THREAD: Gummy Vitamin Flavor Debate: Love the Berry, Hate the Citrus - What Should I Try Next?Started by OP

Hey everyone, need some advice on gummy vitamin flavors! I'm obsessed with the mixed berry ones from my current brand - they taste like candy and I actually remember to take them. But I tried the orange citrus flavor once and it was awful, way too artificial and left a weird aftertaste. What's the consensus on the 'best' flavor out there? I'm buying more soon and don't want to waste money on another dud!

Totally get it - as a busy pro, I need my supplements to be quick and enjoyable or I'll skip them. Mixed berry is solid, but have you tried tropical punch? My brand's version has mango/pineapple notes and no weird aftertaste. I grab them during my 10-min break between meetings. Avoid anything labeled 'zesty' - those are usually the fake citrus ones you hate.

omg as a yoga instructor I'm surprised you dislike citrus! But everyone's taste buds are different :) I actually love the lemon-ginger ones for a calming effect after classes. For you though, maybe try pomegranate? It's rich and natural-tasting without being overpowering. My studio's wellness group swears by it!

Interesting flavor perception discussion! Scientifically, berry flavors often use real fruit extracts while citrus ones can rely on cheaper synthetics - explains the aftertaste. Based on your preference, I'd recommend looking for brands with 'dark cherry' or 'acai' options. They have similar antioxidant profiles to berry but more complex flavor layers. Check the ingredient list for natural flavors only.
