Which are the worst tasting supplements in bulk form?

[Greenhulk]

When I just read a comment about the taste of ALCAR, I occurred to me that there are some really bad tasting supplements in bulk form (and posted some in that thread already). Anyway, I was thinking to myself why not start a thread about this.

So my question is: Which are the worst tasting supplements in bulk form in your opinion? And how do you handle the taste? How do you take it? Any tips to cover the taste?

Here is my starting list of bad tasting supplements:
* bulk icariin powder - I mix it with fruit juice but it still tastes disgusting
* giant knot weed extract (powder form) - again fruit juice, mediocre taste then
* bulk leucine powder - yuck, already ruined delicious protein shakes with it, has a lousy solubility in water or juice, haven't found a way yet to make it taste good
* methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) - I generally dissolve it in sparkling water mixed with some fruit juice, taste depends on how much I put in
* MCT oil - I really don't like the taste of it (yes, I don't heat it) no matter how I use it

1 carboxy.

Put the amount in your mouth, and chug desired liquid lol

Bulk leucine isnt bad.. i dont think. I just put the leucine in my mouth and drink it down with w/e

Whey bulk natural

Gms

Daa. It'd taste isn't terrible. But it is so gritty and undisolved its ridiculous.

 

[thedarce]

phenylpiracetam so bad it leaves your mouth unable to appreciate the next 2-3 meals

I couldn't do that. But I guess when it comes to taste, it is also very much a subjective and individual matter.

Whey bulk natural

I agree. I only took it mixed with fruits and milk after I tried it just with milk once. It tastes a lot like cow - but not the meat.

 

[Greenhulk]

Gms

How do you take it? Pure?

Yes, the texture is really pretty bad. But normally I wouldn't take it in undissolved powder form. Just like most other powders.

Maca Root easily the worst tasting supp I've had in bulk form... Had to mix it with oatmeal or grapefruit juice it was so bad

That's funny - because I like the taste of Maca root powder. I just don't take it without something liquid because it is too damn dry to swallow.

And another one: Ornithine tastes pretty bad too in my opinion.

Oh man really?!? The smell of that stuff was enough to make me gag lol.

 

[money0351]

I actually like the taste of alcar... But I do agree that GMS isn't the most pleasant tasting thing but its not bad... It's like eating moon sand

 

[Wocheezy]

How do you take it? Pure?

i put the scoop in my mouth and wash with water. I'm sure there is worse out there but it is a struggle every time for me.

 

[bswanny]

ProSupps Leucine Matrix. Love it but the HICA smells and tastes like a tart mildew to be kind. Nothing I have found yet can hide it.

 

[machorox123]

Aakg is gross.. Its soo bitter its hard to cover up with anything

 

[Sr_505]

Bulk Agmatine. Tastes like death. Even just a gram of it washed down with water is terrible.

This. At least tossing it into a preWo can mask it to a degree, I once made the mistake of putting a gram of it into my protein shake...never do this at home kids. (End PSA)

Yellow Gold

I don't even know how to legitimately describe the taste.

 

[fame126]

1,3 dimeth is pretty bad and its usually a very small amount but still nasty!

 

[Mack411]

Bulk cissus!

 

[Oscar]

bulk pslin

 

[Quadzilla99]

NAC is pretty nasty

 

[ddfox]

Cissus!!!!!!!

 

[kbayne]

Bulk Cissus, Bulk DAA, and Yellow Gold.

 

[Rodja]

Yellow Gold

This.

Sulbutiamine is freaking gnarly as well.

wtf.. I love the way maca tastes! Maca powder makes chocolate protein shakes taste so much better IMO.. I add 4g to em!Mike

 

[Sr_505]

Bulk Cissus, Bulk DAA, and Yellow Gold.

Bulk DAA is pretty bad... Mainly the texture is awful. The taste isn't overwhelming though.

 

[mtinsideout]

Really?!? I know other people hate the taste of the stuff its not just me lol. I guess it all depends on what you like or how shot your taste buds are from bad supps lol.

1 carboxy, had to parashute.

NAC for me. Then again NA-R-ALA burns the sh*t outta your mouth...

 

[Mack411]

Agreed,cranberry juice fixes this oj helps as well.

 

[MonteRXS]

ALCAR and Bulk Cissus are definitely at the top of my list. I did have a cap of PowerFULL break open so I tried swallowing the powder from the caps... worst mistake ever. There's a reason it's capped lol.

 

[Greenhulk]

Had 1g of agamtine this morning dissolved in water. The taste wasn't really that bad. But it wasn't great either, so I decided to add some fruit juice and this almost covered its taste completely.

To me, AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate) just tastes very sour, that's all. Not really bad IMO.

NAC has a bad smell. Due to its sulphur content a little bit like H2S. But the taste is not too bad - again IMO.

 

[rob112]

NA-R-ALA is impossible to mask as well. That gets my vote.

Citrulline Malate could be bad if you dislike sour/ things, because it's so strong. But I actually kinda like it.

Citrulline Malate is another bulk I am not a fan of. It is sooo sour and weird haha.

Lol I mixed it with my chocolate protein shake the first time I used it...horrible mistake. It's not bad mixed in with MBCAA though

After dumping 6-8 grams of it in my mouth for the last month, I've started to enjoy it lol. Especially since it gets the taste of agmatine out of my mouth. I take all my bulk supplements by dumping the powder in my mouth and washing it down with water, because I'm a whimp about drinking water with stuff mixed in, haha. Even preworkouts (don't recommend).

I've tried that also, not a good idea haha.

For real? lol. That is kind of funny you don't like mixing stuff in with water. I have just thrown CM in the mouth also and chased it, but make my tongue have a burning feeling somewhat.

Some of the original CEE bulk powder I got for free left a terrible memory In my mind!
