In my experience they did not leave a taste in my mouth. I took them in pill form and with food.

"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.

I don't have full use of my "smell" sense, but my husband says they don't smell bad like the Omeg Reds. I also pierce mine and add the contents to my morning protien shake and it doesn't effect the taste (don't like swallowing those large capsules)

I am an environmental specialist and I have been taking this product for about 1 year now. I get what you are saying about the metals. The only advice I can offer is to follow the directions and not drink it undiluted. The levels are safe when consuming a healthy diet that will help to expel any harmful toxins. I also take chlorella and bentonite clay which greatly helps to remove toxins and metals from the body. I hope very much this helps a little. If you still have questions ask your doctor. They might be able to answer more thoroughly. Also, I put this in my diy toothpaste and it has helped to remineralize my teeth.

Because my 8.5 year old daughter has terrible eating habits and dislikes, I am very glad that they have these gummy supplements to give her. This isn't my preferred means of her getting fruits and veggies, but I rest a little easier when I know these are available and she takes them. The taste grows on you. I so hope that they are continued to be made and available.

I have never noticed any aftertaste with this pill and no taste noticed when swallowing. I either take with glass of water. My description of taste is that there is no taste at all.

I have taken them before and during a meal and I seem to get the desired result. I have tried (a couple of times) to take them after a meal, but it did not seem to work well that way. I would suggest using as directed (before each meal).

I know the question is old (over a year), but I wanted to put my 2 cents worth in. I saw this question since I was looking up the product, as I had purchased it and noticed that artificial sweetener aftertaste, to which I am very sensitive to. I can't stand ANY artificial sweeteners... and yes, I can taste it in this product. Once I use the box up, not buying it again.

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.

Yes, it does smell fishy because that's what's in there, but I swallow them too fast to be bothered by any aftertaste. It wouldn't bother me anyway; it's a great supplement!

I think this should be a question for the manufacturer. It seems too much like medical advice to say whether to take a supplement without it's "sealed container." I have started taking mine every other day because I do notice a 'fishy" burp occasionally. Otherwise I like them. I would look for a smaller pill for your son, even if he has to take more than one to get the necessary amount.

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!

Mine smell very badly (and I didn't order them online - bought them at a health food store) and they also make me nauseous if I take them on an empty stomach. I've had other supplements that smell badly, as well, so I personally don't think it's anything out of the ordinary.

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. 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... » Read More 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. « Show Less

Well, the taste of purified whey protein is not that great, at least not for me. So if your son is finicky about taste, he may not like this. The benefit of this protein is that it is supposed to not have additional additives. The juice helps, but it doesn't remove the taste of the protein. This product may be better for adults or teenagers that can get past the taste part and focus on the health benefits. I hope this helps.

I bought the mint flavor and it's not bad at all. I have taken it by the spoonful, but most of the time I mix it into a smoothie. I haven't noticed an after taste either.

Everyone has different taste however my kids really didn't like it, I switched to this one 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's a chewable and they ask me for more!
