I am dying to hear others' experiences with this stuff bc it just seems like it really has got to work! I just got it in the mail today. It comes in capsules, liquid, and leaves and I got the leaves (super cheap, lifetime supply for like ten bucks). From the reviews I read, you don't get all the benefits from the capsules or they might not work as well.
So, anyhow... I put just a little pinch of the leaves in my mouth and chewed on them for two or three minutes and then spit them out (they are dryish leaves, so it's not like eating lettuce or something, I think you can swallow, though, not sure) and now.... drumroll.... I can't taste anything sweet at all! It's so weird! I put a skittle in my mouth and I could absolutely not taste it at all. The effect is supposed to last up to two hours. So, I will be "dipping" all day long, I guess. lol Or, maybe just when I feel an urge for something sweet.
There are also supposed to be beneficial systemic effects mostly on blood sugar and it is supposed to decrease cravings for sugar independently from what it does to your tongue. But that remains to be seen. I'm thinking even if I just have the tongue effect that's pretty a pretty awesome tool.
