Do these supplements leave a taste in your mouth? I am trying to get moregreens into my teen who will not eat many vegetables. She will take supplements if they do not leave a taste in her mouth. Thanks you for your help.

"Green Food" is a bit of a misnomer. These are supplements, in pill-form, that are usually used as part of the Standard Process cleanse program. To answer the question directly: No, they do not leave a taste in the mouth - you swallow them like any capsule.

Sometimes companies do not pay for the USDA organic certification because of how expensive it is. They are really cracking down on companies saying things are Organic when they are not. I have been taking these vitamins for a while now, I love them, they make my hair and nails grow like crazy, I also have not been sick once since I started taking them 6 months ago. I have personally taken many vitamins over the years and these are by far my number one. I trust the company. Maybe you can call their customer service and make sure they are organic if you are worried. Good luck :)

I took the New Chapter vitamins after taking MegaFood for over a year and a half and was really disappointed in how I felt while taking New Chapter. The New Chapter brand made me feel very anxious. It was an unusual feeling. I went back to MegaFood and I am so happy I did. I feel so much better when I take them.

garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy. the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented.

I take several other supplements that taste far worse, so I cannot be the judge of that. They do have a vinegar and earthy taste to them though. Could just be the gelatin capsule absorbing the smells inside the bottle.

For a gummy vitamin, I feel like this is the best one out there. You can get more calcium if you purchase pills. Personally, I hate pills. And I love these.

B vitamins generally have a strong, weird smell which is why sublingual tablets like these contain flavoring and sweetener. Mine doesn't smell much, though, that I could detect. A rule of thumb I have read several places is that if a vitamin smells nasty to you, don't take it (because your body is signaling you that it won't be good for it). If it just smells weird, I wouldn't worry about it.

thanks much. i appreciate your feedback. i wonder why most supplements on amazon do NOT list all ingredients? and why doesn't the supplier answer questions as well??!! strange...

I personally didn't notice any after taste. These are the best ones I've found to get the 1000 mgs in something I'm able to swallow. I can't swallow tablets any longer and was hesitant at first over the size of these capsules but have no problem at all swallowing them. In fact ordering another bottle today. Hope this helps.

I've also heard that iron doesn't work in gummies. Have you seen an iron gummy? I think the iron changes the color/flavor of the gummy and would make it unappealing. Looks like people will have to stick to tablets of iron. No doubt it is important!

Sorry for tje delayed answer. I personally hadnt notice a bitterness but its possible. I have been taking them for a while so Im used to whatever taste the capsules have.

I have never had this experience with the capsules. If the seal was broken when you got them then throw it out. If not, how are you tasting them when they should be swallowed (don't hold them on your tongue) not chewed. You should be taking them with meals, maybe the food aftertaste made them taste strange? I never have tasted anything strange and I have been taking them for a year. Sometimes when you are not feeling well things will taste strange. In any case throw out when you are not sure and try again.

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!)...

Have they made any difference in how you feel? I'm thinking about taking them but wondering if they're just "snake oil.Thanks!Pattyesq@gmail.com

Offered supplements should be required to show ingredients but many don't. Some "show" it but deliberately blur the list and don't provide a magnifier thereby making it impossible to read. Its ODD! I would never buy a supplement without knowing what's in it! The only way is to look it up elsewhere and hope to find same or better price to reward sites that disclose all the information!

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 guess it depends on what you child is used to. I do think they have changed them somehow recently. My son used to like them and now he does not. The most recent bottle tastes different from what the previous bottles tasted like. I have tried them my self and can attest to the change in taste. It's an aftertaste that is a bit unpleasant really. They are really go vitamins.
