Ok this is an issue I see brought up all the time here on he forums. "Man this _______ powder is rancid/nasty/tastes like butt. What can I mix it in?" I've recommended this in some threads before, but no one ever seems to wanna try it. Here's what you do: -Get a note card or some other similarly sized paper -Scoop your powder onto the center of the card -Get a mouthful of water(or any drink) -Grab card by the edges and pinch together slightly to make it into a chute -Use the chute to pour the powder into your mouth (try and get it all onto the fluid surface) -Swallow in one big gulp There you have it, nasty powders ( CEE, CM, ALCAR, Piracetam, you name it) down the hatch without ever tasting them. I'll usually mix a few on the paper, like 3g of CM and 1.5g of ALCAR. Occasionally some will hit your taste buds, but it's very short lived. Does anyone even try this at all or is everyone condemning themselves to ruined shakes and rancid Crystal Light?  It's a very practical, easy, and fast way to get your bulk powders down.

Will this work for the bcaas too? They are giving me thr biggest difficulty. I find CEE to be ok... AAKG is cake, ALCAR is frickin rancid (will do notecard thing), but due to the non-mixing nature and large amount needed of the bcaas, would this work? Thanks DS

It's more of a "what the hell is this industrial glue / plastic taste touching my tongue" reaction... Ruins shakes, but with the card technique is only slightly unpleasant and only for a second or two. Still trying to work out a way to get the BCAAs in effectively. Oh well - the price we pay for cheap, quality products I guess... DS

You're better off to mix the powder in a small glass of water maybe 2-4oz. Then just down it like a shot and follow with some oj as it can mask most powders. Forget trying it with green tea as that stuff jsut sticks to your mouth and tastes forrible. You're better off diluting it in a gallon of water or capping it. |
Couldnt that work against some supplements since OJ high in citrus acid? I know CEE,Alcar etc taste acidic but I think citrus acid might work against some of them. For ex when I used to take creatine I emailed creatine co for info and they told me OJ or any high acid drink diminishes the creatine. Maybe thats not the thought anymore who knows. They said a high carb non acid drink like grape juice imagine gatorade works well to .
