Multivitamins and cold supplements with heavy metals such as zinc, copper, and chromium can elicit a metallic taste, as can iron, calcium, and prenatal supplements. As the body processes the vitamins, the taste usually subsides. If not, consider reducing the dosage to avoid excessive consumption. Beware of low-quality supplements that may contain heavy metal contaminants such as arsenic, lead, or mercury.
