Over the summer, I was introduced to Olly vitamins thanks to a branded partnership we did for the Picky Eaters Club. The partnership was mainly to promote their kids’ vitamins but they also sent Mike and I a variety of their adult vitamins too.
It is rare that in my middle age, I adopt a completely new habit, but that, my friends, is what has happened. I am an Olly vitamin convert and I have been taking them every night since last summer, well after my free supply ran out.
Mike is an Olly vitamin convert too which makes the vitamins that much harder to keep in stock at our house. We both hoard the Olly Restful Sleep vitamins on our sides of the bed so that we have control over the supply. THEY REALLY WORK. We’ve doubled up in both the apartment and the summer house because we miss them when they aren’t there. On trips to Target, checking if we are low on Undeniable Beauty, Endless Energy and Ultimate Immunity has become standard procedure before we head out the door.
“Any chance you are working with the Olly people again?” Mike always asks when he notices he’s out of the Men’s Multi. So, he might have been the most excited when I told him Olly had reached out again. I believe his exact response was— “WOOHOO!!! WHEN CAN I PLACE MY ORDER????”
Your next question might be— What is so exciting about Olly vitamins?
Well, for starters, they are delicious.
Did I say delicious? I meant GOOD FOR YOU.
Well, actually both.
Olly was created to make the vitamin category fun, because you have to admit— choking down horse pills and gagging on fish oil should not be the key to a healthy lifestyle. Every time I’ve tried to start a vitamin regimen in the past, I failed because of one thing only— I don’t enjoy taking vitamins. It’s a chore and so I’d often skip days. Or I’d run out and I wouldn’t be particularly motivated to replenish.
Olly vitamins are mostly gummies, some plain and some with a light coating of natural cane sugar, in exciting flavors like blackberry blitz, grapefruit glam, sweet clementine and tropical mango. They use only natural sweeteners, flavors and colors with nothing artificial.
Their names are more fun too. Each variety is simply titled by the benefit you get from taking it, like Solid Bones, Vibrant Skin, and Hello Sunshine, which means you don’t need to have a PhD to pick your poison.
I’ve gotten into the habit of taking Beauty, Skin, Bones and the Woman’s Multi every day. Mike takes Energy, Sunshine and the Men’s Multi. We both take Sleep and Immunity when we need it.
You know when 10pm rolls around and you’ve already had dinner and maybe a little snack or dessert after and then you’re like— I just need a little extra something…
Olly vitamins fulfill that need perfectly.
When we received our recent shipment, I pulled open the box, and happily unearthed my favorites plus a few new ones like the Mega Omega-3 and Purely Probiotic.
Mazzy and Harlow gathered around the box, watching me pull out each package. When I was done, I set them all up together.
“WHAT?!!!! No Kids’ Vitamins?????!!!!!”
“Sorry, just adult vitamins this time.”
Did I mention Mazzy and Harlow are converts too?

Undeniable beauty!!
Definitely need the probiotic, sleep, and beauty!! Heck might as well throw in the multi-vitamin too! Lol
Goodness. That balanced belly would be a great experiment for my IBS and acid reflux. It would be great to be able to take a single funny rather than a cocktail of pills whenever I started to get sick.
I would love the Sleep vitamins! With a 5, 4, and 2 year old in the house, plus being almost 7 months pregnant, I could use some sleep.
I would love to try the prenatal!! I am expecting my third baby and would love to try something new!!!
I use the kids multi + probiotic ….my son loves them. There prebiotic has been great for my stomach too
I have been enjoying Olly vitamins for a while and I take the Women’s Multi, Solid Bones and Restful Sleep. I love them, especially Restful Sleep. Most nights, I chew just one and I get a good, deep sleep. But not too deep. I have a 4-year old and my mommy hearing still works great if she wakes up in the night. Also, my alarm goes off at 5:30am each morning and I don’t feel groggy.
I need the restful sleep and immunity as a preschool teacher. There is no such thing as too much immunity boost. I could also use the men’s multi for my husband. He is awful at swallowing pills.
