Remember those neon, sugar-packed gummies from your childhood?
The ones that tasted more like candy than vitamins, that you had to beg your parents to buy every time they took you grocery shopping. Well, we may have found the grown-up version, minus the dyes, outrageously high sugar counts, and unpronounceable ingredients.
Gruns gummies are TikTok's latest wellness obsession, instantly recognizable by their rich green hue and nostalgic bear shape. They're easy to take anywhere, surprisingly tasty, and, according to Bethenny Frankel and thousands of online fans, 'excellent for your digestion.'
Yes, you should expect to pay the premium for Gruns (honestly, we're surprised we haven't seen these gummies pop up at a ritzy Erewhon store yet). But if you order a pack of Gruns on Amazon, you can snag them for around 10% off.
The formula stacks up: Gruns combines 60 potent ingredients backed by 35,000 research publications — that includes organic kale, parsley, wheatgrass, spirulina, pomegranate, shiitake mushroom powder, and more fruits and veggies you probably wouldn't bother buying at the store. Instead of cramming it all in a single gummy, nutrients are spread out through the packet, perfect for those with pill fatigue.
'I don't like taking pills. The only ones I'll take are for my hair, and I have to muster it up…' shared former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star, Bethenny Frankel. 'They (Gruns) taste slightly sweet, but in a manageable way. It's not candy, it's not covered in sugar, but it's kind of a little treat.'
Frankel isn't the only celeb fan. A growing roster of high-profile names, including Joe Burrow, Shaun White, and Anna Kendrick, has backed the vitamin brand as investors. With new formulas rolling out and a hit sugar-free version already on the market, it seems that this is just the beginning for Gruns.
Considering all the buzz around these bite-sized bears, we had to see if Gruns are really worth it (the $66, to be exact). Find our Gruns review below, and browse more of our favorite greens supplements while you're at it.
Gruns
Pros: Gruns gummies are regularly third-party tested with Eurofins
Good amount of fiber to support healthy, regular digestion
Packs are very small, light, and easy to open — very easy to take on the go
Each gummy delivers 100% of your daily needs for key vitamins
Cons: While many users like the fruity flavor profile, others mentioned a somewhat earthy aftertaste
Gruns aren't just 'healthier' gummy bears. These sugar-free gummies are formulated to fill your health gaps with whole fruits, veggies, vitamins, prebiotics, adaptogens, and more essential nutrients. They're third-party-tested, clinically backed, and supported by thousands of reviews. A post-purchase survey revealed that 52% of Gruns users felt more energized throughout the day, and over 67% reported their overall health and well-being had improved since starting these gummies.

New York Post Review: The Post Wanted team's been passing these gummies around, and let's just say, they're now living rent-free on a few of our desks. They're mildly sweet, slightly earthy, and super soft to chew. Zero bizarre chemical smell. Sure, there's still a slight veggie aftertaste, but it's minimal enough that the amount of vitamins you're getting in every bite makes up for it. The packaging is another win: slim, sleek, and perfect for tossing in your work bag or slipping into a pocket on your way out the door. A few of us have even noticed they help curb sugar cravings, especially when the vending machine starts calling during a mid-day crash. And, on the digestion front, Bethenny wasn't kidding. These gummies get your gut into a good groove — expect improved regularity.
