Hey everyone! I've been taking these beauty gummies for a month now and I'm obsessed with the strawberry flavor - they taste like candy! But the orange ones... yuck, they have this weird aftertaste that reminds me of medicine. I'm about to reorder and want to try a new flavor. What's the consensus on the best flavor? Should I stick with strawberry or is there another one that's even better?

As an amateur chef, I'm all about flavor profiles! The strawberry ones are good, but have you tried the mixed berry? They've got a more complex taste - like a homemade compote. I actually use them as inspiration for my dessert recipes sometimes. The citrus blend is also decent if you like tangy, but steer clear of the tropical mix if you hated orange - it has similar notes.

Student budget here 👋 I feel you on the orange - tasted like cheap vitamins to me. I switched to the generic berry blend from the store brand and it's almost identical to the name-brand strawberry but 30% cheaper! If you're sticking with the brand though, the acai flavor is pretty good and often on sale. Pro tip: check for coupons on their website before ordering!

Vegan perspective: The strawberry ones are definitely the crowd-pleaser, but make sure you're checking the sourcing! Some flavors use non-vegan colorings. The pomegranate flavor is my go-to - it's naturally colored and has a nice tartness. Plus, the company donates to sustainable farming with that flavor purchase. Win-win for taste and ethics!

Science enthusiast chiming in! The orange aftertaste you're noticing might be from the vitamin C ester they use - it's more stable but has that characteristic flavor. The strawberry masks it better with natural flavors. If you want optimal absorption without taste issues, the lemon-ginger flavor uses a different formulation that's actually more bioavailable. Taste is subjective, but chemically speaking, it's the most efficient option.
