A message for you before your child tries this for the first time.

Caressia T., mom to a hesitant first-timer

“If your child is anything like mine, when he sees something new, he’s very hesitant.” So Caressia chopped the gummy into little sections, and her son ate them that way. As she puts it, “Either way, as long as they get it down.” And yes, it really does taste like green apple. A few weeks in, she says simply, “I see progress and change.”

Dorka R., mom to a picky 4-year-old

Dorka’s daughter didn’t love the flavor on its own. So she softens the gummy in a little water, then stirs it into milk with a touch of honey. Her words: “This, she loves.” A picky kid who turned it down now asks for it her favorite way. As Dorka puts it, “It’s working really well for my daughter. I’m already ordering my second bag.”

Tina N., mom who needed it to go down easy

“All we do is melt the NeuroBrocc in a little bit of warm water.” For Tina’s son, who is tube-fed, that means every bit gets in. The same trick works for any child who’d rather sip it than chew it: melt it in a little warm water and stir it into a drink they already love. In Tina’s words, “We’ve seen great results so far.”

Yajaira G., grandma to a once-skeptical 2-year-old

Yajaira figured they’d be “just sweet candy.” Instead, her grandson made them his own. He even learned to say the word: “It’s his gummies in the morning.” When a child feels ownership, you stop reminding them and they start asking you. And Yajaira’s bonus? He’s calmer, saying more words, and happier. “He loves his gummies, and he loves being a kid.”

Leona M., mom who almost sent them back

The very first time, Leona’s son wouldn’t touch them. He didn’t like the smell or the taste, and she was ready to give up. Instead, she stayed calm and kept trying. Then one day he ate a whole one and asked for a second. Now it’s his treat every night, and he looks forward to it. Week-one resistance is the exact moment most parents quit. Leona didn’t, and that’s what made the difference.
