I ordered from liftmode and their products are relatively ineffective. I may just be immune or they may just be cutting their supplements or shipping inert materials.

I would highly appreciate if you could provide me with ANY of the following:

• Solubility (water, isopropyl, lipid, or anything else)
• Consistency/texture (fluffy, dense, rough, soft, etc..)
• Color
• Smell
• Taste
• Boiling point
• And any other general characteristics

OF:

• l-theanine
• magnolol/honokiol (magnolia extract) [mine tastes and smells like makeup, and there are some shiny particles in it..]
• baicailin
• oleamide (mine seems much like soy lecithin)

Any help would be highly appreciated. I have a growing distrust of this company. Especially because of their bullshit review incentives. Their prices on rare products are also suspect.

Please help me determine the legitimacy of this sketchy company.

THANK YOU!

I will post my findings for all of you!

Alright the theanine is definitely working. I just had to take roughly 20g.

I used spirulina for my weight control. Spirulina is considered a food item for centuries in many countries and is now popularly thought of as a dietary supplement. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, anti-oxidants and chlorophyll. The chlorophyll in spirulina helps eliminate toxins from the body and cleanses the kidneys, blood and liver. It also contains the highest concentration of protein for any plant, herb or animal on a gram per gram basis. The amino acid content of its protein is very close to the WHO standard.

Sensory Observation of Spirulina Powder
1. Color: Dark green
2. Smell: Seaweed smell
3. Consistency: Fine powder (40 mesh)

Thank you! I have taken lecithin before before. The smell of the oleamide is just very reminiscent of it. The texture I suppose is more waxy.

Okay so the baicailin and l-theanine seem to be definitely legitimate.

The magnolia extract burns my mouth so its probably good.

I am mainly concerned because I took several grams of oleamide and felt entirely normal, which is odd because it's supposed to be rather good at inducing sleep, but I feel wie awake on it. Plus liftmode is the only consumer friendly way to get oleamide. The only other way is sigma aldrich and alibaba and the like.
