I took Natrol powdered Ester C, about 14grams in a single morning dose, daily, for over 10 years. Often I would mix it with juice, but on those mornings when rushed, I'd just mix it in water and gulp. Granted, the taste was nothing to write home about, but, like a lot of things in life, after 10 years of a given routine, (3650- plus mornings ;), it got to the point where I no longer really paid much attention to the taste.
