Horrible taste. Anyone cover this taste up successfully ? And why on earth would we need arsenic? Arsenic is listed as one of the minerals?

Mrs. Lewis, I recommend you view 1 or more of Dr. Joel Wallach's youtube videos for these and any more concerns you might need clarity. For the benefits, I have overlooked taste...however, you could add apple or your favorite fruit juice to mask it without a problem.

I mix it with a few ounces of V-8 juice. I make my own from the garden each year but store bought should work. I've also mixed it into my green smoothies.

This is an excellent product, but because it is a concentrated humic shale vegetation, by itself, it tastes nasty. However, if you mix it with orange juice and/or a liquid supplement there is no after taste at all. As for the arsenic, there are two types; the first is inorganic mined ore which is highly poisonous. Second, is the organic type found in plants, sea food, etc, and found in this trace mineral product. Since the plants and sea food have converted arsenic into an absorbable form it is completely safe for humans to consume, and is actually a necessary trace mineral for joint and tendon health. Hope that helps. This is an excellent product, but because it is a concentrated humic shale vegetation, by itself, it tastes nasty.

Here's an uneducated answer from what I know about Dr Wallach and his methods. Regarding the arsenic question, it is necessary to consume the full spectrum of minerals for healing & health. The amount of these minerals is so very small there is no concern about poisoning. He believes that all of minerals work together with great synergy to accomplish great health. Regarding the taste, you just need to mix it with his Tangy Tangerine or juice to mask the taste. These are high quality products but plant based minerals just naturally taste bitter by themselves. Keep taking supplements. Don't give up. Here's an uneducated answer from what I know about Dr Wallach and his methods.

You poor 1 to 2 capfuls in a glass of juice. As for the arsenic ingredient, arsenic comes in many different forms and it's not always poisonous for you. It states right on the bottle that the taste is not good and that you should mix it in juice. This is an excellent product I use it for my joints and I also it also helps my bone spur on the bottom of my foot.

I have no idea about arsenic in this dog food. Contact the company at http://www.bluebuffalo.com/

It tastes like rotten egg farts to be honest. So, not pleasant. All of the brands I've tried have this taste. You have to hold your nose and wash it down with water.

It's tasteless. A word of warning, only take it with magnesium and/or a swig of cranberry juice. It's extremely alkalizing whichcan give you kidney stones or Gout. It's hard on the kidneys because it's so alkaline. It's also very constipating so the Magnesium will help balance that out. Only take 1-2 drops a day.

My last 2 orders tasted terrible, too. That's 960 bags of bad tea. I abandoned the brand after 20 years and switched to Yorkshire Gold. The stuff PG Tips is currently selling inside the US is not the same as the UK blend, and it tastes about as bad as any US grocery store brand.

I had the Rocky Road because someone said it was one of the best tasting ones, but I have to disagree. I haven't tried any others so I'm not sure if they all have the same artificial taste. It's like the artificial sweeteners taste that I can't stand. I'm not a fan at all!!

I have never heard my husband complain....or even notice an unusual taste. Out of curiosity, after seeing your question, I tasted a bit from the package (I HAD to know!). It had no taste.

I have no idea. If you have reason to suspect that there is arsenic in Japonica rice, you could contract with any independent testing laboratory for their analysis. If by any chance they report any, I would be interested in those results.

Added to hot water or other liquid it dissolves quickly, but if you microwave it it is horrible. I think when you nuke it it changed the molecular structure. But that aside.... The stuff is horrible tasting !!! It ruins the flavor of every thing you put it in. Worse than dry powdered milk! Awful!!

Lisa-there was a reviewer on this that said no TASTE or smell....not to be crude, but I will probably do a " taste test" myself to find out for sure. Would be embarrassing if partner had horrid taste...

Yes. But they were rated the highest in arsenic by Consumer Reports. I stopped buying them.

NASSSSSSSSTY. It dont seem like you can put this in anything and get a taste that anyone would like. I would not give it to my child anymore, he said it burned his insides, this is very strong.

I believe it used to contain a small amount of arsenic, but has since changed its formula to omit it. I found that somewhere on the internet when I did my research before buying.

Sorry, I can't relate to having bad tasting water, I only had one shipment, & it was fine. Maybe talk to Dr. if they put you on it? Sometimes, when we are taking care of our health issues going on, for me, my taste buds, can change. I've tried other brands of ph 9+ water, & they all taste the same. Maybe try to drink it cold? Hope it helps a little. Good luck!

This is just not flavored. I mixed it with plain water the first time and it's disgusting! I cannot get the taste of it out of my mind now!

Put it in something. I never even thought to eat a spoonful of it. I am guessing from your question it tastes bad... LOL
