Does anyone know what changes were recently made in taste? My youngest son just wont eat his vitamin now and he used to love it. He is 2.5 years old.

When I contacted them to let them know my kids did not like the new taste, they responded saying "We've brightened the cherry berry flavor, adding a bit of sweet and sour that kids love." My kids sure didn't like the new taste and they are 7 and 9.

I used to do this with vitamin capsules when my children were young. You can also break the capsule open and just pour it into the mouth. It is not all that bad tasting. But, if the person tends to be fussy, use the juice.

I am currently out of Pedia Vites and have Child Life multi vitamins. I do know the ingredients are better in the Pedia Vites.

These vitamins contains all natural fruits and vegetable in a concentrated form. Read the label on the back. Iron is found in many of these plus make sure your child gets enough chicken and fish and some red meats. My grand daughter has been taking these for two years. She appears to be very healthy. I hope this helps with any concerns.

The childrens one is smaller than the junior and requires more pills to get less omega3s. My 14mo and 37mo both chew the juniors without problem and love them. Recommend skipping the childrens and going to this one (but I only give 1 pill to both of my kids).

We stopped taking this because they changed the flavor. From what I can tell it's because they started using Stevia in the new formulation. I compared my old jar to the new one and that's the only difference I can see. My kids used to love them, now they just taste nasty!

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!

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.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for this. I use the multi-vitamin, which as far as I know isn't designed to help a specific condition. I like them because I have a finicky eater who always eats them.

I bought this powdered vitamin for Mom's cat over 2 years ago. He is a Ragdoll and on a raw diet which I make for him and add some of this vitamin powder to the food he is eating at the time; not in the whole batch of his raw diet. He has had no ill effects & actually loves the taste. Anyway, I know we treat our pets like "family members" but I bet we, as humans, eat a lot worse. It is a good product so relax. Who cares where it comes from? Have you looked on the labels on our food?

Why is it in a place where your kids think it's candy and want to eat it? Are your Meds in a place where your kids will try to eat them? The same holds true for Tide. Mine is on top shelf, in my Laundry Room, behind a door, and my grandkids could never find it to eat. They would much rather eat my Noodle Pudding!! Claire Siegel

For children 4 and up the bottle says to take two and it lists the percent daily value. I suggest that you check with your pediatrician and check with the government recommendations for vitamin intake just to be sure. You might want to look up the adult vitamins by Veglife and see/ ask dr. if that might fit his needs better.

Not that I have noticed. I take them with other vitamins (Animal Pak) and those seem to have more of an aftertaste. I also take them in the morning with a protein shake after working out, so that may contribute to not tasting the supplement.

Will he not drink any milks? There's rice, almond, coconut, hemp, quinoa etc... you could always try changing the color and adding stevia. After getting used to drinking all sugar its hard to go to bland. But to answer your question, YES it will definitely change juice to a milky colored weird thing. Your better off adding Protein water nrg or a non fizzy vitamin with protein packet for kids if your trying to add supplementation. Hope this helps

I give my son the flinstoone gummy vites....so immediately after mixing in orange juice, I give him the gummy and that removes the taste. Great product though, helped my son a lot. Enjoy

Yes, unfortunately this is absolutely true. It's unfortunate because it has ruined the product. It leaves a nasty aspartame aftertaste that I just can't handle. Returning my 3 cans. This was one of meals everyday since the late 90s. Now I have to figure something else out I guess. I suggested that Natures Plus make a Spirutein Classic. They'll notice that their sales drop immediately from this change and probably change back. I wrote the company directly to inquire about the change.
