“This is a good chewable multivitamin. The taste really makes me pucker up and my eyes squint, but I can tolerate it. And I am more compliant with this chewable multi then I have been with any other. Only thing, is if you keep these in a medicine box (or anywhere outside the bottle) they get a really bad irony taste, like sucking on blood taste. I find keeping it in the bottle, keeps it tasting "citrusy".”

“I have been taking a prescription prenatal vitamin since I have had surgery, so this is the first over the counter vitamin I have tried and I do NOT like orange flavor at all, but I was totally suprised by this. It tastes like orange cream. I actually like and don't mind taking it. With my other vitamins I have to crush them and they are gross! I really enjoy these. I just hope the nutritional value is good enough. I thought about taking them 2 times a day instead of the one. Overall... they are suprisingly good.”

“This vitamin is very strong in flavor, sometimes seemed to irritate my throat. Compared it to One Source children's chewable vitamins: One source had more of EVERY VITAMIN AND MINERAL, with the exception of magnesium (difference of a few miligrams). Comes in grape, cherry, etc. Very yummy flavors. Now I can take all of my recommended vitamins and enjoy doing so!!!!!! Oh, and they're less than $3 bottle of 60 at wal-mart. How 'bout that?”

“Although I prefer Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins over the Centrum Chewables, I took the Centrums for the first 2 months as a postop. Before I used Bariatric Advantage's chewable vits (there is a link in my profile), I thought Centrum Chewables were the perfect vitamin for me. I've since learned that I wasn't getting all the extra vitamin/minerals I needed from them.”

I sometimes use these when I don't feel like taking my "big" Centrum. Last week I had a mild case of flu. My stomache was queazy so I just took the chewable instead.”

“I used to LOVE those children's chewable aspirin and was happy that my vitamins were going to be so good. BUT I COULD NOT choke these down. I have gone for 3 weeks with no vitamins because I try to chew one of these everday, and every day I spit it out. I quit!!! It just goes to show you how different people's tastes are. If you like these, they are a good value and have excellent range and quantity of vitamins. Good luck!!! (PS- don't smell these whatever you do. The smell is worse than the taste).”
