Bacillus strains are spore-forming, which is the argument for them in a shelf-stable gummy — the spore survives ambient storage and stomach acid where most Lactobacillus strains do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three additions work as a group. Vitamin C and zinc carry the most substantial evidence behind immune function, and zinc appears as \u003cstrong\u003ecitrate\u003c\/strong\u003e — better absorbed and gentler than the oxide in cheaper products. Beta carotene rounds it out as a provitamin A source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is organic Canadian pea fibre and citrus pectin rather than the corn syrup most gummies use, sweetened with Canadian beet sugar and coloured with black carrot juice concentrate. \u003cstrong\u003eSet with gelatin, so not vegetarian or vegan.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Your Preference Kombucha Gummies with Vitamin C and Zinc Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor adults who want vitamin C and zinc through the colder months and would rather it arrived with kombucha and a probiotic than as another capsule.
