NutriBear Iron Gummies Supplement with Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Folate, for Women, Kids & Adults - Supports Energy, No After Taste, Vegan Supplements - Grape Flavor (60 Ct)

I found these to be impressive. Iron is not a yummy taste, difficult the find something my kids da will take. These almost melt in your mouth. They aren’t real chewy like gummy bears, just a soft candy like vitamin. My one son won’t take these but he is awfully picky. The other takes it no problem. So with kids it’s hit or miss but I tried it and it’s defin not bad tasting, I think the texture just would take getting used to because it isn’t exactly what you expect

Iron pills are simply difficult. If you swallow them whole, they hurt your stomach, if you chew them, they taste like blood. In this case, the makers of NutriBear Iron Jellies managed to mask the flavor so that you can chew them - to a point. If you chew them for any longer than a few seconds, the iron/blood taste comes out. So I normally chew them about ten times and then swallow them mostly whole because blood is not a flavor/smell I adore. Still, these are the ONLY iron supplements I have found to date that both mask the flavor and don't hurt my stomach. So, kudos and five stars. Now I'm not anemic.

EDIT: These are no longer bear shaped..? It's shaped like an orange slice but remind me of maggots. I find the new shape disturbing and will NOT be reordering. Upon opening the bottle it smells different than before. Also, the description says you get two bottles for some reason?ORIGINAL:I love the taste of these and would reorder again, but unfortunately, they're unavailable. Now, I have to settle my anemic needs elsewhere and I find that really disappointing. It actually just tastes like sugar-coated candy in little bear shapes.

I taste tested the NutriBear Iron Jellies and thought they tasted fruity and great. My 9 year old thought they were ok. I know they are better tasting than Flinstones chewable with iron. The Nutribear iron jellies have the consistency of soft gum drops, not gummy bears. They are coated with some crystals to prevent them from sticking and we have had no issues with stickiness. The Vitamin Friends iron gummies are very very similar in size and consistency except they taste like strawberry. I think you can't go wrong with either brand.

My 2 year old was told to increase his iron and he HATED the taste of all liquid supplements. It was a struggle. He could even taste the liquid when disguised in juice. He loves these and would eat more. I also like that they are vegetarian and do not contain gelatin. The great flavor is almost a downside, as they taste so good that you have to be very aware they are medicine and iron can be toxic, so only use the doctor recommended amount - even though they look and taste like "candy" (obvious advice, I realize, but my son hasn't figured out they are not treats and I often worry about encouraging good flavored drugs for children). But the important aspect is he eats them and is getting his iron supplement without a struggle!

I expected there to be an odd taste with iron supplements but my child wont eat them. Theyre also a bit harder than other gummy vitamins. They do absorb well and my childs iron levels stay normal while on these.

I was trying to find a gummy with iron, so this was the perfect idea. I gave it to the kids and they hated it and refused to take it again. So, I tried one, it was awful. Taste like vitamins with no flavoring!

I've been using them for her for a while now and we are almost through the whole bottle. They do have a metallic taste but it's not bad at all. If you have a very picky child it may be a problem, but maybe not. My daughter is kind of picky but still takes these easily.I wish they were a little higher in iron then they are at only 5mg I think 8mg would be better from the research I've done.Either way I'm very happy to have an iron supplement she will take easily.
