Summer Veggies & Smart Supplementing: The Best of Both Worlds 🌱☀️
Summer is the perfect time to refresh your meals with vibrant, in-season veggies—straight from the garden, farmers’ market, or local produce section. But even with all the bounty of the season, there can still be nutritional gaps depending on your lifestyle, diet, and even the climate where you live.
That’s where smart supplementing with Nutramin gummies comes in. Whether you're a salad lover, a grill master, or a parent of picky eaters who’d rather chill inside than play in the sun, here’s how to get the most out of summer veggies—plus how Nutramin can help you (and your family) feel your best all season long.

What Veggies Are In Season (and Why It Matters)
Eating seasonally means enjoying produce at its freshest, most flavorful, and most nutritious. Summer’s heat brings out the best in many veggies, especially those that thrive in long daylight and warm temps. Here are some of the MVPs of the season:
Tomatoes 🍅 – Rich in vitamin C, potassium, folate, and lycopene (a powerful antioxidant), tomatoes are a summer superstar. Grill them, chop them into salsa, or toss into pasta salads—they’re everywhere this time of year.
Zucchini & Summer Squash – These mild-flavored veggies are loaded with fiber, vitamin A, and manganese. Plus, they’re so versatile—great grilled, spiralized, or baked into muffins.
Bell Peppers 🌶️ – Sweet bell peppers (especially red ones) are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. They’re a crunchy, hydrating snack and brighten up any stir-fry or salad.
Cucumbers 🥒 – Mostly water, cucumbers are perfect for hydration and digestion. They offer vitamin K and are especially good chilled on hot days.
Green Beans – In-season green beans are a great source of fiber, vitamin K, and folate. Lightly steamed or tossed in olive oil and garlic, they’re a seasonal staple.
Corn 🌽 – Fresh corn offers B vitamins and fiber—especially when eaten off the cob. Just be mindful of portion sizes if you're watching your starches.

What You Might Be Missing
While summer is rich in water-packed, fresh veggies, not all nutrients are as plentiful in warm-weather produce. Depending on your diet or regional availability, here are a few nutrients that may be harder to get enough of:
→ Vitamin D – Unless you’re spending a lot of time outdoors with plenty of skin exposure, you might not be synthesizing enough vitamin D. And spoiler alert: sunscreen (which is important!) can block that absorption. Nutramin’s Adult Multivitamins and Kids Multivitamins include vitamin D3 to help support healthy bones and immunity—rain or shine.
→ B Vitamins – Long days, travel, and a less consistent schedule can wear you down. B vitamins are essential for energy production, mood balance, and brain function—but they’re not always abundant in raw, water-heavy veggies. Nutramin’s Energy Boost Gummies offer a targeted hit of B12 and other B-complex vitamins to keep you energized without the crash.
→ Vitamin A & Zinc – These immune-supporting nutrients can be lower in some summer diets that are heavy in veggies, especially if kids (or adults!) are picky eaters. Nutramin’s Kids Multivitamins help fill those gaps with a carefully balanced, allergen-free formula—no artificial dyes, sweeteners, or fillers.
What About the Kids Who’d Rather Stay Inside?
Not every kid wants to spend the summer outdoors—and that’s totally okay. Some love to read, build LEGO empires, draw, or dive into video games instead of backyard adventures. But with less sun exposure, less physical activity, and fewer fresh veggies on their plates, there’s a chance they’re missing out on key vitamins and minerals.
Nutramin’s Kids Multivitamin Gummies are a fun, easy way to support growing bodies and brains. Each sugar-free gummy is packed with essential nutrients your littles get from veggies like vitamins A, C, D, and zinc—without any of the allergens, artificial dyes, or fillers you’ll find in many other brands. Plus, they taste like candy (without the sugar), making them something even the most indoorsy kids won’t argue about taking.
Why Supplementing Makes Sense—Even in Summer
A common myth is that if you eat lots of fruits and veggies in the summer, you don’t need supplements. But the truth is, nutrient content can vary depending on:
- How long the veggies traveled to get to you
- Soil quality where they were grown
- Your personal health needs and absorption
- Whether you’re getting a variety of veggies or just your favorites
That’s where Nutramin comes in. Think of our gummies as your nutritional safety net: covering the vitamins and minerals that might be slipping through the cracks—even when you’re eating well. And since our formulas are sugar-free, vegan, and free from common allergens (no dairy, gluten, soy, or artificial sweeteners), you can feel confident knowing you're not adding any junk to your summer routine.
