I need to give this to my young son due to a severe defiency. How is the taste, since he will chew it and not swallow it whole?

I don't know, since I have never chewed it. It does not taste like anything on the tongue before I swallow it though. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I don't know about the taste. However, the tablets are small. You could also cut them in half or quarters and then have your child swallow as I don't believe they are meant to be chewed.

Have no idea as taste. Recommend you bite a piece off to see. It is an anti-oxidant and used for things like ALS. arthritis, lung deficience, etc. so it is safe. Note: the other day, I chewed an aspirin thinking it was needed and surprised it didn't gag me or was not bitter so I won't hesitate to do it again if the need arises. Amazon is very good with their policies and am sure they will be fair with you with this product. Good luck to you and your son. Meemaw of 4

No no and no. They are really gross my son wouldn't even try to bite into it putting it in his mouth was bad enough . The coating on the outside is a sugary concoction that is trying to disguise the horrible smell, texture and taste and after taste. Hope this helps

It's not very big. About the size of an average vitamin. My 10 year old who has sensory issues swallows it just fine daily.

For my son, whose 9, it tasted awful to begin with but after a couple weeks the taste didn't bother him at all.

I would give your little one just a small piece of it. I have an 8 lb shichon who will eat the whole then and then promptly get sick :(!

It's not pleasant. My husband mixes his dose with apple juice which helps a lot. Considering that it is keeping him alive, the taste is really not that important to him.

Yes, this happened when my son was chewing the orange. Hope it is nontoxic...

I crush the tablets (and they are HUGE)-- one in the morning and one in the afternoon/evening-- and sprinkle it on his food. I can sprinkle while he is eating and he keeps on eating, so it must taste okay. In the morning, I also sprinkle the contents of a capsule of cosequin.

These require chewing, I'd crush it up and put it in something they'd eat. It's not a bad taste, I tried one myself and they're definitely not bad.

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!

It should smell like salmon, a bit fishy, but will taste sweet not rancid if you chew them. My kids and I chew them up and enjoy the taste.

I bought it for my daughter, but by the time we received it the problem was over! :-/ I bought it because I remembered that it was the only medicine that I truly liked when I was a kid. I don't think it tastes any worse than all those horrible bubble gum flavored things out there - I think it's better. In my experience, most medicines cause refusal and crying! The vomiting is a mystery to me. I have started giving my daughter regular doses of fiber and probiotics (both are the gummy types) and we've never had a repeat of that particular issue since - so there's that. Good luck!

I don't find the taste at all objectionable. I put it in just enough water to make one good swallow and then drink more water. It's just a few seconds of a strong taste and then life goes on.

I don't have any problems with the swallowing of the tablet.... If you are concerned with the size I would suggest cutting it in half. This is what I would do, it is a great vitamin!

It doesn't last very long. Maybe a day. You end up swallowing most of it. I followed all directions and this junk don't work. I am trying to get a refund. Hope this helps.

I don't mind the taste, but my son does not like it and is resistant to taking them because of it. The best we've found is to mix it in some fruit juice. Also, if your kid drinks a lot, mixing it with more water will dilute the taste as well.

My son was eating them before he had teeth. They soften up quickly so it may get messy (and sticky). But without teeth you will have to keep a close eye because the pieces may break off too big for a little one that isn't use to eating something solid. But my son took to them quickly and enjoyed feeding himself.
