VITAMIN C LIPO-SACHETS® FOR KIDS 500MG

There seems to be no easy way to get all the contents out of the packet without making a wasteful mess. Flavour wasn't terrible.

If I Could give no stars I would. Absolutely disgusting.

Gave these to my grand children, who said they were horrible - they were correct. They are awful!

Kids tried it, and spat it out, horrible taste, which is a shame.

My kids said it tasted horrible so I tried it, they were right.

Awful taste. Kids refuse to take it

Don’t like the taste and too expensive

great way to get a vitamin c boost

Taste so sooo bad!!!

These were truly awful.

Terrible taste. Quite horrible in fact. Tried to disguise it in a fruit or vegetable smoothie with no success. Expensive.

None of us liked theflavour

Awful taste! My son almost got better immediately for fear of having to have another one. Even i tried it and i struggled to enjoy it

Not a nice flavour

Needs improvement on flavour cost quite high

I didn't like the flavor myself kinda bland. I doubt the kids will like this on its own

It just tastes so bad

Did not like the flavour at all

Really good way of delivering Vit C It is worth putting up with the funny taste

I was excited to try these but Unfortunately the flavour is disgusting, you can't even disguise it with juice. Do not recommend

Interesting way to deliver Vit C, tastes unusual

I eat them but my kids can't they said they are disgusting however I been adding them into smoothies hehe and they don't know

The grandkids actually liked them. Didn’t mind the taste.

Yeah NAH these where disgusting, whole family disliked. And it stuck to your tongue so hard to get ride of flavour. Don't touch them.

I'm not one to be rude about flavours, but neither my kids nor I could finish a packet. So unpleasant. Why did no-one taste test these before they produced them?!!

These were seriously disgusting, and we eat anything. We keep them in the cupboard as a party game to see if it's possible to consume one without making a face. No one has had success yet. How did they pass testing trials?!

Absolutely disgusting taste, 5 of us tried it and spat it out. This should be discontinued immediately.

I gave these to the grandkids and try had them in their juice. They didn't seem to notice the difference in taste or mind it and it seemed to help ward off a cold.

Not a great taste , bit pricey

They were ok , not sure of flavour , very pricey , compared to other vitamins

My kids do not like the taste at all! They won't take anymore.

Individual packs hard to open properly and a very strong taste...not pleasant.

Not nice at all. Shared them with parents at my daycare, no positive feedback. Sorry

Nice flavour. Children liked them

My son nearly vomited with the taste. I tried them a couple of times and they were pretty unpalatable.

Easy-to-use on the go

The taste was not good at all, nun of my 6 kids liked it unfortunately. We will stick with chewable or tablets.

My daughter likes the flavour of it.

Kids didn't like it and wouldn't take it

Terrible. Take awful and smelt like pee. Not like at all.

Kids gave it a thumbs up!

Tasted terrible.

Good product

Good idea for ease of use

half a star. brilliant idea if it was palatable, but wasnt even able to hide it in juice

Good idea, bad taste. Not much different from the adult version.

Was not nice straight or mixed. My son would not touch it.

Kids didn’t really like it

I tried it straight, and it was not very pleasant. The kids refused to have it again, no matter what it was paired with.

I tried it straight and it was not a nice flavour at all. Good idea but I can't imagine trying to get my child to drink this.

Not palatable at all. Great idea bad taste

Unfortunately we tried this straight from the packet was not the best. Diluted was palatable but has a metallic taste that I could not get past would not recommend.

Kids didn't like the taste in any form.

Awful taste no matter what or was diluted with. Kids outright refused to Take it.

Tried with water, juice and finally in a smoothie. Information does not suggest a smoothie but for the benefits to gain from the Vitamin C we got creative. Did have a blackberry taste but a very harsh something else we couldn't identify. When mixed with water became exceptionally unpleasant, almost like a weird metallic influence. Just outright gross. Aftertaste takes a while to leave, even after consuming another glass of water.

Tasted terrible, even when diluted with water. Kids wouldn't touch them.

Tasted awful

Terrible taste, kids could not stand it. I tried, and neither could I (we did dilute in water)

Revolting! Would not recommend!

Down right awful! Made both me and my child want to vomit. I'm pleased I didn't have to purchase this product to find it completely unpalatable I wish there was a zero star rating

Mixed with Refresh BlackCurrent was very nice.

The kids did not like the taste of these.

Just awful.

