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?

With the history of osteoporosis in our family I would love to try the Bones vitamins.
I need a whole stash!! Mainly endless energy since I just picked up women’s multi and fell in love!! ❤️❤️
If Restful Sleep comes in a bottle, sign me up pretty please!!!
Restful sleep would be a must for me! When all is quiet and everyone is snoozing I’m the one tossing and turning and feeling exhausted in the morning 🙁
I need the Restful Sleep and Women’s Multi. We could also use the Kids and Mens Multi!
What a fun website they have! I think I need the Purely Probiotic. Yay digestive health!
Sleep for sure! No matter what I do I struggle to wake up in the morning!
Ooh! Sunshine and sleep. When these two things are happening, I am a happier mom for sure.
I need the Energy and the Sleep ones!!!!
The Perfect Women’s Multi – Berry would be perfect!
I would love to try undeniable beauty!
I would love purely probiotic, ultimate immunity, super food multy and the prenatal.
There are so many good ones to choose from. I think I most need the Endless Energy and a Women’s Multi. With two boys (ages 6 and 2), there’s never enough energy to keep up with them and the multi would balance out everything else.
Prenatal Multi and Kids Happy Tummy…and Kids Multi, too!
I don’t know any mom who couldn’t use the Endless Energy! But I’m most intrigued by the Totally Calm – although of course I’d pick the non-gummy!
Heading to Target tonight – these are now on my list!!
Any Multi-Vitamin would be awesome — I am so awful at getting all my veggies in!
Restful Sleep at night and Energy in the morning, please and thank you. I’m a mom who is under a lot of stress right now (I know, who isn’t? But even for me, it’s a bit much) and my brain has started waking me up in the middle of the night, mind racing, and won’t let me fall asleep. PLEASE HELP ME.
Vibrant skin, sunshine and bones!!! A gal needs to make sure she has some strong bones to take on the world!!! xoxo
I could really use the restful sleep! I started working again and am finding it hard to fall asleep at night!
I could definitely use endless energy to keep up with my kids somehow endless energy.
Go With The Gut and maybe the Omega 3s. We’ve tried to start a vitamin regimen so many times. Maybe it’s time to try again with these!
ALL OF THEM! But if just one…Restful Sleep for sure. This momma needs some sleep!
Energy! Energy! Energy!
As a college student who absolutely loves your blog, the Endless Energy would probably be my number one choice with a close second being Restful Sleep. I imagine both of these helping me combat the stress and anxiety that comes with being a full time student who works two jobs. The battle between needing more sleep and needing more energy is never ending.
I’d love to try the restful sleep and the prenatals!!
Round the Clock Mama for sure!
I could use so many of these, I’ve never seen these types of vitamins before, super excited to try them out. The one I could use the most right now is totally calm. With all that I’ve got going on in my life right now, I could definitely go for some reduced stress and calm. Thinking about heading to target right now to pick some up. So glad you shared this with us!
I would LOVE the vibrant skin boost! I have struggled with acne and would love a little pick me up. Nothing I have ever researched in skin vitamins has the ingredients that Olly offers so I would love to give it a shot!
RestfulSleep. hands down. Ever since I’ve gotten my cool new fitbit, I’ve been getting the data to back up what I ‘ve known all my life: that my sleep is terrible.
These look yum! I like that they have no high fructose corn syrup, but how do I choose among the kids vitamins?! I want them to be brainy, have strong bones, AND happy tummies. No matter what I choose, I’m a bad parent LOL.
So many to choose from!! I would start with the Ultimate immunity and Sunshine 🙂
Thanks for telling us all about them! Excited to try them out!
I want to try the pre-natals as my first baby is due in December and the vibrant skin because eventhough I’m 30 I breakout like I’m 14!
I’m dying to try the probiotics and one for energy. I will be shopping their site for sure.
Bonafide Babe! And maybe some Vibrant Skin too 🙂
Amazing how many times I must have walked in a daze past these vitamins in Target and never noticed them. I’m so excited to give them a shot! Probiotics first caught my attention, but Restful Sleep sold it. All I’m looking for is 6 hours… not too much to ask. ZZZzzz Target’s on the shopping schedule this weekend and I’m making a beeline for the vitamin aisle. Thanks so much for sharing.
I could really use the Restful Sleep vitamins! And after having a really bad sinus infection last week and trying to deal with my kids, I could definitely use Immunity!
Restful sleep is a must! My twins turn 2 months tomorrow, and they’re only getting bigger and louder haha.
Restful sleep would he amazing, so I will go with that one!
As single mom to a lovely and lively little guy I’m putting in my vote for the kids brainiac. I want the best for my little guy and will do everything possible to ensure a bright future for the little fellow.
Endless energy without a doubt and restful sleep. You can’t have one without the other right?! These are two every mom in the trenches of motherhood needs.
WHY have i never heard of these bad boys. No one here (Scotland) has introduced me to them! Shameshameshame. I’d love to try them all. Are they ok to combine??? Undeniable Beauty would be a defo though. Since having my darling Georgia 1 year ago I have wee tufty bits o hair everywhere, creepy looking demon man nails, and skin that is as vibrant as a tattie. I’ll be signing up for this here product so thank you times 1 squillion for brining it to my attention. Xx
Endless Energy. Without a doubt.
Energy, please. Please? 🙂
I just checked out the products and ordered the Probiotics. It was the same price as what I’ve been using, so I thought, let’s give this one a whirl. I would love to try the immunity support the next time I fly.
