Way too sweet
Katie
from Mpls., MN essential_multivitamin3
While the product is extremely convenient and effective, the berry flavor is way too sweet. I'm talking eye watering, lip puckering, teeth clenching sweet. Thankfully it dissolves quickly as you chew so it's tolerable but I won't be re-ordering this flavor again. Hopefully, the orange flavor will be better balanced.

Best I’ve tried in 18 years!
Judith
from North Dakota essential_multivitamin5
I had Roux en Y 18 years ago. I’ve kept off 100 lbs. I need a well absorbed multi without iron as I don’t absorb iron by mouth. My endocrinologist doc suggested this brand. I have tried these chewables and the capsules. The chewables are the BEST! After taking them for 3 months, my labs were great and my hair and nails are the healthiest they have been in years! My nails grew long and strong! That’s my sign that the product is being absorbed well by my body. I feel great, too!

Good vitamin with a side of nausea
Amy
from Texas,USA essential_multivitamin3
The taste is ok and not sweet nor sour. I usually buy the black cherry chewables and wanted a change. These are good but causes nausea, even with food. I had the gastric sleeve 5 years ago and love Bariatric Advantage products. I would give 5 stars if if didn’t make me nauseous.

Awful taste
Courtney
from San Antonio, TX essential_multivitamin1
I read back and forth reviews and decided to try this to save money but wow it's seriously awful. The flavor permeates my mouth for about 20 minutes and ruins foods for me. May just throw them away.
