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?

Congrats to Brittany M! Please contact annie@mommyshorts.com to claim your prize.
Probiotic and Endless Energy would be amazing!
Prenatal and after the baby comes, the restful sleep!!
I’d definitely have to say that the restful sleep one sounds perfect!
Restful sleep, please! The baby just stopped nursing in the middle of the night, but my body still wants to stay up late waiting for him to need me. Uuuggghhh.
That was a hard choice but since I have a baby at home…Endless Energy!
I was going to say Women’s Multi, but there’s one for sleep, too?? I guess I need them all!
I already love Restful Sleep, but would love to try all of them. Especially Endless Energy!
Ooh, these all look so tantalizing. Hmmm, the women’s multi, energy, belly, and definitely the round the clock mama are all contenders. If I can only pick one, I would have to go with the belly vitamin! When my stomach isn’t cooperating, it throws off the whole day! That would be a game-changer. These are so cool 🙂
I would say I’d like to have the vibrant skin vitamins because I just had a baby 5 months ago (well I guess I didn’t JUST have a baby) but post partum hair loss is kicking in, along w brittle nails and my pregnancy glow is gone (sad face) I could really use vibrant skin vitamins to boost my confidence!!
I want to try so many, but need round the clock mama for sure!
Sleep!
I need need need Restful Sleep! Baby doesn’t sleep through the night so I need all the help I can get.
As an “order mommy”… restful sleep and endless energy are vague memories!! Would love to try!!
While this twin mama would love Undeniable Beauty, I think Restful Sleep ranks higher on the wish list.
Definitely the sleep one. Between work and 3 year old twins I constantly have sleep problems because I am always worried about something.
I need some of the restful sleep vitamins!! ??
Wow these look great! I hate taking vitamins because I hate the way they smell. These look like they would be a perfect fit for me and my sweet tooth! I could use the women’s multi and the bones. Osteoporosis runs in my family and I should really be trying to strengthen my bones now.
I’d love the Bonafide Babe combo plus the Mega Omega-3. I always see these at Target and keep meaning to try them!
Restful sleep for sure!
Oh man, so many choices!! I need prenatal because we are trying to get pregnant with #2. And restful sleep sounds pretty darn amazing too!!!
Vibrant Skin please! I’ve always had “bad” skin and after seeing a endocrinologist ive recently found out my hormones are totally wacked out, mostly caused by low vitamin levels. Vibrant skin sounds like something to try!
i am a subscriber already. i like the Olly Simply Fiber, Snappy Apple and the Olly Endless Energy Lemon Zinger Vitamin Gummies. there are several that i would love to try.
This post was timed perfectly! I’m searching for new vitamins to replace the horse pills I’ve been choking down (and skipping frequently). I can’t wait to try the probiotic and the multi vitamins!
I absolutely need to try the Endless Energy!! I always feel like I’m dragging and could use a little boost. I’m pretty sure all moms could use this 🙂
undeniable beauty!
prenatal
Pretty sure I need to try the ultimate immunity, as i type this while home with a fever my son gave me.
I definitely need the Round the Clock Mama combo. Such a busy work schedule along with chasing after the kids that this late 30’s mama needs a boost!
The Hello Sunshine vitamins would be great since I live in the northwest and it can get dreary (but beautiful) here especially in the winter.
I’m excited to try these vitamins. At this point, I need all the help I can get. I want to try the Multi-Vitamin for Woman and the Sleep Vitamin. I have horrible insomnia and I don’t want to take medications while I still have a little one waking up through the night-I have to be able to hear her!
I WOULD LOVE TO TRY THE MULTI VITAMIN FOR WOMEN OR THE CHILDREN’S VITAMIN. I’M ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND A VITAMIN MY LITTLE ONE ENJOYS
I have not taken a vitamin since I was pregnant. The women’s multi looks perfect!
Well, since you said to pick one, and it was difficult because I would love to try so many of them, I will have to choose the kids happy Tummy. Both of my kids seem to have “belly aches” and I would love if this was a helpful fix!
Oh my goodness I want them all! When I was pregnant I was so happy that I found prenatal gummies so I didn’t have to gag them down, (literally!) but it hasn’t been much easier since! I would love either the Women’s Multi or the Energy, because who couldn’t use a little of both?!? After chasing an almost 2 year old around, who couldn’t use more energy?!?