Women’s multi, energy, solid bones…I need it all!
Everyone in my house needs Ultimate Immunity!
I think I need the sleeping beauty or around the clock mama combo! Our second baby is coming Monday and I’m getting no sleep right now!
I need ALL of them! But if I could only choose one, I would choose the multivitamin! I don’t have much time I regulate everything I’m not getting on a daily basis and this will take care of multiple things!
It was a toss up between restful sleep and endless energy. But if I got better sleep, I might have more energy!
Going for improvement inside and out, I’d like to try the women’s superfood multi, balanced belly and vibrant skin!
Sure could use the Round the Clock Mama vitamins! Up so early busy though the day.
Definitely prenatal since I am 10 weeks along w baby #2. Endless energy wouldn’t be so bad either since I’m running around after a very busy toddler!
I could use the restful sleep ones. I currently take melatonin and the gummy ones are just nasty tasting. I would also like to try the skin ones. I have horrible adult acne and my skin is a mess.
Endless energy or antibiotics.
Probiotic not antibiotics.
Undeniable Beauty and Restful Sleep sound like the perfect combo for me!
Restful sleep!!!! Zzz
I need the Immunity boost and the sleep ones! I am a full time working mom to a 14-month old boy and he keeps me on the move! By day I am a medical social worker so I need the immunity boost while I help make people’s lives better in the hospital! Thanks for your awesome blog and Instagram- I love it! We used to live in NYC so it’s quite nostalgic!
I think I would most benefit from the sleep or calm one. I work full time and come home to do toddlers. I think the stress of being the main bread winner in my family is getting to me and these would help bring some relief and maybe relaxation to my life. The energy one would be great as well since I’m always so busy! I don’t know they all sound so great!
Endless Energy!!!!! ??????
That Balanced Belly seeks like a helpful aide to keep my belly troubles in check! Here’s to hoping I’ll get to try it!
Restful sleep would be amazing, I have 4 under 5yrs old.
Oh man, I could use all of them! But, I really want to try the Undeniable Beauty. And the superfoods multi.
The Round the Clock Mama combo pack would be amazing since the little people run me ragged around here!
Ultimate immunity – I work at a school so I’m around all sorts of kid germs all the time!
Chasing a 2 year ago while preparing for another baby, I definitely need the Round the Clock Mom group of vitamins!!
Restful sleep sounds perfect for this mommy!
Totally Calm.
I would love to try the prenatal vitamins because I am expecting! 🙂
The women’s multi! I need it all haha.
Really hard to choose because they ALL sound wonderful, but I guess I would pick Kids Super Brainy or Kids Mighty Immunity first!
Definitely Endless Energy or Restful Sleep! I haven’t slept through the night since my 4 year old daughter was born. Endless energy would help me keep up with my two daughters!
I would love to try the vibrant skin and endless energy. My two year old keeps me busy around the clock so some extra energy couldn’t hurt!
Ultimate immunity!
Definitely need Round the Clock Mama. I’ve created a vicious cycle of staying up too late, napping with the toddler and then staying up late again!
I can use quite a few of these, as can the fam, but at the moment some Endless Energy sounds right up my alley! Being a working mom is exhausting!! ?
Round the Clock Mama!!! I definitely need them!
I’m always low on vitamin D, so the Hello Sunshine one’s would be good
I could use the super food multi, energy and skin. These look amazing. I may have to try them even if I don’t win!
I would love to try the vibrant skin….we all would love this as we age…right?
definitely need undeniable beauty
The beauty ones and the sleep ones sounds perfect for me! I’m gonna have to pick some up.
Immunity would be the first one I’d try. I would try them all actually 🙂
Hello sunshine !!! My vitamin D is soo low than im having other health issues because of that. It wont stop raining in DC. Wheres the sun!? I miss it #gimmeD
I’d have to go with the round the clock mama!
I need the Perfect Women’s Multi – Citrus
I want the round the clock mama!! And the immunity!!! With my sick little wall lickers I NEED that!! Seriously my son has to touch every single wall as we walk his sister in to school!! Talk about a germ magnet!!
All of them!!! But endless energy is mostly needed right now in my crazy life!!
New baby on the way! I need prenatals!
Restful Sleep- I don’t think I’ve slept well in 12 years… Restful sounds wonderful!
Ultimate Immunity!!!! This year I got every cold that my 2nd grader brought home and they lasted for weeks each.
Oooooh! Restful Sleep and Endless Energy would be great!
I have thyroid problems and maybe these will help!
The women’s multi vitamin and beauty! I travel a lot for my job and I don’t always get my vitamins in my food
I would definitely greatly benefit from the round the clock mama. I have a two year old and a three month old, so needing this right now. ??
Restful Sleep, for sure
Perfect Women’s Multi Citrus. I double checked and this one does not appear to have iron, which is a relief. I can’t take anything with iron, which can make things difficult. Combine my worry about the iron with the fact that I HATE to take pills, and I just don’t buy myself multivitamins. If these are yummy, I just might take them!
they all look perfect to try it, i think i could use Undeniable Beauty
They all look great!! If I had to pick one I need most, I’d say Total Immunity or the Sunshine D vitamin…I’m a new mommy & am getting no sleep, so I need to keep my immune system strong!
I’d try the Totally Calm vitamins. Thanks for the giveaway!
I really need the Restful Sleep!!! Currently using the Women’s Multi in Berry and LOVE it.
I need the prenatal one! Im still supposed to take prenatas cuz I’m breastfeeding and the ones I get from Costco are gross!
