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?

I’m currently homeschooling my 4 kids, I could really use the Endless Energy!
Definitely the Vibrant Skin!
…. Or the Restful Sleep, she posts at 4:30am.
I need the Ultimate Imunity and the Purely Probiotic! I’m going to buy some to try!
I would first try the endless energy vitamins
My last trip to Target with my 3 year old went something like this :
Lovely Target employee: um , ma’am … Is that you daughter ?
Me: Yes ? ( she was strapped into the cart)
Lovely Target employee : you know she’s licking the the shopping cart every time you turn around . She says laughing
Me: nothing … I said nothing
So, I didn’t see any particular vitamin that would address this , but maybe the ultimate immunity wouldn’t hurt ???
Beauty and sleep combo because let’s be serious they go hand in hand
Being that my husband and I are both teachers and we have a newborn at home, the Ultimate Immunity sounds like it should already be in our cabinet. I would love to try these and the fact the all of the different types are gummies is a major plus! Great find and so glad that you can order them online!
Endless Energy sounds like heaven to me. If it can give me have the energy my two crazy toddlers have on a daily basis sign me up!!
I would definitely need the energy vitamins, I was diagnoised with breast cancer, and just finished with chemo in february 2016. I still can’t seem to regain all my energy. Maybe this will help.
Restful Sleep and Round The Clock Mama for me! With two 4yr olds – a full time job as a counselor and part time job as a photo editor I need all the help I can get!!!
All of them look amazing, it’s hard to choose! But if I HAVE to, then definitely the Round the Clock Mama bundle. Or the Ultimate Immunity, it’s been a tough season of illnesses around here!
I would go with the endless energy Olay Vitamin. What parent couldn’t use that!!
I would try the beauty vitamins!
This mama could use the beauty rest combo, but what mom couldn’t?! I’d also LOVE to get my husband hooked on the restful sleep and endless energy. As a firefighter, both of those are in short supply and I’d love to have him recharge in a healthy way!!
I love Olly! I have used women’s multi, restful sleep and the prenatal! Would love to try the Ultimate Immunity to combat the summer cold!!!
Hello Sunshine or Endless Energy… I need both!!
Definitely Endless Energy! My daughters are up at 5:00 am every single day!
Vibrant Skin and Women’s Multi!
I need the restful sleep vitamins.
The set of 3 ‘Round the clock mama’ set is right up my ally! Expecting baby #3 now but once it’s here I will need all the energy and I can get and even though I may possibly never get sleep again, it’s worth it. Right? ?
May also need one to improve my spelling! Alley, not ally. Ekkk!!
The energy vitas for sure!! This momma could use a kickstart in the morning!
Def the restful sleep. ???
Essential Prenatal Multi
I need the Endless Energy! With summer fast approaching and my Kindergartner out of school in 8 DAYS, I’m going to need it to chase her and my 2 year 9 around! Better stock up on that Calm while I’m at it 🙂
*old
I NEED vibrant skin!! My hormones are making me break out like a teenager since I stopped nursing!! I would also like to try the Omega 3’s!!
These look amazing. All of them! I’d love to try the women’s multi, which is something I take everyday, although the sleep one looks super great too.
I’m very interested in the kids multi + probiotic!
Kids multi plus omega 3 because meal time is a battleground and at least one kid rejects any and all vitamins.
Go with your gut! Probiotics have kept me healthy all winter. And a little Endless Sleep wouldn’t hurt anything, either!
Since I’m a new mom, I would say the Women’s multi and endless energy.
Just having the name “Restful Sleep” sounds like something I need! That would be amazing!
I would try almost all of them. But the Ultimate Immunity would be the best working with all different aged kids and different environments would help keep me in top shape so I am not sharing germs with other kiddos and parents.
The Round the Clock Momma! I already take the multi vitamin and have been considering the other two! I didn’t know they bundled together!
I would like to try Endless Energy.
Would love to try to Restful Sleep vitamins! I take straight melatonin but it doesn’t always do the trick, so I’d like to see if these would work! And I can’t stomach a regular multi, but would love to give it a shot in gummy form!
ALL ……. I need them all in my life. #adulting !
Women’s multi and Totally Calm
ultimate immunity
The Women’s Multi – Berry is the one speaking to me.
i’m the worst with remembering to take daily vitamins so maybe good tasting berry ones would help me get into the habit!
Probably would have to say the prenatals!
I need the Endless energy so I can keep up with my kiddos.
I’d like to try Restful Sleep. I’m a terrible sleeper!
I would definitely benefit from Endless Energy!!
I think I would try the restful sleep, vibrant skin and sunshine!
I really need vitamin D, i have been taking them lately per doctors orders
I definitely need the Beauty or Skin – or Both! My skin is always so washed out looking! Love they don’t have any artificial color or weird ingredients!
So many to choose from! I’d say the Beauty ones and Calm. As a working Mom of 2 (a toddler and an infant) I need some calm amongst all the crazy!
