Metallic taste: You should try a different brand as some lower quality vitamins and supplements(like magnesium citrate) can contain contaminants.

Metallic taste: Please discuss the need for supplements with your physician. Imbalance can cause harm. Also have your Dentist check your gums as metallic taste is an indicator of inflamed gum tissues.
