Last year, when Courtney Nichols launched SmartyPants vitamins- cherry- and citrus-flavored gumdrops- she was bombarded with emails from envious parents asking, "Can I take these too?" So she and her cofounders created SmartyPants for GrownUps (with the same shape and taste, of course). Like the originals, Nichols says, they're the only all-in-one multivitamin gummies that contain 100% of the recommended amount of vitamin D as well as omega-3's (from eco-friendly, toxin-free fish oil). Plus, their candylike kick comes from organic sugarcane- not high fructose corn syrup. But the best thing about them? For every bottle sold, the company donates a month's worth of vitamins to children in need.

SmartyPants Vitamins: A Healthier Option for Kids
Do you know what’s in your child’s daily vitamin?
You might be surprised to find that it’s filled with high fructose corn sugar, artificial dyes, ingredients tainted with pesticides and lots of other not so good stuff.
To get kids the nutrients they need, the founders — Courtney Nichols, Gordon Gould, Breck Costin and Dr. Drew Francis — thought a lot about what ingredients to use.
Not only did they want their product to be as eco-friendly as possible, but they wanted to make sure it was packed with Omega 3 and Vitamin D because deficiencies are on the rise. The result: A yummy all-in-one multivitamin made with organic cane sugar, natural flavors and colors and tuna-free fish oil that’s low in mercury.
If you’re not pushed over the bad-mommy edge by one glaring headline (“Study Shows Kids Need Extra Vitamin D!”), another will come and take you down (“Omega-3 Fatty Acids Are Essential to Brain Development!”).
Pull yourself up with the help of SmartyPants, an all-in-one vitamin that takes the busywork out of raising healthy kids. Each gummy supplement is fortified with Omega-3s from ecofriendly fish sources (no need to worry about mercury) and 100 percent of the recommended amount of vitamin D3 (take that, sunblock). And instead of high-fructose corn syrup, they have the real stuff — just five grams of organic cane sugar per serving.
Plus, for every bottle you buy, the company gives a matching nutrient grant to a child in need through the nonprofit Vitamin Angels.

With six kids among them, integrative doctor Drew Francis, life coach Breck Costin, digital media expert Gordon Gould, and his real-life partner, entrepreneur Courtney Nichols, launched SmartyPants as a way to solve the "picky eater" problem. The result: nutrient-packed gummy vitamins that kids actually want to eat. And, for every bottle sold, the company makes a matching 1-for-1 nutrient grant to a child in need through a partnership with Vitamin Angels.
We have the knowledge in hand to prevent fully 80% of all chronic disease, and enjoy far greater vitality. Getting there from here is now all about the ‘how,’ and I’m a supporter of all efforts to simplify that journey. I love that SmartyPants is all about making it easier for people to follow the expert advice they get about nutrients.

The second my children tried SmartyPants they were hooked, but I thought that they were a little childish for me. Only problem is, I am not disciplined about taking vitamins (I have thrown out literally hundreds of dollars worth of un-consumed supplements) and couldn’t bear the icky burpy feeling I got after taking omegas, so I just didn’t take them. Thanks to the urging of my kids, I started popping SmartyPants and I found that I simply wasn’t forgetting anymore. Now the kids and I take our vitamins together every day. Guess it was time to grow up!

Everyone has the same 24 hrs in a day, but sometimes it's just impossible to dedicate enough of them to eating/sleeping/exercising/hydrating. SmartyPants helps fill in the gaps to keep my body healthy and my hustle flowing… all without the guilt of chugging something from a convenience store counter.
"SmartyPants, containing DHA and other essential nutrients, is an ideal supplement to a child’s diet. New research illustrates the importance of both DHA and Vitamin D for healthy brain development. As a pediatrician, I often hear parents concerns regarding their child’s nutrition and health. SmartyPants allows me the ability to recommend a healthy, natural, and great tasting vitamin."
Dr. Ben Ledewitz, MD Asst Professor of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
"As parents dedicated to the development of our children, we are inclined to choose the best of everything for them and are thrilled with Smartypants multivitamins for our two energetic boys. As a dentist, any fear of SmartyPants causing cavities or weakening teeth is insignificant because the sugar content is very low and the consistency is non-sticky so they do not sit trapped on teeth ."
Dr. Emanuel Layliev, DDS. Director, New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry
"Good nutrition is key to a child's healthy brain development. As a pediatrician, I know how hard it is to get children to eat a well-balanced diet, especially for hard to get nutrients like Omega 3 DHA and Vitamin D that are key to healthy development. SmartyPants helps parents ensure their children are getting all the nutrients they need."