Taste was just way too strong and put the kids off even touching it again

Great idea however my children didn't like the flavour

My daughter would not take it because it tasted disgusting. I tried it and agreed it tastes bad. I do not think mixing with a sweet drink would improve the flavour at all.

Tasted revolting

I have tried several of the Lipo vitamin C sachets, and these are by far the best tasting. They don’t taste amazing, but they are readily absorbed and high in vitamin C. Unfortunately taste is the price you pay for the benefits, and the benefits far outweigh the taste.

Flavour was really terrible, none of the kids would drink it.

Kids didnt want it as flavour was too off putting

Unfortunately we couldn’t take these. Not a nice flavour or aftertaste.

We hated the flavour, sadly.

Easy to consume pouches.

horrible gunk - just foul slim yuck

The taste was not liked when mixed with water.

Terrible flavour

It tasted terrible, my 7yr old did not like it even with water or juice, so I tried it and I found it difficult to take, especially without any water or juice.

I didn't mind the taste. On its own or with a smoothie were both fine.

we didnt like the taste but it was okay when mixed in with another drink ie smoothie

My 3 kids tried these and it was a big no from them all unfortunately! A pity because of the health benefits

We looked forward to trying these as I always give my children vitamin C during thr cold winter months

Good product! Kids enjoy getting in some extra vitamins, something different! Definitely suggest mixing it into food/drink for sensitive/picky taste buds

My grandkids took these no complaints

I like the idea of the sachets and how convenient they are, but the taste is very overpowering and yuck.

Sorry but no stars from me, well 1 as that’s the only option. No one liked the taste in our house.

Hope they work because I wasn't taking them for the flavour.

Hope these are working because I'm NOT taking them for the flavour. Found it did not mix well with water.

Kids did not like the flavor of these

No stars from me! Pretty sure nobody taste tested these before releasing to the public. Absolutely gross

Great product

Revolting. Kids spat it out and refused to try again.

They tasted so awful

Kids did not like these.

Kids hated taste

Would use if in the cupboard but we don't have young children so wouldn't specifically search out.

Adults ended up using them, tried on the teens but they were not keen. Taste is ok, but I can see kids not being very excited to drink it

Nice flavour and easy to drink

Pricy and had problem getting grand daughter to take as she didn’t like the taste. Solved with an after drink. During her stay it did appear to be easing her cold.

Lots of packaging but that is also why they are convenient.

Yet to trial on grandkids in school holidays.

Wouldn't recommend, not a very tasty way to get vitamin C into kids

Kids did not like taste

Good flavour and easy to drink. Effective.

Horrible taste. A shame you cannot retain the taste profile of the natural product. We shouldn’t need to mask the product flavour to digest and get the health benefits.

Love them

Definitely not a fan of the taste of these, or the excessive packaging. Tasted very oily and strong.

Kids didn’t like the taste of this at all.

Did not like the flavour

Not my cup of tea but the grand children love the sachets.

Would be more interested if it was a multivitamin rather than just vitamin C

Nice taste

my son does not lilke the taste

Not a fan of the single serves, even though it is convenient.

Left a nasty taste.

Like any vitamin sachet they taste pretty awful but If you mix it with water, or juice then the children have them fine

Unfortunately none of my kids liked the taste, it wasn’t that appealing when I tried it either, very chemically

Unfortunately the taste is too strong and lingering and no one could handle it even when mixed.

really bad taste not appealing at all

Strong after taste.

Tasted bad no matter how we prepared it

I really didn't like the flavour at all and would not try again, my husband liked it and has been taking daily.

None of my three kids or husband liked the taste of these, even watered down

Kids hated them . Strong and yucky.

Love the individual serving and design of them

We did not enjoy these, the flavour was almost bitter and not what we expected. We tried them straight abd mixed with water.

Can I give it zero stars? These taste horrific. I thought we may have had an out-of-date batch but nope, they’re just yuck.

Tastes terrible, 2 kids couldn't handle it, I gave it a go and was definitely not a fan.

Tastes revolting!

Kids wouldn't drink it.

Very strong taste

Great idea but the kids wouldn't drink it. They tried it both in water and alone but no one wanted to finish it.

Terrible taste very strong

Flavour and smell not pleasant at all. Tried with water and by itself and none of us wanted to finish it. Is the Blackcurrant flavour TOO strong? Others saying Orange is better so we will try that next time as the intention is good.

