B12 gummies: Berry vs Citrus - which flavor is actually good?
So I've been taking B12 gummies for a few months now (vegetarian, needed the boost). I started with the Berry flavor from [Brand X] and LOVED it - like eating candy. But then I tried their Citrus and ugh, it tasted like cleaning product. I'm almost out and need to restock. Which flavor do you all think is the best? I don't wanna waste money on another dud. Also open to other brands if they taste better. Help a broke student out!
Ah, the great gummy flavor debate! I've been down this rabbit hole. Honestly, Berry is usually a safe bet across brands, but you gotta watch out for 'natural flavors' - sometimes they sneak in weird aftertastes. I remember back in the day when I first started supplementing, I tried a Tropical flavor that was straight-up sunscreen. Never again. My advice: stick with Berry if you liked it. But if you're feeling adventurous, try Strawberry - it's milder than Citrus.
Night shift worker here, so I mainline B12 like it's coffee. I've tried a ton of flavors. Berry is decent, but I find it gets old after a while. Citrus can be hit or miss - some brands nail it, others fail hard. Have you tried the Raspberry flavor from [Brand Y]? It's tart but not fake. Also, check if the gummies are pectin-based vs gelatin - pectin ones tend to have a chalkier texture that can mess with flavor. Just my two cents.
Thanks for the tips! I didn't think about pectin vs gelatin. The Berry ones I had were gelatin, I think? They were super chewy. I'll look into Raspberry. Anyone else have a favorite? I'm leaning toward just getting Berry again but kinda want to branch out.
If you do branch out, buy the smallest bottle you can find. Nothing worse than being stuck with 60 gummies you hate. Learned that the hard way with a 'Honey Lemon' flavor that tasted like cough drop. Let us know what you pick!
