Cyracos Lemon Balm Extract Powder | 30 Grams | Supports Healthy Stress Levels + Cognitive Function | Promotes a Healthy Sleep Cycle | Ayurvedic Herb | Melissa officinalis

This stuff smells awful. Really bad.It's also more expensive than the other Lemon Balm Extract sold by ND.I understand that Cyracos is supposed to be cleaner/nicer/more potent - but it definitely didn't seem that much better (if at all) in my opinion.Plus...it really smells bad. When putting it in capsules (even using my capsule filler) - just getting a small amount on my hands/desk would leave the smell lingering through several hand washes. I don't know what it is - but it's like...stale gym socks that got used to wrap a dead animal.Maybe I'm being dramatic, but few things offend me as much as the scent of this stuff.Having said all that, in terms of lemon balm extract - it's a really great product. I found it to be calming, I was getting 10-20 minutes more slow wave sleep each night and it helps with anxiety throughout the day without the drowsiness/spaced out feeling that other supplements sometimes give me.

I take the powder directly with a small spoon. The taste is no big deal and is almost appealing (to me at least). My initial results are that it may help with sleep, but it's not like taking e.g. Sonata (which will definitely work). I'll try this for a while. One thing I believe is to cycle this just like any nootropic. If people are interested, I'll update in a few months. BTW I'm taking it with parsley and the combo does seem to give me more dream time (according to my Oura ring).
