Klaire Labs VitaSpectrum Powder - Children's Multivitamin/Mineral with 23 Essential Nutrients in Berry-Pomegranate for Kids, No Copper, Iron, Gluten or Casein (30 Servings, 171 Grams)

Update 2/2022:Absolutely intolerable. I think they must have changed the recipe, because I literally can't choke this stuff down anymore. Even keeping the closed container in the cupboard makes me gag every time I open it to get something from the very potent smell. The new smell/taste is very fishy and is slightly reminiscient of eating a packet of unflavored gelatin. I don't know what happened but it's horrible now in both pineapple and orange juices. I'm so sad because I've been using it for years and now have to try to find a replacement. On top of that, the price is much higher now. My mom and husband won't drink it anymore either. In fact my mom thought I was trying to trick her into taking something new and told me to throw it in the trash.Original review:Can't tell you how much I love my Vitaspectrum. I have a tough time taking any types of vitamins due to an MTHFR gene mutation. I can really only take methylated forms of anything and I usually still have some issues. This stuff has been AMAZING. I've been using it for about a year now. I take half a scoop each day for 3 days before traveling in pineapple juice, and I haven't gotten sick as a result of planes, airports, etc. I have a terrible immune system so this is a miracle for me! I brought some with me to Japan on our honeymoon and had some every morning with breakfast in juice and didn't get sick once on the trip. I also take it if I am feeling run down, or get a sore throat, or generally feel unwell. I usually get strep throat a couple of times a year, and since starting this I haven't gotten it once (knock on wood). I also avoided a number of other illnesses my family caught, including the flu my husband had.I love it so much now my husband has started taking it, and I bought some for my mom, who loves it too. She is on oxygen with severe COPD and other lung diseases, and has terrible immune system issues. Any illness almost immediately becomes pnemonia and can put her in the hospital within a couple of days. She actually avoids going outside of the house because she is afraid of getting sick. This has helped her so much that she can now go to stores if the weather is nice and not worry quite as much.The only downsides - it tastes TERRIBLE in water or in food. Pineapple juice masks it perfectly for me though. Orange juice works too in a pinch, but is more acidic. Also, it can turn your urine green if you take more than your body needs.

Editing because of price increase . I paid 21.95 for over 5 years from this vendor and now the price has increased to 37.95. I will be finding another vitamin . am not sure why there are so many terrible reviews about the taste? Who would mix this with Sprite or Water or peanut butter sandwiches? That's just ridiculous. I have been mixing it in kefir for over 2 years and have had absolutely no problem with my son who happens to have texture aversion and will only drink eat a handful of foods. I am very happy with this product and this will be my third time ordering it from Amazon. Also, there is no fish smell whatsoever, so I'm not even sure where some of these reviewers even came up with that?I have to come back and just piggyback my original comment and just continue to say that I am still completely satisfied with this product . My only advice is for people who store it in a cabinet, you want to make sure that the cabinet dos not contain any humidity because although the container is sealed, it does trap humidity and does change the consistency to more of a rock hard substance ... So just be careful with that. My kitchen cabinets seem to hold more humidity than others.

This is a very potent vitamin. Not the best flavor because it has to be eaten not swallowed. We mix it with jam. Great for my 7 year old who hasn't eaten right in years and has abdominal pain and lack of nutrition absorption. It really helps to maintain her stamina and along with aloe juice has made a huge difference in her quality of life. We will buy this again and again and again! So glad we found this product.Update: My daughter is now almost 9 and we are still taking this. She still isn't wild about the flavor but I recently made and elderberry/blackberry jam that we have been mixing it with and she says that all she can taste is the elderberry. It is her body and we allow her to make a lot of the decisions about what she takes. There are times that she opts out of some of her other treatment but ALWAYS takes this vitamin as she knows how quickly she goes down hill without it. GREAT product!!!! It has literally saved my daughters life! THANK YOU!

This vitamin works well for my son. The quality is much better than most kids vitamins. The size of the container does give you a decent amount, but the price is a little expensive. Its easy to use with water, but I use a milk frother so the powder can desolve.

I bought a couple brands of copper free multivitamins and I really trust Klaire Labs (their infant probiotics is excellent!). We eat very very far out, varied our palate is NOT tuned to sugar or artificial flavors or the 'standard american diet'. My kids can handle just about any flavor, tartness, weirdness, and even for supplements, multiple supplements mixed together in one cup. We can take seakbuckthorn juice plain on a spoon. My son had to use a natural laxative at the recommendation of his dr and it contained some of the most bitter items in existence, but he insisted I open the capsule and he lick it off a spoon (the gastroenterologist was almost crying when he heard he was able to do this!). The same kid can take Butyrate on a spoon! I used this Klaire vitamin powder once for them and they were nearly choking and shuddering and begging to not finish it. I tried it twice myself, and this literally is the worst, worst taste I have ever tasted in a product ever! It isn't just like bitter or strange. I think it must be the b vitamins or something coming thru (we got the citrus flavor), but someone has got to find a stronger flavor to mask this or something because it is inedible. I know this is recommended for kids with autism but I cannot even figure how parents can get their kids to take it once especially if super sensitive to tastes and textures. It literally created an extreme aversion in me so much that I cannot even bring myself even think of getting my money's worth out of the rest of the jar (ie holding breathe and chugging it down).
