I've ordered this product 10 times since Sep 2019. Before I began buying it, I was instead buying a similar product of the brand MaryRuth's, which is more expensive. So I replaced the MaryRuth's with this Source of Life. Some time this past summer or autumn I suddenly noticed that the formulation of the latest lot had acquired a very sweet flavor. In fact, 3arlier lots could not be as being sweet at all. So I inspected its label and discovered that it no longer contains vit C ! Earlier lots of this product contained 500 mg vit C ( as ascorbic acid ) per 2 Tbs serving. I happen to posess some pure ascorbic acid powder, so I know for a fact that when as little as 250 mg is dissolved in a cup of naturally low hardness water that has subsequently been PUR filtered such an aqueous solution of vit C has an unequivocally sour flavor. FRUCTOSE has been included in its ingredients ever since I began purchasing it, but I surmise that not only has this products' sourness ( vit C ) been removed, it has also been much further adulterated with increased fructose content in order to make it overall sweet. So Source of Life has evidently traded away a bit of this product's nutrition in favor of its new, sweet taste. This was accomplished by replacing all of its vit C with greater fructose content. At first I thought this was a negative change in its formulation, but I later realized that for my lifestyle it's quite desirable. You see, I prefer to take my multi-vitamin-mineral supplement a few hours BEFOR exercise, but I recently learned that vit C blunts most of the benefits of physical exercise when it's supplemented before training. See PMID: 18175748 (2008). Better to take vit C hours later; just before bedtime. So I'm very pleased with this product, and like it more now than ever :-) However, it could be further improved, via complete replacement of its fructose with monk fruit extract powder to serve as a zero carbohydrate sweetener. Such a revision would be most appealing to those of us who practice ketogenic dieting and / or daily intermittent fasting, and / or exercise before mealtime. I would rerate this item to 5 stars if such an improvement were made.

My elderly mother has a great deal of trouble swallowing (dysphagia), and unfortunately, she is not able to eat enough to get the vitamins she needs. This liquid form is wonderful for her (though I do need to add thickener to it, as I have to do for all her liquids due to her dysphagia). The taste (yes, I tried it myself before giving it to her) is great, and there is no unpleasant odor. It has also not caused her any digestive issues. It is easy to mix (I mix it into liquid calcium - but be aware that calcium will interfere with some minerals, but it is the vitamins that I need). I also like that most of the vitamins have a high dose, since with her advanced dementia, I'm only able to give her anywhere from a quarter to a half of the suggested serving size on any given day. However, this multivitamin has no vitamin C. From my research, I understand why some multivitamins leave out vitamin C (just Google it; there are several reasons), but it is something I did not notice when I bought it, and I think it's important for people to be aware of. Now that I know, I will buy liquid vitamin C and add it to this. Why not just buy a multivitamin with vitamin C? It is tough finding a multivitamin that checks all the boxes, and this one checks almost all the boxes I need. (As an aside, I needed a vitamin with iron for myself, but also found it hard to find one. Then I found out that iron can interfere with absorption of some vitamins, which is why some multivitamins leave it out, or in the case of this multivitamin, the percentage is only 25%)

So far I am enjoying this liquid vitamin supplement- taste good, no stomach upset- a good option for those folks seeking a daily liquid vitamin
