Garden of Life Beauty Beets Gummies Review

The American brand Garden of Life make something very rare with their Beets Beauty product. Beet gummies that are actually reasonably healthy.

Most chewable beet supplements on the market are sweetened with either unhealthy glucose syrup or sugar alcohols, like maltitol and isomalt, which can cause digestive upsets for many people.

In Garden of Life’s beet gummies, the sweetness comes instead from organic apple, raspberry and blackcurrant juice and puree. This would require more cost and effort from the company, but I for one think it’s good to see brand’s working to make their products healthier.

Garden of Life beetroot gummies also have vitamin C from organic acerola fruit and lemon juice, as well as silica for better skin from bamboo extract. Even the biotin and vitamin B12 in these gummies come from a type of nutritional yeast, rather than synthetic sources.

Overall, Garden of Life’s Beets Beauty are the most natural beetroot and fruit gummies I could find in all of my research. If avoiding chemicals and unhealthy additives is a priority for you, then this brand is a solid choice. You can see them here on the brand’s Amazon page.

How Are Garden of Life Beets Beauty Gummies Sweetened?

The main sweetener in these gummies would be organic apple puree and juice since it’s listed first on the label. Organic raspberry, lemon juice, acerola juice and blackcurrant also add to the flavor and taste profile in that order.

There’s no fattening glucose syrup or gas causing sugar alcohols in these chewables, which is extremely rare to see. Almost all other beet gummies on the market use one of these as their main sweetener.

Pros & Cons

Pros

1. All organic ingredients with 500 mg of beet concentrate combined with healthy raspberry and blackcurrant, vitamin C-rich acerola and lemon juice, plus bamboo extract for skin-supporting silica.
2. Vitamin C from organic acerola juice and high doses of biotin and vitamin B12 derived from nutritional yeast.
3. Other ingredients listed are pectin, potassium citrate, organic natural flavors, and rice meal for dusting. This is far less than most beets gummies that are usually loaded with unnatural additives.
4. Sweetened with organic fruit juices and puree rather than sugar, glucose syrup or sugar alcohols.
5. Positive customer reviews for both health benefits and taste on Amazon, with a 4.5 stars out of 5 rating from over 520 consumer reports.

Cons

1. 25 calories, 3 grams of added sugar from the organic fruit, and 5 grams of total carbs per 2 gummy serving. That’s less than brands made with glucose syrup, such as Spring Valley, Havasu or Horbäach, but still more calories and sugar than taking beet pills like Total Beets, SuperBeets or even Rosabella Beetroot.

Garden of Life Beauty Beets Gummies Verdict

Garden of Life’s beetroot gummies are healthier than the vast majority of competitors. They have all organic ingredients and combine beetroot, apple, bamboo extract, acerola, lemon juice, raspberry and blackcurrant.

In a rare move, this brand decided to skip using either sugar alcohols or glucose syrup in its gummies. Instead they are sweetened with organic fruit juices and made chewy with natural pectin.

If you are going to take beet gummies, I think Beets Beauty by Garden of Life is the one of the best options. You can find them here on the brand’s Amazon page.

Realistically though, no beet gummies or chews can match capsules for value per serving. And beetroot powers like SuperBeets Energy Plus Powder offer significantly higher dosages and better ingredients.
