GUM'vees Collagen Gummies in Mango come in a single 53 g bag holding 15 soft gummies, and the whole bag is one serving. Each bag provides 2,500 mg of hydrolyzed bovine collagen with vitamin D, vitamin E and biotin, all at 100% of the daily value. Gummy Nutrition Lab makes GUM'vees in Edmonton, Alberta, and sells this bag as a supplemented food.
Nutrition per bag
A 53 g bag of Mango has 120 Calories, 0 g of fat and 2 g of protein. Its 41 g of carbohydrate breaks down into 11 g of fibre, 39% of the daily value, 12 g of sugars and 8 g of polyols. Sodium is 35 mg. The supplemented nutrients are biotin (30 mcg), vitamin D (800 IU) and vitamin E (22.4 IU), each at 100% of the daily value. See Ingredients for the complete table.
What it is made from
The first ingredient is organic Canadian pea fibre, followed by sorbitol and FOS from sugar cane. Sweetness comes from Canadian beet sugar and Canadian honey rather than artificial sweeteners. The collagen is hydrolyzed bovine collagen of types I and III, already split into small peptides. Citrus pectin gives the gummy its chew. Natural flavour carries the mango taste and beta carotene powder gives the orange colour, with citric acid, malic acid and sodium citrate for a tart edge and carnauba wax to finish. GUMvees lists its gummies as gluten-free and free of the top 11 allergens.
How it compares
A tub of collagen powder needs a scoop, a drink and a stir. This bag needs none of those, which makes it handy at work or on a trip. The Prairie Berry flavour has the same collagen and vitamin amounts, so the choice comes down to taste: Mango is the sweeter, tropical one. For daily use, GUM'vees also packs 10 bags to a box.
How to use it
For ages 14 and older, eat one bag a day. Do not eat more than one bag in a day, and leave it out on any day you have another supplemented food or a supplement with vitamin D or E. Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
It suits adults and teens 14 and older who like a fruit gummy more than a collagen drink, and travellers who want a sealed single-serve bag. The collagen comes from cattle, so vegetarians and vegans should choose something else.