Wow! These vitamins sounds amazing! I would definitely use the Women’s Multi and the Men’s for the Hubs. I love that they have a multi with Omegas and a separate vitamin filled with Omegas, DHA & EPA for Brain health, perfect for my kiddo with ADHD & ASD.
Between working over 40hrs as a chef and having troubles sleeping the restful sleeping would help… Also the omega 3 because I get migraine really well and fish happens to help that with working with your brain. And the Beauty because who has time to keep up on your skin nails and hair when you have no time to yourself.
I’d like to try the Essential Prenatal Multi. I’m breastfeeding so still required to take a prenatal daily.
Summer break starts in 2 weeks. Might need a Totally Calm to keep myself relaxed for the next 3 months
Olly’s Totally Calm, please.
I am potty training my stubborn 3-year old. Enough said.
The prenatals 🙂
The calm for sure I got a new job and it’s pretty high anxiety. The multi vitamin is a must and I have been looking for one, I also need a good probiotic!! I would also love to get my husband started too!
I want to try to beauty!
Hard to narrow down, my kids already take Olly vitamins. Round the Clock Mama would probably be the best !
ENDLESS ENERGY! Having 2 kids with a syndrome where a side effect is poor sleep… energy is a necessity and one can only drink so many cups of coffee.
Undeniable Beauty! I’m obsessed! They have been a game changer for regrowing my hair post chemo and I was introduced to them by none other than… YOU!
I love Olly! I subscribe now and if I could afford to order other options I would love to try endless energy or restful sleep. My kids take the kids multi with probiotic and the ultimate immunity and I always take the purely probiotic for myself.
I’ve been looking for the perfect probiotic, and I think I’ve found it with Purely Probiotic. I’m a teacher and even though the school year is coming to an end, I’m always looking forward to next year. Ultimate Immunity would be the perfect addition to my morning routine.
The restful sleep sounds like just what I need to shut my brain off at night and get some precious sleep!
I would definitely need the Restful Sleep!! I have a lot of trouble sleeping and have had to use not natural things when I’m really deprived (Benadryl, lorazepam), but I don’t like putting those chemicals into my body or have my sleep pattern rely on an unnatural substance, so it’s always short lived. It would be great to have the natural 3-ingredient combo give my body a little rest!
I need the restful sleep!!! Endless energy!!! How do you choose???? Oh my gosh!! Love the Olly supplements! And Target!!!
Sleep for sure!! And Men’s Multi for my husband who hates taking pills lol
I have a 4yr old climbing in my bed every night! I could use restful sleep!
After seeing the Restful Sleep vitamins on one of your snaps, I decided to buy them and give them a try. My husband & I love them. The first time we took them we couldn’t believe they actually worked!
I would love to try the Vibrant Skin.
I’m gonna go with the multi vitamins
I’m always looking for something to help me sleep better but with lots of allergies and tummy troubles, I’ve got my eye on the probiotics.
I need the prenatal since I’m nursing my baby, but would love the beauty since I’m feeling pretty haggard these days!
My kids already take these and we love them! I would love Round the Clock Mama! I haven’t seen that at our local Target and it would be awesome to try it!
I really need the sleep ones, and they’re a pretty color 😉
I just picked up the kids multi for my daughter and would love to try the adult versions for myself and husband – especially the immunity.
My husband and I need the sleep ones! We have 3.5 year old twin boys and they wake us up too early by jumping on our heads!
We love Olly vitamins here! Our faves are the women’s superfoods and the kids superfoods! And they taste good too!
Definitely Round the Clock Mama!
Either the round the clock or the sleep one… A full time job, a 3 & 5 year old and a husband in the military. I’m exhausted over here 🙂
I need Endless Energy and Restful Sleep… Because well, I’m a mom. I probably also need the Vibrant Skin or one that will wash and fix my hair.
I love the new kids vitamins. My kiddos use the Happy Tummy.
I could use some Endless Energy and Restful Sleep– in vitamin form and in general.
I totally want/need to try the restful sleep or the endless energy! I haven’t had a restful night of sleep since my baby arrived 18 mths ago and that causes me to have very little energy! #viciouscycle
The men’s multi because my husband hates remembering & swallowing vitamins.
