Colostrum, shilajit and Irish sea moss are three supplements that get a ton of attention in social media wellness communities, and Zhou expanded its functional gummy collection to transform each in-demand ingredient into a convenient, functional gummies that fit seamlessly into daily routines. The all-new Colostrum Gummies, Shilajit Gummies, and Irish Sea Moss Gummies make the most of an enjoyable, flavorful format to effectively deliver benefits while overcoming taste and texture challenges—shilajit, for example, is known for its resinous quality and bitter essence, and despite containing an abundance of minerals, the slimy texture of sea moss is enough to put some people off of it entirely.
Alongside Colostrum Gummies, Shilajit Gummies and Irish Sea Moss Gummies, Zhou introduced antioxidant-rich Beetroot Gummies and Magnesium Glycinate Gummies as part of its latest lineup.
