It’s the news you’ve all been waiting for! Swedish guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen has branched out into the world of multivitamin gummies.

Whereas countless rock stars and bands have given their names to branded booze, Yngwie Malmsteen’s fresh commercial venture is for something supposedly healthier.

The 61-year-old musician is selling the supplements called Yngwie Malmsteen's Force - Multivitamin Gummies on his official website. The bottle, costing £33, contains 50 cherry, strawberry and raspberry flavoured gummies.

Malmsteen claims that the multivitamins have helped him keep in good shape, saying: "At 61 years old playing shows back to back travelling the world, this is what I take and I wanted to make it available for you guys.”

A description of the gummies on Malmsteen’s official website reads: ‘Yngwie Malmsteen, the legendary rock star and guitar virtuoso known for his lightning-fast solos and neoclassical style, has stepped into the world of health and wellness with his latest creation: Yngwie Malmsteen's Force.

‘Always a larger-than-life figure, Yngwie’s focus on peak performance extends beyond music and into personal well-being. His new line of multivitamin gummies is designed for those who, like him, demand the best from their bodies.

‘With his bold stage presence and a lifestyle fuelled by passion and intensity, Yngwie knows the importance of maintaining energy and health. These multivitamin gummies are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients, providing the perfect boost to keep anyone feeling powerful, focused, and ready to conquer the day.

‘Yngwie believes that "feeling good and healthy is vital," whether you’re shredding on the guitar or managing daily life. These gummies are formulated to support a strong immune system, enhance energy levels, and promote overall wellness, all in a tasty, rockstar-approved form.’
