How it spread

Trace the origin

Grüns began selling its greens gummies in August 2023, with Instagram and Facebook ads and an automated creator-gifting pipeline. It reached Amazon, then Sprouts, Target and Walmart, as reviews and creator posts spread. Unilever completed its acquisition on June 1, 2026.
