I am new here I am looking for B2 liquid, chewable, gummy or something a 6 year old can take for her mitochondrial myopathy.  The compounding pharmacy tried to make a liquid but it looked like liquid thick paint and it was disgusting.  She has to take this twice a day the rest of her life.  Does anyone have an answer.  I surf the net all day.  Please advise.

I recently found Vit. B1 and B2 in a powder form that does not really have too much taste at all. The amount to mix in a drink is very small(about 1/8 tsp.) I found it at Life Extension; www.lef.org I believe is the website.

Before our son (age 7) learned to swallow a pill we bought the B-2 capsules and opened them up and mixed it in either a strong juice, applesauce, pudding, or yogurt.  I tried it myself and could not taste any after taste.  I hope that helps.
