Has the product returned to the original formula since the taste change? I loved this product and I have not found a replacement as good as this was.

I too have been waiting to see recent reviews. Seem to be trending positive lately - and I note that one review commented: "... new FDA guidelines, they can't put whole stevia in this anymore, so it's just an "extract" which is much more bitter". While I cannot confirm that, it makes sense. I used to put 3 drops in a cup of coffee, and now am putting in 10, and to flavor yogurt, have had to similarly double/triple. I have not noticed the bad taste/bitter taste others noted.

I am not sure if it has returned to the original or not, but I too have tried a lot of products and this one is by far the best. I would give it another shot and perhaps email NuNaturals and see if they have made a change or not.

I don't know when the formula changed. I have tried using other stevia products, but havent' been happy with the results. This is now by go to sweetener. The directions on the bottle are accurate, if you don't shake it up before use, you will find you add more than the recommended serving. That will cause the bitter or bad taste. I will continue using this product.

The new formula not being as good as the original is a huge understatement. They say it's creamier, they should say "GREASIER". I immediately returned the bottle for a refund, called the company and told them it was crap. I also called other resellers to see if anyone had the original. So far, no luck.

Hi - yes, I can help because I asked that question directly to the company. Orgain changed the formula a little to remove the soy in particular. There was also some organic stevia added at that time. But the change wasn't that well received by some customers. They changed it again to reduce the stevia to almost nothing and improve the consistency back to what it was. I know that Chocolate Fudge flavor with November 2013 and on expiration dates are the improved (like it used to be) formula. I've had it and it's great again. Vitamin Shoppe has some and I'm told it will be back on Amazon very soon. Hope that helps. Hi - yes, I can help because I asked that question directly to the company.

I bought the 2lb container from my local Sprouts store, they had previously carried the ones with stevia. I checked the label 4 times looking for it and it wasn't there. Brought it home and opened it and it was back to its normal fantastic chocolatey un-sickly sweet self. Can't say that this distributor has changed or moved all the stevia products yet, but Spirutein has heard the complaints and has responded with the old formula.

I also have used for sometime and was horrified at change in appearance , taste and smell!! Have been researching and have found that they have " changed" product to be (quote) more potent! But also found indications that source of iodine is changed also! I personally don't want the new form.

I think it is back to a strength just a bit below the original formula which they can no longer use. I switched away from Revitalash right when they switched formula so i may have missed the "water on my eyelids" effect.

It looks like the packaging has changed since I last ordered mine....not sure if that means that the formulation may have changed? Might be best to contact the company...or make sure whoever provides the ingredient list to you has the current packaging.

Joe at Customer Service said yes, but they will be taking it back out, soon. He also said you can return the one(s) you've bought with Stevia, to the store(s) where you bought it. They must not have tasted this new formula with Stevia before they started making it. It is dramatically different, and really not any good.

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

Over the last 5 or 6 years I had glyconutrients compounded for me at a local pharmacy with my doctors prescription. My insurance quit paying for it so I bought the Mannatech New Generation and it tastes different than what I had compounded. The doctor who invented this nutrient quit working for Mannatech and went on his own. Google "Wellness Quest". it tastes different also and is a tad more expensive. Amazon may even carry it.

I bought the old style 8 pack on 09/20/14. When I wanted it again last Friday, I just clicked on "Buy it again". It showed the same (orange) packets. When it arrived yesterday, it had a "new look" and the formula has been changed. Now I have 8 boxes of some of the foulest tasting coffee I've ever had. There is no Hazelnut flavor at all. If you are going to show the old packaging to sell it, you should deliver the old product. I will never buy Tasters Choice again, or probably any food product from Amazon.

The original was not suppose to. However; I was told by the makers of fake bake last year that they were changing their formula. You can call them and they will tell you the ingrediance

I also ordered this supplement several times previously. The last bottle said vegetarian flavor and it was very nasty. I stopped using it. Please bring back the original flavor. The new flavor is not good.

I actually have a bottle of both sitting in front of me and had no idea there was an ingredient change with the new bottle. I havent used it yet but I will update my review once I do.

The can pictured here- "Energy Pro" is the product that I have a recurring shipment of. I have been using it for about 5 years. Love it! I just tried the product in the "new" can. For some unspecified reason the most recent shipment contained "Energy Original". Not sure if the substitution is a mistake or a temporary sub, but the ingredients list is the same. I do notice a flavor shift-- seems to have less citrus taste. I like the Pro version better, though the difference is subtle. I hope this only a temporary condition- I will contact Amazon to find out.

I don't believe there is a change in the ingredients. I have been using this for a long time and it is the same.

This is definitely the new formula. Ugh! The old formula was great, wasn't it? Since I bought this I have been able to find one that is close. It's even blue in color. If you have BJ's wholesale clubs in your area they make a generic that is the best thing I have found! Good Luck!
