Bulk 1-carboxy concerns

I bought some of your bulk 1-c from nutra and have been loving the improved sleep as well as skin but I'm getting a sore throat/nose from taking the powder. I usually take a sip of water and open my mouth and dump 1/2 tsp in my mouth and swallow. I've taken breaks from the 1-c and the sore throat/nose goes away but then I started taking it again and it comes back. Is it possible the powder is irritating my throat or am I having a weird reaction to it?
I'm guessing I'll have to buy a capper of sorts to see if its the powder.
Any thoughts?

It seems to me that the powder might be absorbing moisture. I would highly suggest drinking more water to make sure that it all goes down.
 
Unless you are having an allergic reaction of some sort (doubtful), than the powder itself is irritating your esophagus. I often find with capped PowerFULL a 'reflux' of sorts, whereby I burp powder for sometime after taking the product; most likely, it is related to the moisture content of the herbal preparation itself.

I would suggest either two options Steve and Dex suggested and/or capping the product.
 
The powder does not disolve well in water and is very fine. It sounds like you may be inhaling some of the dust - I get this occasionally. I usually dump the powder on my tongue, then take a drink of water and swish it around just a little to knock the dust down in my mouth, then swallow.
 
Pool the water in your mouth, spoon powder into pool, swallow quickly, chase with lots of water.
 
Sort of a chocolate-y bean type of smell but not sweet. If you rinse it in your mouth it's a bit harsh and bitter but not unbearable. But I'm not squeamish.

Lol, toxicity was not on my mind. I was referring to the choking hazard of swallowing a wet wadded up tissue.

ah well you use a 1 inch square piece, give or take a little, and if its a 2 ply napkin you can split em. you are at greater risk of it falling apart and dumping powder all over than choking :)

You dont even notice the paper when 'chuting'...
It is my preferred method. 100% natural, non-toxic rolling papers work very well.
 
Jacob will have to comment directly but, to my knowledge, he plans on extending to USPowders line. As towards a definite timetable, I would not expect anything prior to next weekend - ensuring the Jacked release runs smoothly will dictate that.

This being said, I will alert everybody should the situation change.

HUH? Am I suppose to answer something about swallowing napkins?
 
I think arginine base straight is actually worse than yellow gold, as hard to believe as that is. mostly because its aftertaste sticks around. I liked 1-carboxy and bulk powerful's taste actually, it was just the ultrafine particle size that was a problem. I'd inhale part of it every time.
 
i have a question concerning this topic. my container of bulk powder says 1/4 tsp = 800mg, but the description on the site says 1/3 = 800mg. which should i go by?

with regards to the person having difficulties getting it down. either cap it or mix it with decaf tea. thats what i do. goes down easy =)

The label on the container should be referenced.
 
Totally NOT the same product but what about VAT Attack? I am not going to cap it, don't have the supplies just yet, but want to take it in a relatively easy way... thinking about parachuting it actually, any other suggestions would be appreciated. First experience with bulk powders so bear with me!
 
Honestly i just put the carboxy under my tounge and leave it there until it dissolves. It takes a while to dissolve like around 15 to twenty min. I just think i wwould get more benefits that way.
