What makes Gutsy Gummies good for your tummy?
Great question, we are glad you asked. Gutsy Gummies is mostly made of Gelatin, which is pure protein. Protein is great for tissue building and repair, particularly the amino acid Glutamine, which is a great food for enterocytes (gut cells). It also contains vitamin C which supports connective tissue structure and function.
Can I put the Gummies in my kid’s lunch box?
No sorry! We do not recommend putting Gutsy Gummies in your child’s lunch box. Although this sounds like a super fun idea, your gummy will melt if it gets warm, so it’s best to consume your gummies straight from the fridge.
How much should I give to my child?
Short answer: as much as you or they want!
Long answer: There are 3 preparations in a can. We recommend you divide each preparation (made with 50g of gummy mix and 350mL of water) into 6 separate serves. Tried and tested on our own families, a serve of this size went down a treat for adults as well as kids as young as 12 months. This is the size that we have based our nutrition information panel on so you know what nutrients you are getting.
What do they taste like? and what gives them their flavour?
Gutsy Gummies uses a combination of premium refractance dried fruits and Australian made, plant based, natural flavours. We also use a hint of thaumatin which is a very sweet protein sourced from the katemfe fruit.
Strawberry - Classic sweet strawberry taste.
Mango - Refreshing, tropical, mango and citrus taste.
Blueberry - A gentle, sweet blueberry and apple flavour.
Can I use Gutsy Gummies to make Jelly instead of Gummies?
Yes you can, however keep in mind that you have to add more liquid to achieve a more jelly-like consistency. Adding more liquid will dilute the natural flavour of Gutsy Gummies, so you may prefer to use juice rather than water if you are making jelly
Is Gutsy Gummies vegan & gluten free?
Gutsy Gummies is made mostly from bovine gelatin so they are not vegan. They are gluten free and suitable for kids 12 months+.
