Are these soft gels? And is there any gross after taste?

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

I have tried the softgels, however I can't remember for sure if they are larger than fish oil softgels. I seem to recall them being the largest softgel I have ever seen. That being said, they are seamless and super shiny and I never had a problem swallowing them. They are on the pliable side and the shiny quality, I believe, reflects that it is also slippery. Sorry this doesn't clarify as much as gives my impression of them. It has been several years since I have taken mag citrate in this form.

A little bit largish but they're gel caps and they're soft so very very easy to swallow. I hate swallowing pills, but these are easy

Hello Jane!These are softgel about 3/4 of an inch long. Softgels are pretty easy to swallow.

Powder is definitely not yummy but not gross if I doctor up the smoothie with sweet stuff like beets, apple banana, or pineapple & ginger. I have no prob with the tablets - no yucky taste going down and no after-taste. I can tell the benefits of taking it on a regular basis - regular gal :) I use both and the Nutrex BioAstin Astaxanthin... to prevent inflammation and aches when I over-exercise.

Nope. They are fine after washing. I didn't notice any smell or taste from the silicone.

The soft gels are fabulous, but the tablets do not absorb whatsoever in your body. They just go straight through your system.

My are quite soft. Has no expiration date on package but taste good-like a tootsie roll!!

OK...I loved these, because they are extremely stiff; which means they keep their "star" shape, even though pressed together in a sack. The stiffness affects flavor a lot; they don't easily melt in the mouth. I would guess they have twice the usual gelatine content. Also, these are more for decorating than eating, imho...the flavors are not terribly pronounced, except for the orangey one, which tastes like candied grapefruit peel or really good European candied citron with a lot of the peel. My 16 year old daughter loves them; but that may have something to do with the usual lack of any candy in the house. Hope this helps.

There is no bad taste. They can be put under the tongue and dissolve even more quickly than a remedy in pellet form. The texture is slightly different. Almost as if made with a powdered sugar base.

I've been taking them regularly for several years. I pop them just before lunch (other supplements before breakfast), I've never had an issue with after taste.My wife took them for a bit at random times and did complain about the after taste; I think the key is to have other "stuff" in the mix ! Take them just before a meal.

My understanding of this product is they are! By the way, I have put them in the dishwasher twice now, and I don't smell or taste anything out of the ordinary!Also, be aware that once filled, you must be very careful when taking them to the freezer! I use a thin flat item to get them into the freezer and than carefully remove it from underneath as they can be pretty messy! Very easy to spill out! But also VERY easy to remove one or all!Haven't used them that much, I fill them with Crystal Light, freeze them and use them w/Crystal Light in my Thermos cup when I go to the gym! Works great for that! My understanding of this product is they are!

It was a long time since I purchased them for my husband I do not believe they were soft gel, I believe they were capsules.

The smell isn't the greatest but since my hair is falling out and my nutritionist believes this supplement might help, I am going for it! I don't find the taste to be bad at all. I take them with a protein drink which probably overcomes it. I'd encourage you to stick with it, the benefit outweighs the short offensiveness.

Yes they are very soft, you will like them. But it smells bad once you receive them, but it will go away.

Shalom Kenny, No this is not a soft-gel but a solid tablet. I've been using them for about 2 years and have had very positive results. I started taking them during the winter months initially and saw an amazing decrease in contracting cold viruses and illnesses from my co-workers and the general public. I now take them on a daily basis year round. This is a wonderful product.
