Having trouble eating enough fruits and veggies on the daily? You're not the only one.
The Goods Inside
- What is a “Superfood,” anyways?
- Prebiotics, the meal of choice for the trillions of microbes in your gut
- Antioxidants, aka your body’s bodyguard
According to the CDC,
90% of Americans don't eat the recommended 5-9 servings of fruit or vegetables on a daily basis.1
We all know that we should eat more fruit and veggies. They support our immune system, digestion and overall wellness after all. But between back-to-back meetings, drop-offs and pickups, and general life-ing, hitting your daily fruit and veggie goals can be easier said than done. (RIP the spinach that gets thrown out each week).
When it feels like the to-do list is growing faster than items can get checked off, we're here to take one thing off your plate.
A supergood, superfood gummy to help fill in the gaps. As a bonus benefit, it has ingredients to support your immune system and digestion.* That’s a win-win.
What Makes a Superfood a Superfood, Anyway?
You’ve likely heard the term “superfood” in conversations of kale and broccoli. What’s interesting is that the term “superfood” doesn’t actually have a legal definition.
We’re word nerds here at OLLY, so we follow the dictionary definition, “A food (such as salmon, broccoli, or blueberries) that is rich in compounds (such as antioxidants, fiber or fatty acids) considered beneficial to a person's health.”2
So when creating the ultimate superfood gummy, we wanted to spotlight antioxidants.
What Are Antioxidants?
So, what are antioxidants, and why do they make foods “super”? Here’s the scoop.
Antioxidants are your body's defense team against harmful molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells—they are best known for attacking your immune system and contributing to oxidative stress and aging.3 Playing defense, antioxidants neutralize harmful free radicals to limit (and prevent) their ability to cause damage to the body.
Antioxidants are found in your crisper drawers and fruit bowls. They add color to your fruits and vegetables like berries, broccoli and kale (all examples of Superfoods). They are also found in supplements (and can be more appealing and easier on the tummy than bushels n' bushels of broccoli).
What’s in the Formula?
These gummies have a whopping 15 Superfoods, including proprietary fruit and vegetable blends.
About That Equivalency Claim
Proanthocyanidins and Quercetin are fancy examples of antioxidants with some real health benefits.
†More specifically, three Superfoods gummies have the proanthocyanidins & quercetin equivalent of a ½ cup fruit & veggie.
What are Proanthocyanidins?
Proanthocyanidins are a type of antioxidant that’s been studied for its brain and body health effects. They’re responsible for giving fruits and vegetables like blueberries, cranberries and grapes their blue and purple hues.4
What is Quercetin?
Quercetin is one of the most prominent antioxidants. Because it has anti-inflammatory properties, it can help support a healthy immune system. Quercetin gives onions their yellow hues.5
So, why does this matter? Research shows that having foods and supps rich in antioxidants can help to improve health.3 Of course, no antioxidant is a miracle cure; incorporating various antioxidant-rich foods into your meals supports your body's overall wellness.
And that’s not all that’s in these gummies. They also have Prebiotics to support digestive health and Vitamin C to support immune system health.*
What Are Prebiotics? Hint: They Help Keep You Regular
Experiencing digestive woes? You’re not alone.
4 in 5 adults experience digestive discomfort and are looking for ways to improve their gut health to avoid this disruption to daily life.
We included the prebiotic Fructooligosaccharides (aka FOS). It promotes gut-friendly bacteria growth to support healthy digestion. As a bonus benefit, it helps keep you regular.*
Let’s dig a little deeper.
Your gut is home to thousands of species of trillions of little microbes.7 And to keep these trillion lil’ guys happy and healthy, they need to be well-fed. Their idea of a steak dinner? FOS.
Don’t count these lil’ guys out—they influence your health from head to toe, including immune system and digestive health.7
SOS! FOS
FOS is well-studied for its ability to improve gut health. Notably:
FOS helps support digestive health*
A meta-analysis (a type of research study) found that when people take FOS for over four weeks, they have a higher count of good gut bacteria.8
FOS helps keep you regular*
Studies show that taking FOS can help to relieve symptoms of occasional constipation like hard stools or skipped days. It can lead to more regular, softer stools (without getting too soft).9

How Does Vitamin C Fit Into the Mix?
Eating oranges for a healthy immune system is more than just an old wives' tale—there’s also science to support it. Oranges are chock-full of Vitamin C, an antioxidant best known for helping to keep your healthy immune system on track. It’s basically your health’s bodyguard.10
These Superfoods gummies are formulated with Vitamin C to protect your immune system.
Did you know? 70-80% of your immune cells live in your gut.11
Gut health🤝Immune system health. Keeping your gut happy can also help to keep your healthy immune system running.
