So I bought these new Black Seed Oil gummies in the Natural Ginger Ale flavor for my immune boost. My 6-year-old saw the bottle and begged for 'gummy candy'. I gave her one, and she chewed it... then made that face kids make when they eat something healthy. Now she's mad that I tricked her. LOL. Anyone else have kids who think supplements are candy?

Haha, I feel you! My husband once grabbed my omega-3 gummies thinking they were fruit snacks. He ate like 4 before he realized they weren't sweet. Now he reads labels. Also, these black seed ones – the ginger ale taste is a bit strong, right? My kid refuses to even try them.

GreenGreg36, that's hilarious but also a good reminder to keep supplements out of reach. I fast intermittently so I take these in the morning, and the texture is a bit chewy but not bad. My spouse tried one and said it's like a spicy gummy bear. Not for everyone, I guess. Maybe store them in a different container?

Yeah, I'm definitely putting them in a labeled jar. QuantumQuincy934, do you find the 500mg per 2 gummies is enough? I've been taking 1 gummy for maintenance. And Yara, my wife tried one and said it's 'like a gingery cough drop' – not the best review lol

I take 2 gummies after my runs for joint support. Honestly, the flavor grew on me – now I kinda like the zing. But yeah, kids? Forget it. Maybe blend them into a smoothie? Though that might ruin the whole 'gummy' experience. Good luck, GreenGreg!
