There are several recent reviews stating that the formula changed and that the flavor is now bitter or awful. Is that true? Please advise.

I didn't try them before so I don't know about a change, but I can tell you that they are bitter and awful now.

I think they are sour. But honestly, they taste just like what we had as kids...flintstones, remember those? And wont most kids eat sour gummy worms or sour patch kids...? To me they didnt leave a bad or sour taste afterward they were just a bit tangy during eating them. My two year old son who has a very specific pallet (due to sever acid reflux) will eat them no problem.

Yes my kids hated this. I switched to this multivitamin Zahler Junior Multi, Chewable Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement for Kids, Childrens Great Tasting Cherry Chewable Tablets, All Natural Color and Flavor, 180 Chewable Tablets and my kids absolutely love it!

Both of my girls (6 and 3) like these vitamins. My youngest is extremely picky and she eats them with no problem. I tried one and think they taste fine. A bit chalky like any similar sort of chewable vitamin but not bitter for us.

I believe this could be a new formula. It was in the newer designed bottle, not the one old style pictured. But it doesn't say anything on the bottle if the formula had changed.

No, although I do seem to notice that it is weaker than before. However, the flavor is still really good.

Taster's Choice changed the blend. It has a different taste now. It's stronger, with a pronounced aftertaste. I don't like it, personally. But the packaging is essentially the same -- 20 packets per box. But where you might have used 2 per mug, now you can use one. (Or none, in my case.)

I got my most recent jar in May and it was like every other jar I have had in the past.I sure hope they have not changed the formula!

I LOVE the old raspberry- the 'new and improved' flavor is awful. It is way too sweet and now has a sweetner wang to it I camnot stand. I think their test market must have been a bunch of 12 year olds. I have given it to several friends to try and no one so far has liked it. Please write to Alacer to tell them how you feel!

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.

thanks. the reason I asked is that they appear to have changed the chocolate when they switched to foil and I don't like the new taste.

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.

Yes, they are different. Can't put a finger on it, put would say they don't hold up to crispy and fresh as before. I also noted the supply isn't readily accessible as in past as well as the 'Low Sodium' box. Is this a distribution issue or is it discontinued?

I have taken the version 3.0 for many years and have felt wonderful. the new version 4.0 is different and I can't begin to sort out the changes as the list is long and presented differently. They have however "enhanced" the flavor with "orange-pineapple' and I am unable to tolerate the new taste. I have tried and tried and can taste this awful taste all day long. Perhaps you can find the labeling on line to review the contents of 3.0.--- 2.0 is no longer available.

I have submitted an inquiry to eb5 asking if the formula had changed, but I doubt it. Perhaps the vendor kept it at the wrong temperature. I have noticed no difference.

In the past this was clear with a yellow tint & sweet tasting. They have since changed the formula and it is a dark/red/brown in color and taste awful by itself. Good news is , simply put in Juice or water and you are good to go.

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.

I didn't notice the changed recipe...I only order them periodically, so didn't make a comparison. Truth be told, it's their texture than I like the most.

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.

I read about this on the internet and they changed their formula. Previous customers of the original formula complained that this new formula was not as affective. It only made me jittery with absolutely no appetite control.
