I too have noticed the BIG change in the taste from the previous product. The first formula was tart and the current product is bitter. This is a disappointing change as I use this product mixed in water. Before it was palatable and now it is very much NOT. As for effects, well I haven't given the new formula a go yet as I am finishing off the old product. It would go a long way in terms of customer service if BN were to note the following:
1. That they actually changed the product!
2. That the characteristics have changed, and specify how they have changed.
In fact it would be a great service to us customers if they were to note the TASTE and SOLUBILITY characteristics of all of their bulk products.
As a side note and a tip for those wishing to use this product in a water based mix you can kill bitter tastes with acidic. So you could blend this with acetyl-l-carnitine which is very tangy/acidic (smells and tastes like vinegar...acetic acid would be the common compound giving both their characteristic taste/scent).
I'll post a proper review of the effects of this NEW AAKG product later - it better be better than the previous product (grrr). |