Restful sleep, multi and beauty. But honestly these all sound great.
Only one? Waaaah! I wanna say all of them but if I only can choose one I’ll pick Totally Calm.
Ooo! A delicious substitute for the boring, albeit neccessary prenatal vitamins?! Definitely my #1 choice, for now anyway ;).
Definitely skin and immunity, can always use a little help in both areas.
I really, really need the woman’s multi-vitamin, vibrant skin, and as a working single mom, and a full-time student, I could really use the endless energy as well!
I’d love to have ALL of them in my arsenal, uh I mean medicine cabinet!
We currently use the olly sleep gummies. They are DELICIOUS!
I’d love for us all to start taking vitamins more regularly though! So starting with the women’s men’s and kiddos multi would be perfect!
Definitely Restful Sleep. But would also love the woman’s multi and a lot of other ones too. I need to graduate from the star wars gummy vitamins someday here soon.
I def need the Hello Sunshine as its never sunny enough in San Francisco for us to be getting the appropriate amount of Vitamin D. The Simply FIber would be helpful too!
The men’s multi for the ever traveling hubby, kids probiotics got the picky eater girls and women’s muti for me to keep up with all of them!!!!!! ?
I would love to try them all but mostly the restful sleep! These menopause hormones are driving me crazy!
Excited to try restful sleep and undeniable beauty! I was curious about these when I saw them at target and with your glowing recommendation, I’m sold!
Considering my 56 year old mom is currently in hospice, I need all the ENERGY and SLEEP I can get! A big “thank you” to you and your girls for being a little dose of humor in my life!
I just found out 2 days ago that I am pregnant! I’ll need the Essential Prenatal Multi please. 🙂
I know I’m probably supposed to just pick one…but I love that Round the Clock Mama set: Women’s Multi, energy and sleep. These vitamins look so yummy and I’ve always wanted to try them! Great packaging too!
Solid bones sounds great!!
Restful sleep would be heavenly! Being a light sleeper bites.
I would definitely need to use Ultimate Immunity, my kids bring home every strain home from daycare and I have been sick for months non stop. My co-workers pretty much hate me because I am always sick and hacking up something glorious 🙂
I need all the women’s vitamins since I rather buy for my kids than me but I really need, want would love Kids Multi + probiotics cause anything with probiotics is a homerun for me
Mens Multi! Well, because I’m a man 🙂 a dad who is getting old and is pretty tired with work and raising our two babes……
Oooo. Definitely the woman’s multi vitamin, but the purely probiotic and restful sleep for sure too! ???
I would definitely try the Round the Clock Mama set. We need all the help we can get – and I don’t suppose my kid’s character vitamins are really doing that much for me!
I could use the around the clock mama. I am currently running on 2 hours of sleep.
I’d love to try the vibrant skin- I’ve had horrible skin since college and having kids hasn’t helped at all. So I’d love to see if a vitamin could help!
I could definitely use the women’s daily vitamin preferable in the citrus flavor. I could also use the smell one too!
I would need the prenatal! For my first pregnancy I choked down the typical huge prenatal vitamins. This time around I’m going for the delicious gummies!
I could definitely use the Endless Energy! As an RN working 12 hour shifts I start to fade about hour 8. I will be giving those a try.
Ooh dang, would I love some restful sleep vitamins…especially since I’m reading this blog at 3am whilst feeding baby number 2. Women’s multi would be dope too. Why did I say dope? I don’t say dope…oh well, I’m rolling with it.
The Essential Prenatal multi because I’m still nursing, but I’m also a toddler mom so the energy would be an awesome boost!
I would love to try the kids multi super foods!
Definitely the probiotics!
I would love to try multi but would need sleep. Even if I don’t win I am going to target to buy Mt own to try.
I need all of them! But restful sleep would be a good start 🙂
How many of these can you mix ?
I would like to try every single one, but probably
Won’t be a good idea to mix all that so I guess I
Will start with vibrant skin and endless energy!
