Youngevity Beyond Osteo FX - Tropical Vanilla | Healthy Bone Support | Multi-Vitamin Powder | 30 Servings (1 Canister)

Tastes great and strengthens my bones!

I have used a couple of their products and they really deliver.

I love the Longevity line and have used many of their products. I used the liquid version of this in the past and did not like the flavor or the fact that it separates so even with shaking it prior to each use, I found quite a lot of product hardened on the bottom of the container. The powder is a much better option and the improved taste is noticeable. Wish they would make it flavorless or a fruit flavor since I mix it with juice. Vanilla is not a flavor I like in my juice. But it works and I trust it. I will reorder the powdered form.

I love the taste of vanilla, though it's admittedly quite expensive. I've been taking Youngevity Tangy Tangerine 2.5 alongside it, and together they create a nutritional powerhouse for the body - with Osteo supporting bones and joints and the multivitamin boosting overall health. To simplify my routine, I blend both into one delicious smoothie. I highly recommend it, especially since I regularly visit a chiropractor for back pain and have noticed significantly reduced discomfort since starting this regimen. This is the only highest quality I can find in Youngevity, including the multivitamin powder. Pro Tip: Always blend with a blender rather than simply stirring with a spoon. Your supplement will not dissolve effectively with a simple spoon stirring.

I'm a big fan of the liquid nutritional products from Dr. Wallach. I've been taking them for 30+ years, although not at the full recommended dose,yet at 62 I have no health complaints. No joint pain. No gray hair, excellent eyesight although I am having to use glasses to read fine print or regular print under low light conditions. I have no need for a doctor, nor desire one. I usually take the liquid forms of the Plant Derived Minerals and Ultimate Tangy Tangerine, so trying the powdered forms is an experiment to get away from the messy/leaky bottle issue and also to be able to take my supplements on aircraft without any "liquids" hassle. So far, the Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 is working out OK, although the funky flavor took a little getting used to. I'd describe it as several individual flavors that don't go together well, compared to the liquid form. I then decided to try the Beyond Osteo-fx powder since Dr. Wallach now recommends it in the Healthy Start Pack. I like the flavor, but it doesn't dissolve very readily. With the Beyond Tangy Tangerine, I simply add it to a liter Nalgene bottle of reverse osmosis water and it easily dissolves with a shake or two. The Osteo-fx, however, clumps up, resists vigorous shaking and leaves saturated lumps floating in the bottle that go down like a whole clam would. I now put the powder in a glass with an ounce of water, stir it into a paste with a spoon and then add the rest of the water. It's sticky though and needs some scraping to free a lot of it from the bottom of the glass. So next time around I'll try the liquid form of Osteo-fx. It also has some large grains to it, like large sand grains that are crunchy and settle out of solution so fast it's hard to keep them suspended in water long enough to get them to come out of the bottom of the glass or bottle. Since I just started taking Osteo-fx, I can't really claim any health results yet, but the hassle of using the powder made me want to alert others who might want to avoid all the monkeying around and just get the liquid form.

Been taking it for years. Bone strength is a must as we get older.

Good stuff

I read many comments about how terrible the flavor was before purchasing this product, but figured I could hold my nose to drink it if it was that bad. To my surprise, it's the tropical vanilla flavoring that's the problem, not the product per se. While not pleasant, it's tolerable when added to another beverage. I put a quarter cup half & half in a small jar with powder, shake it, then add water to fill and shake again. Tastes like a creamy pina colada. Half & half makes it creamy and mutes the strong flavor. For anyone still struggling with the taste, give this a try. I haven't experienced any benefit of taking the product yet, but I've only been consistent for a week. Time will tell. UPDATE ~ December 2018 I think the product was helping, but after a couple weeks I started to dread taking it because of the taste. Even when I could drink it, the unpleasantness lasted for a couple hours, which lead to me not taking it anymore. I don't know why the company insists on putting such a strong and unpleasant flavor in this supplement, or why it doesn't at least offer an unflavored option, too. This product came highly recommended for my musculoskeletal needs, and I would like to use it, but I literally can't stomach it any more.
