Spray vitamin flavours

Hi - just had a meeting with dietician for our 17yr DS with ARFID.
She’s keen to get him taking more nutrients and suggested spray vitamins, but understood that he might not like the taste.
Has anyone got a good recommendation for as many vitamins in one spray as possible - that actually has a nice /neutral taste?
I think it’s highly unlikely he’ll take them but she said they are really efficiently absorbed and work very quickly.

I use the BetterYou spray vitamins that you can get in Holland and Barrat and supermarkets. The flavours vary according to the supplement, they are very pleasant. I know the Vit D is mildly minty, the B12 is fruity/peachy, the Iron is not as sweet its slightly metallic/earthy. Maybe some other people might have tried others.

My ds(3) likes the vegan spray from better health and the iron spray. He hates the minty ones (vit d).

Thanks both - I’ll suggest the idea to him but thinking it’ll be a no.
