Gummies vs. Powders:
Which Is Best For Your Health?

The best greens powders often contain all-natural, nutritious, whole foods with little to no additives or fillers.

‍‍Meanwhile, gummies may include fillers, gelling agents, preservatives, artificial colors, and added sugars (depending on the brand). The gel-forming compounds are necessary to give the gummies their chewy texture, while the sugars and sweeteners ensure the sweet taste expected from gummy bears.

Greens powders are packed with real superfoods and often include probiotics and digestive enzymes—giving your body more nutrition per serving and directly supporting digestion, nutrient absorption, and steady energy.

Gummies, by contrast, fill much of their serving with sugar and gel bases and often lack gut-supporting actives. They also lose nutrient integrity during manufacturing, making their doses less reliable for consistent health benefits.

Greens powders typically have no added sugar, as they use natural sweeteners (like monk fruit or stevia) to enhance their flavors.

‍‍These candy-like supplements often contain added sugar (or sweeteners) to achieve their sweet taste. Unfortunately, these sugars can have a negative impact on your gut microbiome and oral health. Even sugar-free gummies that use natural sweeteners may cause indigestion.
