Do the supplements taste good or leave a nasty after taste?

The product is made with Vegi-capsules, easy to swallow, good for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

Hmm I just tried some out of ours and it tastes normal. I will say though we always use our Brita filter so it may just be a temporary taste when new.

The unbroken capsules? No. To me they smelled vaguely of dried straw grass, not at all unpleasant. The after-burps? Not to be too gross, but that's very close to describing what they kind of "tasted" like. I couldn't continue taking them because they were that nasty.

These do not have any taste, they are capsules. That make you pee yellow if it makes any difference... They're good for me.

Can only speak for myself, Larry, but please review other comments. It's imperative you do the research and see what works for you. This product has been amazing for me. I will continue using it as part of my daily nutritional intake. My workouts are better, my mood is better, my energy level is higher, all because of this (not-so-great-tasting) product. Not the best taste, but I take it with an organic juice. The natural sugars in the juice help to mask the taste. It takes seconds to go down, and the benefits far outweigh the taste. Perhaps you should just get one bottle and try it everyday. One bottle lasts me about 2 weeks, which would be a good time range to notice any benefits it would provide for you. Good luck.

The product by itself tastes absolutely horrible; but mixed with cranberry juice (8 oz.) I found it easy to tolerate. The taste certainly did not keep me from taking the supplement.

Taste is relatively neutral. Even my wife doesn't have a problem with taste. We're only taking in the 1-2 drop range/dosage.

No, there was no bad aftertaste for me and they are not soft gel caps. They are more like a pressed vitamin.

Honestly, had just been remarking to someone who can't stand B vit smell that these have/had no smell... They are capsules, so there's no taste that you'll notice. however, I'm paranoid about putting capsules in my system bc they say some don't get digested, really, so I empty it out in my mouth, a little 'bitter', but then I drink down w water. Also, I put them in a smoothie, again, I can't tell that it's in there and they make me feel good, all in and all, they're pretty good for the money. :) (I say this, bc I'd rather a raw or would rather a liquid b complex, but the liquids taste awful!)...

Dear Mike, Unfortunately we have not personally sampled this particular product ourselves, and we are unable to provide our own opinion. However upon review of the product description and supplement facts, we see that it is comprised of herbs and a few minerals that can be quite bitter tasting. It is said that it can be taken strait, but it is recommended to mix into a child's beverage. We hope this information was helpful to you. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you, and we appreciate your patience in this matter. If we can be of further assistance, or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at your earliest opportunity. Thank you, and have a fantastic day! Sincerely, Kellie B.

I had the Rocky Road because someone said it was one of the best tasting ones, but I have to disagree. I haven't tried any others so I'm not sure if they all have the same artificial taste. It's like the artificial sweeteners taste that I can't stand. I'm not a fan at all!!

Well, I would say it's pretty good as far as liquid supplements go... I enjoy the flavor - think fruity, mango with a slight gritty vit. C chew-able vitamin flavor added in. Even my six year old daughter does not mind taking it on occasion if we run out of IntraKid. That being said, my husband takes IntraMax, but has a difficult time with the way the aftertaste hangs in your mouth. Also, my mother doesn't like that she burps up the aftertaste. For me, it is not a big deal, but everybody is different!

Taking it straight isn't palatable. My spouse thinks it's "ok", but I can't hack the "after taste". However if I put it inside a drink of some sort, I cannot discern a taste...or there's a change so small that it does not affect the pleasure of the beverage.

Yes - it is bad!! They do not taste too bad, but not worth it. I had horrible gas, boating, and spent way too much time in the restroom afterwards. :(

I am on my first bottle and I found the taste by itself to be absolutely repulsive. I mix it with homemade lemonade (w/stevia) or grapefruit water or even chocolate milk. The Mg changes the flavor a little but at least they make it drinkable.

I just swallow them and dont taste them. I take half the recommended dose (one pill rather than 2) because I am small (103 lbs). This works for me. I dont like the powder either but folks who drink smoothies seem to think it is good. I prefer taking the Spirulina with my morning drink along with my vitamins. It sits better in the stomach when consumed in conjunction with food.
