does anyone know what the exact source of the natural flavors are? Research castoreum, msg, aspartame. don't trust just because you see organic

It just says natural flavors (strawberry, orange, pineapple, grape). I think they would have to write if there was aspartame or msg, wouldn't they?

Hero Nutritional's Website states "...we choose to only use fruits and vegetables to flavor and color our gummies..."

The ones I bought on Amazon last year contained aspartame. There's another brand of black currant drops that last longer and taste better but I don't remember the name. They are like Ju Ju beads. Check on the internet. Polish import stores sell black currant juice that is excellent, also Greg Quinn has the only black currant farm in the U.S and sells all kinds of black currant products and Juice. His business is Currant C. He has a great newsletter too or call Cropharms 845-266-8999 Sidonka Wadina in Wisconsin

I went to a naturopathic physician and showed them this product that I got from COSTCO. They said it was good and to keep taking it. BUT, I wouldn't buy it from here on Amazon. The one I got was a beat up package and the product tasted VERY different even though the flavor was the same and it was not expired. I returned it and got it at Costco and it tasted normally. What I got seemed to POSSIBLY be a "knock off" but I couldn't be 100% sure. I didn't want to risk continuing to take something toxic.

I just came across this when looking for the adult unflavored calm-mag by natural vitality. I have started giving my toddler the plain adult version in a very small dosage-it's free of sugars, which I like. The flavored ones, even for adults, contain stevia which my body does not react well to ingesting. Today I gave her 1/8 of a teaspoon, which I'll probably do every couple days to ease into it.

I have the same question, why is this only available in VERY VANILLA.. I only buy the very vanilla type because I have no other choice, but this is too sweet for me, too! Soy is healthy, but the sugar content in it? That makes me nervous.. I hope that the SILK company will start making the original -- or even the no sugar-added soymilk in tetrapacks, like this!

I just want to point out that there are products out there with USDA organic label, yet still have some type of chemical. Not all, but many. Always read the ingredients to make sure and keep a lookout for words you never heard of. Companies use different words to hide their chemicals.

I ddn't notice that when I ordered to be honest. I can say that I liked it and I should have ordered another month's supply. I switched to something else and hated making that choice. I plan to purchase this product again in the very near future. It may not be for everyone but I would say try it out and see for yourself. It's not bad tasting or anything like that and it only takes a few seconds to mix. Post your thoughts once you try it so I can see if you agree with me. Thanks for asking.

Try 'Garden of Life' Raw Meal vanilla chai flavor. It costs less than this product, tastes better and in my opinion is much better for you. Remember with the cacoa and maca powder you are getting added caffeine which in my experience is a toxin that builds up in the tissues and causes problems over time. They do make you feel great but there's a price to pay down the road. No such issues with the garden of life product I mentioned and it's cheaper to boot.

Well to be fair, they have the usda organic seal of approval which I thought was supposed to be a pain to do, but I couldn't guarantee they are for sure organic. I've bought a couple of bags now from them, they taste good, but have only once mixed them w cereal etc n had any grit or anything to them. Don't know if any red dye has been added, sorry not much help. Those are excellend questions though. ..did healthworks have a response about it? Im curious about the red coloring now though

FYI, just got my first bag today and enjoying a cup of coffee. The bag says "100% Pure, Non-GMO" and a video at NutritionFacts.org indicates that this is the "winner" as a "harmless" sweetener. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/a-harmless-artificial-sweetener/

No there are no artificial colors or flavors and NO ASPARTAME, which is why we buy it. Flavor lasts longer with this one than the other brand also. Enjoy, chew be healthy amen? :0)

I buy the regular hot chocolate not the diet which does have artificial sweetners. The other respondents have listed the ingrediants. You can check the other varieties in the supermarket.

On the boxes that I have aspartame is listed as the sweetener. Hope this helps you!

I too am MSG intolerant. I have been consuming these bars for over a week and have not gotten migraine. Not sure what the "natural flavors" are, but these bars haven't bothered me so I doubt it if MSG... although, I too, like you, am VERY wary of vague ingredients like that.

This address may help. www.davidsonstea.com/ It will get you to thier home page. Since this is USDA certified organic and Fair traded I feel secure. I am an activist for labeling and am now on the GMO labeling band wagon, but I really feel comfortable with the Davidson's organic bulk tea. The government would sure make our life easier if they had honest and complete ingedients and whether they are genetically modified. Sorry I am not of more help, but I will be looking into the "natural flavor thing" I always thought it was "natural flavor enhancer" I had to watch for.

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.
