeric which is known for being anti-inflammatory, and Lemon and Ginger which are well known immunity boosters, you have the ultimate combo for fighting any ailments this cold and flu season.
Each jar contains 60 gummies. Recommended dose is 2 gummies per day. RRP $29.99
MANUKA HONEY & APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
I’ll be honest I am NOT a fan of Apple Cider Vinegar. I know it’s so good for me, but try as I might I just can’t bring myself to drink it. So when I tried my first Manuka Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar gummy I really wasn’t sure what to expect…. but was pleasantly surprised! These actually taste really nice, and while they have a tiny hint of ACV, the honey adds a delicious sweetness that counteract the taste from the vinegar.
Like the Turmeric, Lemon & Ginger gummies, these ones also contain 20% Manuka Honey. They also contain high quantities of unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar which is quite the hero ingredient at the moment. ACV has so many amazing properties, for assisting with weight management, to helping with gut health. It contains essential minerals and vitamins that help to detoxify the body, as well as reducing viruses and bacteria, and increasing your digestive and gut health.
Each jar contains 60 gummies. Recommended dose is 2 gummies a day (which is equivalent to 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar). RRP $29.99
MANUKA HONEY, VITAMIN C, BLACKCURRANT & ZINC
This is the gummy that is designed for kids, and is recommended for kids 4 and up. I did try Jack on one of these cut up into small pieces but he wasn’t a fan as weirdly enough he doesn’t like anything sweet! I think it must be because I’ve never really given him lollies or anything sugary, but he refuses to eat anything sweet (he won’t even eat marshmallows!!) Once your child is old enough to eat and swallow a gummy, they should be fine with these, or you can do what I did and cut them up a little. Out of all of them, these are probably my favourite flavour and I could literally eat the whole pack, they are so good! Clearly I’m a big kid at heart!
These gummies contain 10% Manuka Honey, which is slightly less potent than the adult versions, but still gives the gummies a beautifully sweet flavour that kids will love. They also contain Vitamin C which is fantastic for immune boosting, Blackcurrant which is rich in vitamins and minerals as well as Omega-3 (great for brain development in kiddies!), and Zinc which is an essential mineral. These are a great way to get essential vitamins into your kids in an easy and fun way. They are also fab for adults too, and I enjoy taking these much more than my normal Vitamin C or Zinc tablets!
Each jar contains 60 gummies. Recommended does is 2 gummies a day. RRP $25.99
