Mine came in the mail today! I was pumped when I walked up to my house to see it waiting for me on the porch. One thing I was immediately kind of annoyed with was the packaging. The wrap on the outer surface of the tub is what contains the nutrition label and all the other text. Yet, when you try to peel the top portion of it off to open the container and access the powder, the whole thing ends up coming off. I know there was a perforated line along which you were supposed to peel, but it didn't work for me at all. So now I have a blank white tub, and I'll probably have to keep referring to the internet to see how to dose until I memorize it. Just a minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless....
The powder smells pleasant. It is not terribly strong, but definitely does not have a 'chemical' undertone to it. I found the taste to be quite similar to the smell. It is a mild flavor, not too sweet or overdone. I actually found it quite refreshing. I can't recall exactly how it mixed, so I'll try to pay more attention to that next time, although it is a very deep deep red color. Sometimes I get concerned with heavily dyed products, which makes me wonder what it does to your insides. I was already in a pretty great mood when I took the Focus XT. I decided to only do half a scoop first and wait a bit longer to take the remainder of the serving. I took the first half at around 14:45, and didn't necessarily feel any different. Then I sipped on the other half part of the serving at around 16:30 before going to the gym soon after. I had a really nice workout, and did feel really zoned in. However, I had been in a new meditation class I am enrolled in this semester, and I think that helped to put me in a very euphoric mood too. So it is hard to say whether the meditation class of the FXT brought on this euphoric focus. I am still feeling very worry free, and I can get quite anxious at times.
Tomorrow when I use it I will not be meditating at all, so I may be able to better assess the efficacy. Also, I rarely ever drink alcohol, but I am thinking about having some drinks this Saturday night. You think this would be good to drink before drinking to add to the euphoric feeling brought on by alcohol. Haha essentially, would it make a good "party drug?"
