It’s very expensive to operate a gummy startup. The good news is that as we become a bigger company, our costs will go down, and we will pass those savings on to you. In the meantime, the price for our gummies is what we need to charge to make sure we stay in business. We really appreciate your understanding and your continued support for our small business!

Our gummies are processed in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and milk. While there are specific practices in place to avoid any cross contamination, it is recommended to avoid eating our product if you have allergies to these ingredients.
We use Allulose, a non-artificial sweetener found in wheat, raisins and figs. Because it isn't metabolized by the body, it doesn't raise blood sugar or insulin levels and provides minimal calories. However, we always recommend that you speak with your doctor if you have health or diet-related concerns before consuming these gummies.