Tried on kids, didnt like the taste or texture

Might be ok mixed with other liquids, but the taste straight from the packet was not nice.

gave to 6yr grandaughter tasted and smelled gross

Tested on 3 generations, myself, my kids and older grandkids who all happened to be visiting. Unanimously decided texture and taste was unpalatable. Packaging is pretty though. Youngest daughter formerly worked at local unichem. We got to try the orange ones which are much nicer.

No young kids to try it on.

Did not taste good. Kids did not like it.

Handy packaging, not a bad flavour. No kids here to try it out on

They had a funny taste to them and too expensive for me

Good way to get regular vitamin C

Great flavour

Taste was not enjoyable.

My grandson did not like it

My teens were not impressed with the flavour.

Not tasty for adults let alone children, really horrible I'm sorry

I need this for adults, surely its fine to take. Glad to see a flavour other than orange, but it IS a bit strong. Easy to pop into a shake but effort haha.

Great idea. However the flavour is not kid friendly.

The kids were not a big fan. The taste was too strong.

Both of my boys tried it, even with juice it had an awful taste, almost reminded us of medicine. One of my boys did not want to try it again, even trying to mask it in juice.

These didn't taste nice unfortunately. Nobody liked them

Flavour isn’t the best and leaves a after taste

Great idea but the kids hated them!

Awful flavour, neither the kids or adults in the house were willing to consume them

Has a savoury flavour

Grandkids found the flavour too intense, even with water

As people have previously said' flavour too intense, couldn’t get the kids to try again.

Flavour way too intense; non-diluted left me with sore throat.

Kids tried them, firstly straight on the tongue (yuk), then with juice as it says on box (still yuk) and finally with lots of water and we had to encourage them to finish it as it was YUKKY in their words. So will not spend the money on this until the taste improves

taste was really bad we all tried them including friends and no one liked it at all

Great idea but the taste was really bad, unfortunately couldn’t convince anyone else to have a second try.

Like the idea of them but flavor is horrible

Would prefer a range of flavours

My child was not a fan of the flavour, I tried it too, and didn’t like it either.

had the grandkids do a taste test. Straight out of the packet and with a small amount of water. NO! Don't like the taste either way. So I tried them and don't like it either. And the taste lingers.

Not good, tastes yuk, kids would not entertain it

The taste was so bad I couldn’t give them away.

Kids like it. Easy to take

Taste needs improving.

While I'm sure these at very good for kids, getting them to take them willingly may be a struggle with the current taste.

I don't recommend these, they taste disgusting.I shared them with some neighbors to see if it was just me but, their kids couldn't stand the taste either.

Didn’t taste nice

Taste could be better

Easy to use

Not very nice tasting

The blackcurrant taste was a no from me but my partner seemed to like it more than the normal one we get usually.

Yuck. I was so grossed out by the taste that I sapt it out in the sink, tried mixing the remainder in apple juice but it still gave me a horrible after taste. I truly cant imagine any child would want to have this. Is there a zero rating?

Kids couldn't stand it.

Tried it straight and with water. Not a go for me or my kid

My kids didn't even know it was in there youghurt so no complaints from them.

My kids didn't even know it was in there youghurt si no complaints from them.

My kids hated the taste.

Revolting taste.

Friends kids seemed to enjoy them

Tastes vile. I wouldn't take it and nor would my granddaughter.

I tried it before giving to my Grandson, the taste was not nice, and he wouldn't try it.

Tasted disgusting. My kids said they would rather get sick that have to take this.

I don't have children so didn't try this, gave it to a neighbour.

Kids didnt like the flavour and the packets cut their lips when trying to take it out of the packet. Wouldnt use it again.

Good benefits for kids, they hated the taste though.

Good for immunity

Disgusting, cannot get any worse, you couldn’t pay me to put this in my supermarket trolley

If I could give less than one star I would. All kids couldn’t stand it so I tried it and it made me gag. Terrible taste. Would not buy or recommend.

My kids loved the flavour.

My youngest looked like they were having some kind of seizures they thought it was that awful. The middle children decided that spitting it out and almost vomiting was the more grown up way to go - i tried it and suggested to my husband to put it in with the vodka!!

Kids did not like this.

My child did not like the taste or texture of this at all. I tried it and have to agree

The product dissolved well. Not a fab flavour

My 9yr old son love the taste. He doesn’t have complain at all.

Unfortunately my kids did not like the taste which is frustrating as it’s a superior vitamin c to others but kids always win when it comes to taste unfortunately

3/4 of my kids hated the taste.

I'm not sure how this product made it to market, my kids were both disgusted by it.

My daughter couldn't get past the taste

They just taste awful! In my daughter's words "they taste like armpits".

