Meet Grüns, the superfood greens gummies praised by Bethenny Frankel and Shaun White
Bethenny Frankel has joined a growing chorus of celebrities and creators raving about Grüns, the plant-based superfood greens gummies that promise to replace a shelf full of supplements with a single daily packet. The former Real Housewives of New York City star says the gummies improved her digestion, her skin and her sleep, and she now travels with them.
But do they live up to the hype? Here is what Frankel said, what the brand promises and what dietitians want you to know before you order.
What Bethenny Frankel Said About Grüns Gummies
Frankel first shared her review of Grüns in a TikTok video posted in February 2025, after taking the gummies for a couple of weeks. She praised the format, eight gummies per daily packet, and said the science behind the brand was part of what won her over.
“There are eight in here and the story is that the science behind it is that they couldn’t fit all of what they would need in a gummy vitamin in one or two so it’s in eight, so it’s a little packet, which I like, and they have more accurate dosing and get more vitamins and minerals in than any other and I don’t like taking pills,” she said on TikTok. “The only ones I’ll take are for my hair, and I have to muster it up … They taste slightly sweet, but in a manageable way. It’s not candy, it’s not covered in sugar, but it’s kind of a little treat.”
She also flagged a benefit she had not expected. “Here’s what I didn’t realize about them, they’re excellent for your digestion like a cleanse,” she added. “So, start slow and you decide. I take one of each packet and it’s extremely effective. Look at my skin like I’ve been sleeping well. I love these. I love it so much I travel with them but if you are sensitive in the digestion area go easy, but these are excellent.”
Several months later, Frankel revisited the product in a July 2025 video on Facebook, pushing back on the gummy vitamin category more broadly. “I am not a truster of gummy vitamins. Why? Because they’re all dipped in sugar. It’s a full scam. These are the first ones I ever had that it’s really a vitamin, but it’s also like a treat,” she said. “Grüns is more accurately dosed than your current vitamin solution. You can trust them like they’re good for digestion, for energy, for recovery.”
What Is in Grüns and What the Brand Promises
Grüns comes in both low-sugar and sugar-free variations and is sold in bags containing 28 daily packs of bear-shaped gummies. The brand pitches itself as a one-stop superfood greens gummies replacement for a medicine cabinet full of single-purpose supplements.
“Grüns supports digestion, immune health, energy metabolism, and normal cognitive function, plus nutrients that help maintain healthy hair, skin and nails, all in one convenient and delicious daily pack of gummies. Our hope is this tasty daily habit can replace a big shelf in your medicine cabinet,” the company says on its website.
The formula is plant-based and vegan, and the gummies are free from gluten, dairy and nuts. The brand says it uses no synthetic sweeteners or synthetic dyes. According to Grüns, each daily packet is packed with the following ingredients:
- Whole veggies
- Whole fruits
- Vitamins and minerals
- Adaptogens
- Herbs
- Antioxidants
- Prebiotics
- Super mushrooms
Olympic snowboarder Shaun White is a spokesperson and investor for the brand. “As a former pro athlete, I’ve always looked for ways to stay sharp, feel my best, and fuel my body without overcomplicating it. Grüns uses clean ingredients that actually deliver, and I love that it makes better health accessible to everyone, whether you’re training at the highest level or just trying to make good choices every day,” he said.
How Long It Takes to See Results
If you are considering trying Grüns, do not expect overnight changes. The brand says results vary widely depending on the person, and consistency is the most important factor.
“The timeline for experiencing the benefits of Grüns can vary from person to person. Some individuals may notice improvements within days or weeks, while for others, it may be more gradual. Consistent daily use is essential for the best results,” the website says.
Other reviewers have echoed Frankel’s experience after longer trial periods. Abbey Stone at Bon Appétit took Grüns daily for six months and said she noticed real changes. “I do feel like I’ve experienced some of the positives the brand advertises. First and least glamorously, I’ve found my digestion is more, let’s say, regular when I’m taking the gummies. (Constipation? I don’t know her!)” she wrote.
Stone also reported less hair shedding while taking the gummies, but was careful not to overclaim. “I want to be honest, this could be a complete coincidence. While research shows that certain vitamin deficiencies, such as iron, riboflavin, biotin and in some cases, vitamin D, can be associated with hair loss, there is not sufficient evidence to support the idea that supplementation of these nutrients fuels hair growth,” she added.
What Dietitians Say About Grüns
Despite the celebrity buzz and positive personal reviews, registered dietitians urge consumers to keep expectations in check. Grüns updates from influencers can make the product sound transformative, but health professionals say a gummy is not a substitute for an overall healthy diet.
“Despite the radical claims, taking a gummy like Grüns is simply not going to ‘transform your health,’” said registered dietitian Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, author of The Better Period Food Solution. “As most health professionals agree, a [product] like this is meant to supplement a healthy and balanced diet.”
Beckerman also advised people with gastrointestinal issues to proceed carefully, noting that combining so many ingredients into one daily dose can backfire. “While I appreciate that the company doesn’t pump their nutrient daily values into the 1000x-daily-recommended amounts, there are still a ton of cooks in the kitchen,” she said, adding that packing in vitamins, prebiotics and more into a single gummy “may sound efficient at a glance, but it could be a lot for the digestive system to handle at once. This could lead to gas, bloating or abdominal pain.”
The New York Nutrition Group offered a similarly measured take in its review. “Grüns vitamin gummies offer a delicious and convenient way to get essential nutrients, especially for those who find it difficult to swallow pills or have a busy lifestyle. They’re a great option for anyone looking to support their health with a tasty and easy-to-take supplement,” the group wrote.
But the reviewers flagged limitations, too. “However, they do come with a few trade-offs, such as lower nutrient concentration and the possibility of added sugar. They’re best used as a supplement to a well-rounded, nutritious diet, rather than a replacement for whole foods.”
Their bottom line was clear. “If you’re looking for a simple way to boost your vitamin intake and you don’t mind the slightly higher cost or added sugar, Grüns vitamin gummies can be a great option for you. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have specific health conditions or dietary concerns.”
