Fill in the blank - Liquid Iron tastes like....

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK. That is some evil stuff. The nutritionist was kind when she said she imagined that licking a rusty bike tire would taste about the same. FOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY. Come on, admit it - I can't be the only one who has had the pleasure... And since I'm having the late night sillies and I started it, I will admit that if you had a web cam on my face when I took it, I'm pretty sure I could have made you spit your beverage of choice on your monitor/keyboard when I danced the horrible taste jig in the kitchen. Nighty night! Best, Michele P

I can imagine the image of horror on your face and it is ALMOST enough to make me want to eat liver! EEEWWWWWWW to both of them! I know a good chaser though!!

I've not tried liquid iron..... but I bet it some how tastes like liquid b-12 which I am CONVINCED taste like what I THINK cat pee would taste like. "nuff said... Erin

A-W-F-U-L STUFF!! I know....it's bad. Are there shots you can get instead? I feel for you! Theresa

I did not start taking iron until I could take pills. I never could take any of the liquid stuff and spent way too much money on crap I only threw away. You can either get a pill crusher or buy it in capsule form and break it open. I did both of those for other things until I could take pills again.

I also take liquid iron and it taste like crap. I try to mix it with some type of juice or protein shake to try to mask the flavor. I hate the stuff but it helps me alot with my energy plus I have major iron deficency. Think happy thoughts when you take it. Tricia

Michele, I felt so bad for you when I read that you had to take this stuff. I feel quilty because I have a foster child that has to take it and I couldn't give him water with it. Well finally they took him off and I had a brand new bottle not even open so thought what the heck, it'll absorb better than the pill. I've never been so disgusted. There is no way to describe how gross it is. My condolences to you for having to swallow the stuff! Sheryl In the Zoo 369/325/???

I got mine thru CORI and threw it away the second time I tried it. YUCK!!! I don't know how people take it. I use hema-plex now. HT
