Lately, I had been looking into ways to easy my constant anxiety and get into a better mindstate. Other methods had not been successful, so I decided to go the chemical route. Better living through chemistry, right?
I had a long list of things that sounded interesting. On Amazon, I had a nice list of things that were available there as well. One company that I came across time and again was Liftmode. Reading reviews, they seemed like a decent enough company, and the fact that they had so much that interest me made me decide to try them.
I ordered L-Theanine and 5-HTP. I had taken 5-HTP before, but not pure. It was in these tasty little disolve tabs. they had seemed to be alright. Looking into L-Theanine, it seemed like it could be something to help as well.
The shipping was fast. The certificate of analysis was included for both, but for the 5-HTP it was actually for Phenibut. The measuring scoop was as listed though, and comes in quite handy. Each container had a different sized one.
The 5-HTP has a consistency and color of unbleached flour, though there has been times the taste has been quite bitter. I take it sublingually, letting it fully dissolve before I chase it with some water. I only take the one scoop each time. Taking it for several days, I had not noticed much of anything until I started taking it twice a day. I fall asleep a lot easier, I do not wake up in the night and feel more refreshed even after only a few hours. I do not feel overly relaxed or feel as if I am going to pass out as I had heard others claim. This could just be that it is different for most. I do notice I fell a little more positive, but it is nothing that is overwhelming or even overly exciting. Which is good, since I still wanted to be able to operate normally.
The other though, I have not experienced anything close to what others describe. No focus, none of that, though I have only taken it a few times, the minimum dose and only once per day. I suppose it may be something that needs to be increased and taken multiple times. It has a white color, also a powder, but more close to the fluffiness of powdered sugar. It tastes nothing like it though, actually seems to taste like nothing at all.
The company seems to be customer driven. They will fix any problem that arises. They even offered me a free item of my choice if I would review it on Amazon, so that seems pretty cool. There is just so much that sounds interesting that I am not sure what to chose.
