Heritage & History
SmartyPants Vitamins was founded in 2011 in Los Angeles, California by entrepreneurs Courtney Nichols Gould and Gordon Gould, who set out to create a gummy vitamin that actually used high-quality, bioavailable nutrients rather than the cheapest available forms. The founders had experienced firsthand how difficult it was to get children to take vitamins consistently, and they identified the opportunity to make a gummy that both tasted good and delivered genuine nutritional value.
The company grew rapidly on the strength of premium ingredients — fish-oil-derived omega-3s, D3 cholecalciferol, and methylated B vitamins — at a time when most gummy vitamins used inferior forms of each. SmartyPants became a consistent top seller in the Amazon vitamin category and was acquired by Unilever in 2020. Under Unilever, the brand has maintained its California manufacturing and premium ingredient commitments.
Made in California
SmartyPants gummy multivitamins are manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility in California. Products are labeled 'Manufactured in California, USA' and the company oversees production, testing, and packaging to maintain the quality standards the brand was built on. The Kids Complete Daily Gummy, the Adult Complete Daily Gummy, and the Organic lines all share the California manufacturing commitment.
The Kids Complete formula delivers omega-3 EPA/DHA from fish oil, vitamin D3, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, zinc, iodine, and vitamin K — a more comprehensive nutritional profile than most children's gummy vitamins. The adult line adds folate as methylfolate, the bioactive form recommended for people with MTHFR genetic variants. SmartyPants products are free of synthetic colors, artificial flavors, and artificial sweeteners, and are third-party lab tested for purity and potency.
