Centrum Flavor Burst Review

Another review for the wonderful Smiley360 website, this time for Centrum Flavor Burst vitamins. As usual, although I was provided this product for free, this is my own opinion.



I'm definitely not a vitamin person. I have to take quite a bit of pills for medical reasons, and I just couldn't stand taking more. I also have a problem where pills sometimes get stuck in my throat and I have a hard time with that. However, I also want to keep healthy and I know one of the best ways to get my daily intake is to take a multi-vitamin. So when I heard about Centrum Flavor Burst chews, I was pretty excited to try it.

The flavor is actually really good. I have to say I was expecting it to be chalky and not that great, kind of like how chewable vitamins were when I was a kid. Not these. They reminded me of a grape gumball and didn't have any chalky texture or bad aftertaste, which was great.

A serving size is 4 chews (they are not sugar free), and here is a nutritional breakdown:



 Calories: 25
Total Carbs: 6g
Vitamin A- 2,000 IU
Vitamin C- 60mg
Vitamin D- 800 IU
Vitamin E- 40 IU
Vitamin B6 : 2 mg
Folic Acid- 400 mcg
Vitamin B-12: 10 mcg
Biotin: 150mcg
Pantothenic Acid: 10 mg
Iodine - 80 mcg
Zinc- 5 mg

There is a downside to these however.  As I mentioned, 4 of these equal one serving. I've checked prices in various areas and found them to be anywhere from $9.00 to $10. Here, it's about $9.50. That's about 10 cents a chew, so 40 cents for a serving. Compare that to most Centrum brand vitamins which are about 11 cents a pill, and you only take one of those. So if you are trying to be more cost efficient, you are better getting a standard multivitamin. They do contain 4 grams of sugar which aren't the best if you are on a low carb or sugar diet.  Also, these contain soy, so avoid these if you have a soy allergy.

A big thing that bothered me, however, is that the Centrum Adults Under 50 has substantially more nutrients in it. Here's a little side by side comparison:


Final verdict: Centrum Flavor Burst are great if you have problems with swallowing pills or if just having a chewable one appeals to you. But you will be paying for the convenience, and you won't be getting as much as a standard multivitamin. However, they do taste great, so it's up to you to see what fits you better. If you do decide to try them, grab this $2.00 off coupon.

As always, feel free to leave a comment about this review and let me know if you've tried it and what your experience is!

ASMR - Tingles Everywhere

I have a lot of problems with my anxiety that gets so bad that I can't even leave the house. It also disrupts my sleep and I get pretty sleep deprived. I take enough pills already, and I didn't want to tack an addictive sleeping pill on top of everything. But I finally found something that actually relaxes me enough that I can finally get some very much needed shuteye. ASMR videos. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. ASMR Research & Support defines it as "a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs." These tingling sensations are triggered by either an internal trigger (from specific thought patterns) or external ones. External triggers can include things like whispering or unique speech patters, watching educational/instructive videos, sounds like scratching, tapping or paper crinkling, close attention from another person (like e...

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1...

BzzAgent Review: Kashi Hummus Crisps

Another review for the amazing BzzAgent website for Kashi Hummus Crisps . As always, although I was provided this product for free, this is my own opinion. I was really excited to be able to try this. I am a HUGE hummus fan. I really can't get enough of the stuff. So when BzzAgent sent me an e-mail about the campaign, I jumped at a chance to participate. As always, some information about the product first. Kashi Hummus Crisps are air-poppped chickpea crisps that are made without partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial anything. They have at least 5g of whole grain, 3g of fiber and 3g of protein. What is even more fantastic is that the serving size is 27 chips! And only 120 calories for that 27! Can you believe it? Compare that to most chips out there (I'm looking at YOU, Doritos!) that only have a serving size of 11 chips for more calories! So it's an all around healthy snack. The Kashi Hummus Crisps that I got were the Sea S...
