I'm so surprised other reviewers say these taste good because to me they have an incredibly strong rusty taste. I mean, they're iron, what did I expect right... but it's not tasty at all and the aftertaste does not go away easily. I personally hate taking pills so I'm a huge fan of gummy supplements and have tried a million different kinds of various supplements, and none have ever tasted flat out gross like these do. To be fair though, I've never tried any other *iron* gummies so it's very likely all iron gummy supplements taste similar. I imagine the iron taste is hard to mask. But they are like sweet sugary coated rust. BUT!!! I still gave them 3 stars because I do prefer chewing a rusty gummy to taking an iron pill (these are very easy on my stomach where as the pill form was not), and these particular ones are a fairly low dose (which is what I'm looking for) so I can just take one and get all the rusty bloody goodness I need.

No cramps, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. This is a first for me--not having iron give me horrible side effects!<br /><br />I'd like to give a big *facepalm* and &#34;duh&#34; to the people complaining about the iron taste--it's an iron gummy. What'd you all think it was going to taste like?! And, seriously, they don't taste bad. If you're anemic and tired you should be taking them for your health, and not the taste.<br /><br />These gummies are best for people who have digestional issues or absorption problems. Or for people who can't swallow a pill.<br /><br />After taking these for a short time I feel great, my doctor is happy with my numbers, and I look forward to eating them. I'll buy these for life!<br /><br />UPDATE 10/15/17<br />Still my favorite supplement for getting my iron to combat my anemia. The packaging has been updated and the gummy is better. It dissolves quicker and is less like a gummy bear. I love the taste. I don’t mind taking it. It doesn’t upset my stomach. I prefer these over any iron supplement I’ve ever taken (20+ years anemic).

I think the whiners who think these taste awful have never tried iron pills or been anemic before. I have tried almost everything on the market, and anything that has significant iron is going to have an aftertaste of metal. This brand is not bad and the sugary grape taste mostly overpowers it. If you don’t like the aftertaste, just drink juice – not a big deal. Believe me, when you have had a hemoglobin of 4.5, you’re not going to mess around. Several transfusions later, these make the best of a bad situation. They were good enough for me to put on my subscribe and save for monthly orders.

I guess everyone has different preferences but I didn't find the taste to be bad at all. A little gritty because they use pectin instead of gelatin but given what gelatin is made of, I prefer the pectin anyways. It's a little bit fruity but has that touch of iron taste that ALL iron supplements have. Would recommend for anyone dealing with b12 or iron issues and the price is reasonable. Will purchase again.

Great product. My Iron supplement for sure. On my second order. Easy to take. Look forward to taking it actually. No side effects. Will order again

This is going to be my third or fourth order. These are great. I also ordered them for my cousin who is deployed overseas and she is struggling with anemia. She loves them and asked me to send her more. I do take them daily, i take one when i wake up on my way to work and i take one after work out around 10:00 PM. I drink lots of water because i don't usually eat breakfast or lunch. I snack during the day and then have dinner around 06:00 PM. No side effects. I give these 5 stars.