The kids didn’t like the taste….. too salty.

Kids definitely didn't like these at all.Taste just wasn't the best.

Kids didn’t like the taste

Single serve is easy, kids not overly fussed on them

Taste was a little gross, kids didn't like them

Tastes absolutely horrible. Not a hint of blackcurrant to be found Whilst I like the convenience of the single sachets, it is incredibly wasteful

After reading so many bad reviews about this product, I was shocked. I have been buying this for the kids for years and absolutely love this product. One daughter doesn’t like the taste so I mix it up with a little bit of juice and the other daughter doesn’t mind the flavour and mixes it with water.

I was looking forward to trying these but the taste was not pleasant. Shared some with work colleagues who have young children and their children did not like them either. The aftertaste lingered and I would not recommend or buy.

Taste bad, not a fan

Yuck...just yuck! None of us enjoyed the experience of trying these!

These were horrid! Would never buy these, my daughter almost vomited in the sink after trying this.

Not convinced this product is needed by anyone. My kids love to eat Vit C pills, which taste great with the citric acid. Same benefits of Vit C pills but in a product that has been repackaged and not well. Not a fan of all the packaging.

Concerned with the wasteful packaging. Just bottle it. On its own not nice but mix with yoghurt was fine.

Flavour was bad, price on thus page is misleading. They were far more where I saw them

Was not a nice taste.

Not nice to ingest at all. We all gagged and ran for a drink to wash taste away

Both my kids gagged when they tried these

Tasted terrible for kids, the after taste was bad

Tasted terrible for kids

Disgusting!

I liked the taste. I didn't have any children handy to try it on but can't imagine they would like it as it has a strong flavour reminiscent of cough medicine from my childhood, which I loved the taste of.

Tried to give it to three age groups."foul"

Unfortunately both my children found the taste very strong and over powering. We tried it straight and mixed but nothing seem to sway their idea to keep trying them.

Neither my 12 year old son or 7 year old nephew wanted to swallow these. We tried straight out of the sachet and also mixed with some water. They taste Is really unpleasant

Taste was terrible

I can't think what taste worse 1960/70s cough medicine or these sachets of vit c the only way they would get consumed is putting them into maybe a strong flavoured berry type yoghurt or icecream, otherwise I think you would find it hard to get the kids to have it especially when us adults think it tastes bad. The only thing going for it is how quickly it gets absorbed I think it would be easier to put a few frozen blackcurrents onto the kids cereal or give them some orange segments to eat.

Didn't like it at all.

Kids hated it, they'd much rather have a vitamin c tablet.

The taste is really off putting, my toddler and I couldn't finish a mouthful. You could probably disguise it in a smoothie, but I wouldn't bother to do that everyday.

Tastes foul, almost meaty.

This product would be very beneficial to your health, but the taste put us off using it.

Honestly the flavour is awful. Believe children are much better off with 100 percent pure orange juice. My Kids would never take this.

Smells like rotten eggs mixed with cat pee. Couldn’t get the kids anywhere near it, even watered down. I don’t know where they get the blackcurrant flavour from because it’s far from anything pleasant. Don’t waste your money.

Kids took it in water, not overly impressed, in fact left some, which is unusual. Might suit little ones in need, but with healthy kids already, not a buy for me

Unfortunately my kids did not like the taste of this product

Tasty and very handy to consume. Kids will love it.

Vitamin c loved that it was in a individual packs but that was about don't how you would get kids to drink this a really bad after taste

Bad after taste that lingers.

This product was not for me didn't like the after taste

This product has a powerfully bad flavour. The taste is somewhat meaty and oily, and leaves a distinctly unpleasant aftertaste. Awful. I would never purchase these.

Kids didn't like the flavour - tried them straight and in water.

Our kids did not like the taste and I did not either, left a horrid taste in your mouth

Not so great. Kids couldn't stand the flavour.

Tastes NASTY! The kids tried them and loathed them. I tried them and thought they were vile! We tried diluting them in cold water, which slightly improved them but you still were left with an unpleasant aftertaste, and when diluted the water looks cloudy and unappetising, like muddy water. I think I would have to hold my children down to get them to take this. Fruit and vege are a much easier and more environmental way of giving them vitamin C (and they'll eat those without a fight).

We usually buy the orange flavoured ones, which are ok, but the kids preferred the taste of these ones a lot more.

The taste was gross !

Kids did not like. We tried them by themself, mixed with juice, in smoothies, in ice block.

