Veg1 pills-should there be a flavourless option?

[Blobbenstein]

Veg1 supplement from the Vegan Society come in two flavours: Orange, and Blackcurrant.

Personally, I don't want to taste either of these flavours when I am just taking them for their vitamins and minerals.
I would like the option of just sweetened and flavourless.
I'm not sure how it would taste, but with just sugar, I think the taste wouldn't be bad.
It might be a bit bitter if there were no sugar, as you have to chew them.

Do you take Veg1, and what do you think?

ETA: and in the poll, when I put 'I', I mean you.

perhaps a mod could change the poll to 'Would you like...etc"?

I suspect flavourless isn't really possible, since most ingredients probably taste something rather than nothing

They used to have only the blackcurrant flavour, so the orange flavour is relatively new. I think if they are going to have just two flavours, then orange and blackcurrant are probably fine. It's important that children or others who may be picky have some options that don't taste vile.

I've edited the poll question as requested.

I liked the blackcurrant one at first, then I went off it, and then I liked the orange one for a while, but although I like it some days, I would still rather just have non-(artificially)-flavoured pills.
I think the sugar by its self would mask most of any unpleasant tastes.


I was swallowing them for a while to avoid the taste, but them I read that you have to chew them.

Nope, I like the blackcurrant ones and I think they taste better than just sweet, and probably much better than no added flavours which in my experience of other vitamins usually means vile!

It's the sugar (and any kind of sweetener) that goes with the flavor that bothers me.
Question would be more...

Would you like a sugarfree Veg1 option?

 

[Blobbenstein]

It's only a bit of sugar, and without it the pill would really be a bit horrible, I think, especially as you have to chew it....I would rather a pill that you just swallowed really.

Even as a diabetic, the amount of sugar in one pill is so insiginifant that it wouldn't matter at all.

Those veg 1 pills smell worse than they taste, and they taste pretty bad. i think making them flavourless would make them inedible and stink even more.

 

[Envy]

Just swallow the darn pills whole.

Just swallow the darn pills whole.

I used to but then I read that you need to chew them.