I need one of the winning combos!! Round the clock mama! because with the work and a little baby of 1 year, I’m Exhausted…. and of course one of ultimate immunity because I need to be healthy and work with preschool kids it’s a little hard.
I need the probiotic and the skin vitamins! Middle age is a lot more work than I think it should be!!
SLEEP PLEASE!!!
I could definitely use the endless energy!! I have two young children that are always keeping me going! I could probably also use the kids multivitamin for my picky two year old!
Endless Energy sounds like something every mom needs. With two boys and a newborn in the house, energy is something I always need.
In the last two years I have had two miscarriages but I am proud to say I am 16 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby. I am having a very hard time keeping my food down so when I do throw up I usually throw up my vitimans too. That is why I would love the prenatal gummies easy for me to digest and keep down. I also could use the “Reatful sleep” because I have a very hard time sleeping between my husbands snoring, my boobs that are so sore so getting comfortable isn’t easy and my constant need to get up and pee! The nights are the hardest part of my days. But, it will all be worth it when I meet my baby. Thank you GOD for such a true blessing.
I saw these at Target after reading your post. I decided to give it a go and am so glad that I did!! I have had extreme stomach issues for the past several months and after just a few days taking the effortless digestion, they are all but gone! I cannot recommend it enough! Even tho If the contest is over, I just wanted to say Thank you so much for turning me on to Olly! And thank Olly for letting me have ice cream again!
We definitely need more restful sleep in our household!
I really could use the The Mega Omega-. I don’t like to eat fish, so I miss out on the Good fats.
Probiotic!!
Restful sleep sounds awesome ?
I have twin four year olds under my roof, so I need the restful sleep for sure so I can keep up with them!
Any and all of them! Love the women’s multi though. The restful sleep sounds very tempting as well!!
Perfect women’s multi 🙂
Endless Energy Definitely ( need that with 2 toddlers to take care of!)
I absolutely love the design of this site! I’d also absolutely love to win the Perfect Women’s Multi as well as that Vibrant Skin vitamin. You can’t beat a vitamin that’ll help boost collagen!
I REALLY need the prenatal. I’d also love the Women’s Super Foods when I’m not pregnant!!!!!
I really need more Perfect Women’s Multi – Citrus
Restful sleep would be the one I need!
First of all, I love love love the Olly branding! These bottles are eye catching and fun! I would say the most needed of the products would likely be the Ultimate Immunity – my 2 year old and 4 year old are constantly bringing germs into the house and I need to try to stay healthy if only to be able to take advantage of adult time when the kiddos finally get to bed! I would also definitely take the Mega Omega-3. That stuff rocks!
I’m in need of their prenatals! (My husband and I are trying ?) They have the highest folic acid count than any other brand I scoped at Target!
PS Your news letter said the contest was still open despite the end date of the blog indicting June 2nd. FYI
I could not decide between Solid Bones and Hello Sunshine
As a senior who has already had both hips replaced I need anything that will help my bones stay healthy. And both of these work on the bones.
I think that I like the Olly Nutrition product, “Go With Your Gut” Duo – the Women’s Multi-Vitamin and Purely Probioic combo! I think I like the idea of my whole body getting the much needed boost as well as my colon getting a nice “aid”!! 🙂
Omega 3 and Probiotic for me please!
Round the Clock Mama for this soon to be Mama of two!
I NEED the Restful Sleep supplement! I currently take Melatonin but I love how the Olly Vitamins give a mixture of ingredients to better help you sleep. Amazing.
Endless Energy might give me the kick I need to make it through the day!
I’m dying to try the Vibrant Skin (because, I mean, WHO DOESN’T WANT THAT??), plus the kids’ multivitamins for my little ones!
Would love to try the Endless Energy. need a little pep in my step
Endless Energy… Need some of that right now!!
As a mom of a 6 year old, 3 year old, 9 month old, and my last baby due in just 3 months…..I desperately need that energy boost vitamin!!!!
I could use so many! Especially the endless energy and restful sleep. Oh, and hello sunshine.
Oh my gosh! I need them all! I just had two baby girls in two years and my hair and skin are a wreck, sleep is not as restful and my immunity is constantly challenged by the daycare germs! I need to get to Target ASAP.
I need the undeniable Beauty vitamins specifically for nails.
Restful sleep, please!
Wooooohoooooo!!!! Thank you guys so much! I love this blog and your family. Living vicariously through tou guys while stuck in KY myself. Haha. Sent the email. Yay! I’m so excited.
