I just put the powder into water, it has a noticeable bitter taste. Is this normal? And why?

This vitamin and mineral mix is not flavored with large doses of sugar and artificial flavorings as many products are. And that is a good thing. I mix All One with my morning juice or smoothie and it works just fine for me. Have fun experimenting. I am pleased with the product after over a year of use.

Yea.It tastes much better with juice. Make sure u shake it to dissolve well.

We always used either orange juice, tomato, V8 or cranberry juice. I don't think I would like it in water, after all it is vitamins and minerals not gummy bears..lolol

Try it with orange juice. It will taste just like the juice. If you put the powder in a shaker with about 8 oz. of juice and shake well, it won't be gritty either. I've been staying healthy with All One for about thirty years now. I wouldn't miss a day without it!

Yes. Can't say why for sure but suspect it must be due to vitamin content. We always mix the powder with juice or in a smoothie.

The amazing amount of vitamins, minerals and bionutrients couldn't possibly taste good in just water. I recommend you mix in apple juice or cranberry juice. You can power-up a delicious smoothie with All One as well.

I have always mixed the powder with fruit juice so I never actually tasted the water mix. I recommend juice.

yes, the taste is a little odd. I mix this with fruits and a almond milk in a blender to get a better taste.

This vitamin powder will have a better taste if you mix it with juice. I have also tried it in water and the taste is not good. I have used this for quite a while now and always mix it with orange juice, however my husband has mixed it with apple cider with good results.

It is normal. It is not "doctored" up to taste good.(sugar etc.)I use about an inch of ice tea in the 16oz. cup that they give you.That takes the bitterness away for me.

It tastes, like, well...dirt. I never just "eat" it. I add it smoothies, hot cereal or if I'm in a hurry, just filtered drinking water. I mix one heaping teaspoon to my pick of the day and mix it in.

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 took mine with water and it has no flavor at all. It's kind of grainy but that's it. It does not take long to kick in.

Yes me too, I wrote a review about it. The taste is terrible also. I had been buying from Amazon though so I am not sure why it is suddenly different.

Good question ... I also get a powdery residue all over the molds from time to time, I was puzzled but assumed it was the hardness of our water. This company is totally non-responsive even though they claim to want feedback.

I don't think it tastes. I add it to water with crystal light and I cannot taste it.

Yes indeed! as the hard minerals are out of solution the bitter taste is gone, water tastes sweeter. Order with confidence from Small Wonder USA, 1 ye money back, free tech support and gift with order.

I don't know exactly, but it was a dry powder that you added water too, I would think it would be ok till then, believe me, it won't last beyond the day you give it, it was pretty neat.

Make sure the liner is completly dry first. I use the powder all the time with mine. I've used this stuff for years and it lasts for at least six months at a time for me, sometimes longer. Don't forget, it will taste funny at first. What I've been doing is gargle with sugar water afterwards (once the liner is dry). The funny taste doesn't last long.

I found no bitterness to it at all. As for the acidity, I didn't even notice any. No mind you, I brew all my coffee on the strong side. The acidity to me is simply a bi-product of strong coffee that I never concern myself with or worry about.

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.com Telephone: 1-866-365-5339). I described this smell as rather a motor oil-like (this is what it reminds me). They say it's normal for the first cycles :-) It's a glue that holds the parts together and it gets burned initially. The explanation makes sense to me, so I will give it a try. No plans to drink this water, though, until the smell (and the taste) goes away. The idea was to drink pure water, not diluted glue :-)

You need to add some stevia if your watching your sugar intake. Or make up some simple syrup to it. (you can make a batch and keep it in the fridge) It's bitter and drinking it straight is not going to taste good.

If you take a bit to get through your cup, pour it into another cup or thermos. If it's herbal or fruit tea (no actual tea) it usually won't go bitter, but the flavor will be different than normal

When I first got it I thought the water tasted like dirt/minerals. It took about 2 weeks for that taste to go away but it finally did and now the water is just as good as bottled water. I think the filter probably as some small particles that need to get out before it tastes really good. I drink almost a gallon of water a day so if you really can't stand the water maybe try cooking with it or watering plants with it for the first week or 2 weeks to get rid of that mineral taste. Go through about a gallon a day.

It taste like sewer water. I know you probably haven't had sewer water before but if you could describe it post drinking, you would describe it as sewer water. You're going to need crystal light lemonade mix to go with it if you want a shot in hell to benefit from it.

I mixed what was left of this stuff with some natural gnc stuff just to cut the taste. I went to this for the same reasons you are asking. What I have noticed is it is easy to build a tolerance to all this stuff. I did however, go back to c4 for now. If you don't mind the bad taste, go for it.
