Growth gummies: the short version

No gummy changes how tall a child will be or how fast they grow, and nothing here suggests otherwise. Growth is about genetics, sleep, overall health and eating a varied diet, and a pediatrician is the right person to talk to about concerns.

What a snack can do is make daily eating a little easier. Punchies are protein gummies with 1g of protein per gummy, vitamin C and vitamin D, and organic raw cane sugar. A 5-gummy serving is 5g of protein and 34 calories. Full label: Punchies.

Food first

Meals with a mix of protein, produce and grains are the foundation.

A tidy extra

A 5-gummy serving adds a small, countable amount of protein.