Endless Energy! With a toddler, a full time job and a house to take care of, I need all of the energy I can get. Or solid bones. Or women’s multi. They all sound amazing!
Oh man, with an 11 week old and a looming start date back at work I could desperately use some of the Endless Energy ones. I may need to go to Target to get them! Are any of these unsafe to take while breastfeeding?
Definitely need the prenatal!
I would love to try the Restful Sleep or Endless Energy! I just finished off my a bottle of multi-vitamins and need to go to the store.
I already take their multi, so I’d go with the Jet Setter pack. I could use some more restful sleep and a stronger immune system in my life right now!
Endless Energy or the sleep one!!!!!!! One active 3 year old boy makes this momma worn out.
Subscriber. These sound absolutely wonderful! Maybe I can get hubby to finally take a vitamin without a hassle. I definitely need to try the restful sleep vitamins seeing as its almost midnight here and instead of sleeping I’m online surfing. Endless energy also! With three little ones I feel like I never have enough energy throughout my day.
That prenatal is calling my name! Mine taste like death and smell even worse!!
Vibrant skin! and the prenatal 🙂
i would love to try the prenatal now, I hate taking the giant, no-fun horse pills! After baby arrives, I think I’m going to need the endless energy!
I’m going to live with my family for the summer, which will involve A LOT of niece and nephew time, so I’ll need Immunity for sure. Sure do love those cute, snot-faced, cesspools!
Essential Prenatal Multi!
I would go for Restful Sleep – I’m lucky if I get 5 or 6 hours a night, so anything to maximize those hours!
[…] week, I talked about my obsession with Olly Vitamins but there is one vitamin I have no need to take— the Essential Prenatal Multi. It’s an […]
Kid’s Multi + Probiotic would be perfect for my daughter, and the Purely Probiotic for myself as I’m working on healing! Thanks for the chance!
I need some omega 3’s!! I really dislike icky pills, and this mama needs to stay healthy.
First I’d try the Women’s Superfood Multi.
I would love to try the Undeniable Beauty for my hair and skin. I could use some help in both those areas!
I need the Endless Energy to keep up with my 8 month old and 3.5 year old!
I have started taking an over 50 vitamin for a while now. I am thinking of starting on the B-12. I feel like I need more energy.
My kids are already taking Super Brainy, but I would love to try Growing Bones and Restful sleep.
This is why I love blogs, you get introduced to things that you wouldn’t find on your own. I’m going to target and getting some ASAP. The restful sleep and totally clam are on my list and probably a multi vitamins for me and the little, and the price is unbeatable! Thanks!
Would love to try the prenatal! 🙂
I would love the restful sleep vitamin. My Fitbit tells me my sleep patterns are less than stellar. I’d love to work on that.
Women’s Superfood Multi- excited to have just found out they’re gluten free!
The multi-with probiotic for kids. Probiotics for the win!
I want to try the women’s multi and the restful sleep!
I am in need of “restful sleep” and “endless energy”!! I am a mommy to two, I go to school full time and I just got a teaching assistant job at my college ??! Bring on the energy ?
I’m loving all of the wellness boosts. The Round the Clock Mama combo looks great!
I would say Restful Sleep, I tent towards insomnia at certain times of the year, and a vitamin sounds like a much healthier alternative to other sleep aids 🙂
I would love to try the Balanced Belly one. The kids love their multi-vitamins and Happy Tummy ones. ? Love these vitamins!
I would love to try the restful sleep!
All of them sound great. I love the groupings, but personally I need the Hello Sunshine. I was recently diagnosed as Vitamin D deficient and my regular Vitamin D tablets are horse pills. These look so much easier to take
I would love the probiotics.
Women’s Multi!
Vibrant skin and moving fiber! 4 months post partum and the babe brought on some roseca that’s driving me bananas! And hey who doesn’t need a little fiber 🙂
Purely probiotic! I eat to much junk!
I need restful sleep!!!
I would love the pre-natal vitamins as I am trying to conceive baby #2! ?
I
I constantly feel tire, so I definitely need the energy vitamins in my regimen.
I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and right now I am currently taking the Pre-natal vitamins. Would love to keep taking pre-Natals even after the baby because I really do feel the positive change in my body.
Probiotics……
I think I need Hello Sunshine and The Mega Omega-3!
Can’t decide between energy and probiotic. Both sound like things I need at this ridiculous point in my life.
The Restful Sleep would be my pick. I will never take sleep for granted again. I can’t wait until my kid starts sleeping through the night.
Can I give the restful sleep to my two year old, because that is who really needs it!
I would love to try the Mega Omega 3, I hate the gross fish burps that most omega 3’s give.
The sleeping beauty would be my life saver. I have a 3.5 yr old and will have a newborn in a week.
I really need to try the Totally Calm and Vibrant Skin vitamins.
I need like everything: purely probiotics, prenatal, round the clock mamma!
The women’s multi and beauty look great!
I had my first baby a month ago, so I would love to try the endless energy to give me an extra boost in the mornings!
