4/2/2023 0 Comments Olly hello happy![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe what’s actually making us happy is that sudden nostalgia for simpler times of jamming straws through silver bags of sugar juice. The bottle describes it as “A lively blend of pineapple, peach and orange”, and apparently that combination is the exact flavor algorithm of Hawaiian Punch (and Capri Sun?) of childhood. Earthy and fecund, you get those distinct honeyed and rich aromas.Īnd we say surprisingly because these actually don’t taste like saffron at all! These are the Tropical Zing as promised. When you take the lid off, you can actually get a strong hit of saffron, surprisingly. No worm size-ists around these parts.Īnd Olly clearly doesn’t need much worm to pack a sunshiny punch! ☀️□□ Tasting Notes That’s fine by us though, we are always a fan of any and all gummy worms. The worms were a bit smaller than we had imagined. Our bottle arrived surprisingly fast, as if the universe wanted us to get happy stat. We’re sure there’s a few more worms out there, but the only other ones we’ve personally come across are the (insanely delicious) CBD Gummy Worms from Verma Farms.Īnd speaking of insanely delicious: we’re always huge fans of Olly’s flavors, so we were especially looking forward to trying the Hello Happies because the flavor is tantalizingly labeled as “Tropical Zing.” The iconic worm shape is surprisingly scarce in a universe of gummies shaped like globs, cubes, and the occasional bears. Ok great, so these are basically sunshine in a bottle, but the best part? They come as gummy worms! □ Just make sure you’re not overdoing the vitamin D through other supplements! Too much vitamin D over a period of several months can lead to breakouts or other complications. The vitamin D in these comes in the form of cholecalciferol, aka D3. These gummies have 2,000 IU of vitamin D, which is a pretty solid dose. The research is a little conflicted regarding whether or not vitamin D can help boost your mood, but vitamin D deficiency may play a role in Seasonal Affective Disorder 3, and it’s always a good idea to make sure your D levels are optimal. It’s crucial to get enough vitamin D to support your bones and teeth, your immune system, and a variety of cellular functions. Ok ok, vitamin D is technically a hormone, not a spice, but vitamin D is naturally produced by our bodies when we get out in the sun. While people may call saffron the Sunshine Spice, the true bearer of that title is vitamin D. □ Of course, while these studies are very interesting, saffron isn’t currently approved or prescribed for any specific condition, and as usual, more research is needed! Why Vitamin D? The Olly Hello Happy gummies have 30mg of saffron extract, which is about the same amount as is used in the clinical studies we’ve seen. It’s also a potent antioxidant and may act as an aphrodisiac, which Cleopatra knew a long time ago. 1 Saffron may help modulate neurotransmitter levels, including serotonin and dopamine. Cleopatra bathed in it to make lovemaking more pleasurable.īut you may not know that saffron has thousands of years of history as a traditional remedy for “melancholy*.”Īnd there have been a number of recent studies into the potential mood-boosting properties of saffron, with very promising results. Ancient Sumerians used it to create their magic potions. ![]() Saffron has been an object of fascination and indulgence since time immemorial. You’re probably familiar with these gorgeous red, fragile threads: the most expensive spice in the world. Ok, let’s take a look at this legendary spice: What are the benefits of saffron? □ update: you can read our Stress Comfort review here. We’re going to have a little saffron-off to see which gummy makes us happier. To be fair, Nature’s Bounty released their Stress Comfort Mood Booster gummies with Saffron, GABA, and Lemon Balm last summer, so Olly isn’t the first kid on the saffron block.īut between saffron, vitamin D, GABA, and lemon balm, we can not think of a better group of our favorite buzzwords, so we ordered both the Olly and the Nature’s Bounty Saffron gummies immediately! Olly sold out of their first run of Hello Happy within a week, so if that’s any indication, the world is ready for a Saffron gummy. Plus it’s shaped like an adorable little worm! So, while the gummiverse has been abuzz with Ashwagandha gummies lately, Olly dropped Hello Happy, a Saffron + Vitamin D gummy □. Which means that Olly has had to up their game a little to stay on the cutting edge. Since Olly helped open the floodgates in the gummy vitamin cosmos in 2013, dozens of innovative gummy brands have been popping up nonstop. New gummies from Olly are always exciting, but their new Hello Happy Gummy Worms give us all kinds of reasons to get excited! You can learn more about our review process here!