I like the idea but the taste was awful

Great idea

Easy to use.

It tasted horrible.

Tasted gross!!

2 out of 3 kids didn’t like the taste. Oldest child really likes them.

Great sounding health benefits

Kids loved being able to have the same as mum and dad.

Kids loved the flavour, made it easy

Not tasty

Didn't like the taste

Good product

my child took it straight from the sachet and chased with some water, he said it didnt taste very nice but I understand the benefits as his whole class is currently sick so will keep at it!

Awful flavour. Would not use. Too expensive

Not bad, my kids liked it watered down

Kids didn’t like the taste unless mixed with juice but does have some good health benefits

Appalling taste!

We received the Lipo-Sachets for Kids. My 7 yo son's first comment was "It taste bad", but he accepts the taste and packs a sachet in his school lunchbox everyday.

Would not give it to anyone - disgusting

Beyond disgusting

kids did not like this at all

Gross as can't see my kids taking it

My grandkids would not take this after the first taste and wanted to spit it out.

These tasted disgusting - not a fan and won't be buying again. No instruction on the box on how they are best taken or if in fact they were a gel or powder.

Not nice at all.

Not a fan. Absolutely horrid taste.

OK taste

These don't taste the best - but, they work. Unlike most on the market.

Terrible taste

Not a fan. My kids don’t enjoy the flavour or texture.

Awful. Took them to Kapa practice and it became a dare. Anyone new that walked through the door had to shot one without gagging

These are horrible unfortunately! I tried one first and was excited they were something other than orange flavoured but I nearly gagged trying to swallow it - even with water added. They smell and the aftertaste is awful.

6 year old isn’t a fan of the taste but my 3 year old thinks it’s juice and drinks it

Very nice

Kids weren't a fan at first but mixed it with a little bit of water and it worked a treat

Not a pleasant taste, particularly the lingering after taste

Tasted funny according to my son. He's not a fan

Tried them, but did not like them. The initial taste was not nice but the aftertaste left in the mouth was hard to get rid of. Cannot imagine being able to get the kids to even try them.

Child refused any more after one sip. Said taste was gross and texture was like mucous (he said snot). So I thought I’d have a go….and he was mostly right. Let’s face it, vitamin c tablets are yum! These are not. The packaging is just more landfill too. All in all, a fail. Might be better off putting the goop in a swallowable capsule and selling by the jar?

Sorry not only did it smell bad but the taste was horrible

Sooo gross I wouldn't even drink it let alone my kids.

Terrible can't even give them one. We tried them and they were so bad even after several lollies taste was still there. Just terrible nothing to like yuck.

Didn’t like the taste and kids didn’t like it either

Even though they are handy, the taste is not for us. Neither the kids nor the adults liked the after taste, even when diluted with water

My husband and I first started getting liposachets when a colleague recommended them. For a long time I used to mix them in a hot tea with lemon and honey, I'm not sure if that was very effective though. Now, just taking them like a shot, is optimal and I can feel the health!

My husband and I first started getting liposachets when a colleague recommended them. Sure enough, as soon as you start getting sick, or if you are sick, you take a sachet and feel instantly better. Sure, they don't taste great. For a long time I used to mix them in a hot tea with lemon and honey, I'm not sure if that was very effective though. Now, just taking them like a shot, is optimal and I can feel the health!

Yucky! Tried by kids and adults and no one liked. With water or straight wasn’t nice. No one will try a third time.

Three adult testers in the house and nobody like the taste. I didn't think it tasted at all like blackcurrant.

No go for the kids. They were quite awful for adults so kids reactions were pretty bad.

I tried this on various unsuspecting subjects both adults and children, and unfortunately it was a resounding NO, they are really very very bad. I tried mixing it with water and with ice to see if that would help things, I only wish I had a camera at hand for the facial expressions. I honestly don't know how or who formulated them and thought it would work. We have the blackcurrent and they are terrible, sorry.

Kids not a fan of these. I gave one a try and the after taste is the worst.

My kids tried one sachet and then refused to have any more. I thought they were being fussy so I tried one, they were not very nice. Blackcurrant flavour maybe would have been nicer?

Ughh. These are absolutely horrid, my child had one and promptly threw up, there’s no possible way she will ever try another one again. I tried one to see how it could be so bad… never again!!! Definitely would not buy.

I was given a free sample of the adult version of these from the chemist, and couldn't stand the taste. I'd hoped the kids ones would be more palatable. Definitely not!! Would not buy and I don't understand how children would happily take these.
