Gummy vitamins. Because they're tasty and good for you.
If you can also bring vitamin C pills with you. Eat them every morning before you head to the convention center. I usually get these since they're easy to eat and don't require a beverage to swallow down. They sell them at my local grocery chain/WalMart.
"They're marketed as drugs"
Are they though? Is everything that's sold to benefit your health necessarily being marketed as a drug? Vitamin C supplements have to include a label saying "these statements are not supported by the FDA" or something like that...even though the only thing they say is that vitamin C supports your immune system. That's pretty basic, established science, but because nobody is paying a billion dollars to put it through trials like a drug, they still have to include that disclaimer like it's snake oil.
A lot of supplements are more obscure vitamins or chemicals that are already in your body. Sometimes we don't know as much about them as vitamin C, and they have a warning on them saying the FDA can't assure you of anything. What's wrong with letting people make their own decision about trying them?
If everything has to go through the billion dollar trials that a pharmaceutical has to pass through before we're allowed to buy it, where do you draw the line? I take tryptophan because it's known to boost serotonin. If you take too much, you'll get serotonin syndrome. But I know how it affects me, and it works better than SSRIs for me. We're not children. We can make our own decisions and decide the risk. If it doesn't work out, that's on the consumer.
Here's an example. A vitamin C bottle that only says "supports immune health" also has to say "these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA."

On the other hand, you can have poisonous plants being sold with all kinds of wild claims, and it'd get the same label and categorization. Maybe it's time to actually start evaluating some of these things, and separating nutrients from exotic, experimental herbs. If you lump everything together as "supplements" then it just causes confusion. That FDA warning doesn't mean much when you have to put it on vitamins.