I would definitely have to go with the essential prenatal because my prescription just ran out, I’m 6 months post partum but still breastfeeding.
They all look so great! I think Endless Energy would be the one for me!!!
I just started giving my three year old the children’s multi vitamin with probiotics. He has always had some tummy troubles and in just two weeks of taking these vitamins we are already seeing a difference! He calls them his ‘candy’ because they taste so good! We love Olly vitamins!
I’ve been looking at these but have not picked them up yet. I definitely would benefit from the sleep ones or the energy…. Or maybe both. I have a teen and a toddler. I can keep up lol.
I will love the multivitamin. I’m always making sure my hubby and baby are well fed and taken care off but I sometimes neglect myself. A vitamin that packs all those essential vitamins will be a huge help.
Ooooo. I’d go with Vibrant Skin and around the Clock Mama. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin as I get a little bit older. I think I need to drink more water, but a vitamin wouldn’t hurt either!
These look amazing! I have been looking for D and B12 specifically, without all of the extra fillers. In the last 3 months I have discovered that my B12 is dangerously low, it’s so hard to bring it up naturally! Also, probiotics and multi vitamins for my children- especially my (5 year old) daughter who struggles with her gut because of severe food allergies.. Good probiotics are so hard to find. Thank you for shining the light on this company!
the restful sleep would be a must in my house. With crazy work hours it is often times in wishing I had something natural to help me sleep!
I LOVE these vitamins!!! My kids have just gotten hooked on the super food kids vitamins, and I love the women’s multi! I’d also love to be able to add endless energy and restful sleep to my daily routine, with two little ones there’s never enough energy to go around!
Wow, they have a much bigger selection than I anticipated. I want them all! I definitely would love my little ones to try any of the kids vitamins. I cannot find a vitamin that they will WILLINGLY take and enjoy(let alone all natural!), so I’m in desperate need of finding one. The immunity one sounds especially awesome. Between daycare and school, I feel like my kids are always sick. Thanks!!
Undeniable Beauty
I have 2 kids under 2… I need ENERGY…. ❤
I just bought Olly for the first time last week – I am taking the woman’s multi and I did get the restful sleep (took it once and was shocked at how well it worked!). I had the beauty, skin, sunshine, and immunity in my basket but didn’t buy them so I’d love to try any of the others. And I know I could get my husband to take the men’s if I brought some home.
I would love to try the restful sleep! My 3 yr old wakes up twice a night and I get up a few times to go to the bathroom…getting into a deeper sleep would be awesome!!
Oh man, I would happily trade in my horsepills for a tasty vitamin! Perfect women’s multi all the way! I’d also dose my kids. My youngest has almost got the hang of swallowing vitamins, but it is not easy!
I absolutely need the endless energy and restful sleep. Major life changes need major life adjustments!
I would love to try the omega 3 ones I have rumatoid arthritis and that is a big help for joint pain
I would love the Endless Energy variety. This single momma could never have too much energy! (Or Restful Sleep for that matter too! I think the two could really go hand-in-hand.)
All of them?? 🙂 prenatals immune energy and more! Kids stuff too!!
I need Endless Energy!
I have to say is like to try the Undeniable Beauty. I’m post partum with my third (and final) and I feel like I always look exhausted. My skin is dry and my hair is falling out constantly. They could use a little “dewy” 🙂
I’ve been struggling with vitamins for years, too! I could definitely use the Women’s Multi vitamins, but am also definitely interested in the Restful Sleep ones!
I could use the Round the Clock Mama, as a working mom of a toddler, and my husband could use Endless Energy! He definitely needs more energy, as our daughter and work tire him out like crazy!
I definitely need the
I definitely need the Totally Calm vitamins! Juggling school and a 5 year old and a 3 year old had my nerves going crazy!!!!
I just signed up for a subscription of the Vibrant Skin vitamins! Super excited to try them! I’ve been going through fertility treatments to have a baby and all of the shots and pills have wrecked havoc on my face. I look like a teenager again, but unfortunately, I don’t have the carefree disposition or boundless energy of a teen… Can’t wait for these to help!!!
