Went beyond what I *expected* and met what I HOPED for!!!
I decided to try this mainly because of other reviews-- people felt great and the only complaint was about the taste. Well in a nation where people are used to donuts for breakfast and fast food for lunch-- I really took the bad taste mentions with a grain of salt--the healthy living people know better that it's not going to be a Snicker's bar, nor will it be some fast food shake-any of these powders will be pretty far from that, but LIKEWISE, instead of giving you food coma and Constipation as their after effect (even if they drop some dopamine in the system and give a "high") they are going to make you feel GREAT. I figured that even if I didn't feel much different with these powders, at least it would be a good health thing to put in my body. Additionally it'd be good to look up an alkaline diet and alkalizing your blood and why having acidic blood is so bad for your system. Things like coffee and alcohol acidify the blood and things like lemons, even though they are acidic on the outside, once they get in your body they alkalize the blood and are so great for you! So for years now I have had issues with health that I've just wanted to feel like myself again. Now I'm not feeling quite as bouncy as I did in high school but I can't remember feeling this good fairly consistently in quite a while. I generally don't drink caffeine and when I have I don't feel much effect anyhow so I really don't think it's the caffeine in here giving me the boost- I think it's the contents. I am doing an internship now and the first several days of it I was ready to fall asleep much of the day, feeling sluggish like I wasn't getting enough oxygen, and even if I'd just have a salad for lunch and nothing heavy I'd still get sleepy after lunch and then and in general I would feel like most days took an effort like trying to trudge through a pool of jello-- so I'm not buzzing around bouncing off the walls, but it's a calm and peaceful kind of energy, I don't have to struggle to stay awake and I don't have the heavy drowsy feeling like something is stepping on me. And I have noticed, on the days I haven't taken it (more likely when I'm not going in for internship) I do notice a difference, even though most days I still feel better than I did before I started taking it. It came in the mail a bit into the internship and I'd say I've taken it maybe 7 times in the last 2 weeks or so. Don't mean to be dramatic but it really does feel like a bit of a miracle. I was hoping and hoping and hoping I'd somehow someway find something to help me feel better, and I really feel good about this! As for the taste-- I just put it in a smoothie, that "suspends" the grittiness etc and so I don't notice it much, don't taste it much, it's not as hard to take down. Years ago there was some diet in one of those health magazines and it was to alkalize the body. Not only were you supposed to drink baking soda in water which made me gag, there was some kind of green powder back then that also was almost unbearable so what good is some wonderful diet if your issue is not "I'm hungry" but "omg I can't even get this down" so.....man.....this is just so much better and SOoOOoOo worth the price. I believe in "you either pay the doctors or you pay the farmer" and so not only that, but I'd rather spent time outside on a farm than in a hospital, I'm about prevention over having to fix a problem once it's already in progress. Oh another note before I forget, I've been putting it in hemp shakes along with hemp protein and fiber. I next have ordered the meal from this same company and we'll see how that goes-- It's not DELICIOUS but it's more than bearable and even my mom thinks it's decent and she's pickier about health food than I am-- with the hemp shakes she says they remind her of halva a little bit--so I put this powder usually in the vanilla one or maybe the berry, the chocolate is pushing the limits of tastiness with this flavor grass powder-- So in conclusion-- THIS IS GREAT and unless you don't care about taste or texture, PUT IT IN A SMOOTHIE!!!! I don't see any reason to put it in just water or juice unless you REALLY LIKE THAT but try it first in the way you're more likely to have a GOOD experience instead of initially having a yucky experience and thus giving yourself an aversion to it.... I hope you have as wonderful of an experience as I have!!
