Thanks for the honest feedback! While we don't offer another scent for the postnatal at the moment, we'll be sure to forward your interest in a citrus version.

While we don't offer the postnatal with a citrus scented insert at the moment, we'll be sure to share your feedback! That said, if you haven't already, try taking the vitamins just before bed to see if that helps with the taste of the vegan algal oil.
