Evidence abounds for the accelerated aging effects of the past two pandemic-filled years. Recently, however, I caught myself identifying with a friend’s 5-year-old daughter, Ella, who, every morning after devouring a chewable multivitamin, begs her mother, “More yummy gummies!” Turns out, the science developed to make vitamins munchable, colorful, and tasty for kids works just as well for grown-ups. Since kickstarting the new year with a daily regimen of Troop gummies—bright, fruity drops made from mushroom extracts—I’ll admit to craving more than the suggested one-a-day dose. Unlike Ella, all I have to do to satisfy my hankering is twist off the childproof top, and pop another gummy in my mouth.
