Since I started buying those bulk powders that are all the rage, I
have been driven to "taste" those supps that used to be in a pill. I
also tasted others for the hell of it.
My votes:
Nice tasting: l-theanine, inositol (tastes like sugar),
errrrrr...that's it! maybe DMG? l-phenylalanine is not too bad, not
great though. Creatine, very powdery but not unpleasant. MSM. Alpha
GPC is quite mild from what I've tried...SAMe smells very weird but is
not unpleasant,
Bearable, but weird/unpleasant:
vitamin C,
piracetam,
phenibut (yes!, the "zesty" taste is not the worst there is!), B5,
liquid lecithin (try it cold) granules which taste better,
hydergine (chewed pill, irritates gums/tongue), vinpocetine (pill),
dmae (stings a lot), alcar also, idebenone is pretty tasteless but not
unpleasant/pleasant,
pyritinol, chocamine (but it's ok with some honey to wash it down).
Atrocious/unbearable: green tea strong 95:1 extract (made me buy
capping equipment), gingko strong 50:1 extract (possibly the worst,
tastes like extremely bad halitosis), zinc, r-ala, (seems to stay
glued to and burn through your tongue forever!), centrophenoxine
(burns a lot),
Those I wouldn't/didn't try: vitamin B complex (yuck! just the smell),
most herbs, curcumin, ...
