Hey everyone, I've been taking probiotic gummies for a few weeks now and I'm totally hooked on the mixed berry flavor - it's like a little treat after meditation! But I tried the citrus ones last week and... yikes. Way too tart, almost made me cringe. What's the consensus on the best flavor? I need to restock soon and don't want to waste money on another dud. Thanks!

lol greg, you're really overthinking this. They're all just sugar with some marketing buzz. But since you asked - I've tried the tropical blend and it's not bad. Less fake-tasting than most. Still skeptical about whether these actually do anything though. My gut feels the same as before I started.

Interesting question! From a formulation perspective, flavors shouldn't affect probiotic efficacy, but palatability matters for adherence. I've reviewed several brands in my nutrition course - berry flavors generally have higher satisfaction ratings. The peach-mango ones have good feedback too, with less acidity than citrus. Have you checked the CFU counts on your current brand? That's more important than flavor long-term.

Thanks both! Pat - I get the skepticism, but they've actually helped my digestion a ton. Rose - good point about the CFU, mine has 5 billion per serving. Peach-mango sounds promising! Anyone tried the strawberry? Or should I just stick with my berry fave?

Strawberry's okay, kinda generic tho. Honestly if you found one you like, why switch? Placebo effect is real - if berry works for you, roll with it. But hey, if you try peach-mango and hate it, don't say I didn't warn you about this whole supplement rabbit hole ;)
