BulkSupplements.com Lemon Balm Extract Powder - Melissa Officinalis, Lemon Balm Powder - Vegan & Gluten Free, 1g per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

I love lemon balm. It's a tonic remedy that improves your mood and has calming, anti-anxiety properties. It helps with mild depression, restlessness, and irritability. It reduces feelings of nervousness and panic, and it quiets a racing heart while calming the central nervous system. It's a useful remedy for heart palpitations of a nervous origin. It's also great for easing digestive problems like stomachache, indigestion, acidity, nausea and bloating. It helps nausea due to emotional problems. Lemon balm also relieves cold sores and reduces the chances of further outbreaks. It also has an antithyroid effect, so it's given to those with an overactive thyroid.The lemon balm herb and the essential oil both smell sweet and lemony. But this extract powder smells and tastes very different. It's very bitter, slightly brown, and is a bit sticky on your fingers the way mushroom powders usually are. I would recommend ingesting this extract in capsules or blending it in with something sweeter to bypass the raw taste.Lemon Balm infusions help relieve nervous headaches, the tincture helps relieve anxiety and mild depression, and the essential oil mixed with olive oil helps relieve pain from shingles, flu with muscle aches, and other painful conditions. Overall lemon balm is a really excellent remedy for multiple issues, and I believe this extract powder is of good quality. I mixed the lemon balm, L-theanine, GABA, Maca, Vitamin C, MSM, Astragalus, and Choline into Emergen-C Immune vitamin powder. I added water, shook the bottle, and drank it down. It tasted pretty good and I got this immense feeling of wellbeing, of total relaxation, and calm. It was pretty instant and I found myself smiling, even though I hadn't slept for 2 days. I went right to sleep afterwards and slept so hard. It was great!

I gave this a try for a low grade general anxiety I felt on a regular basis...for no particular “reason”. I just felt uneasy and/or self conscious. And I’m a secure, confident woman, so I don’t know why. I even had a pain pill habit for a few years, which I quit 10 yrs ago with the help of Suboxone. I had tried all kinds of “brain” supplements through the years, to feel happy and balanced (and I don’t have bipolar or depression etc.) Nothing I’ve tried made me feel any different....until THIS!I’m so grateful I tried it. The day it arrived I mixed some in my tea. It smells/tastes awesome...like that instant Lipton lemony tea. And mixes in easily. I mix maybe half a teaspoon into my AM coffee, and maybe half teaspoon in my tea later. Maybe less would be enough but who cares! I’ve used it about 3 weeks now, and have NOT ONCE had this general anxiety/self conscious feeling!I just feel “normal”, balanced, and well-adjusted. If you feel like I did, you should definitely try it. It’s made a huge difference.*UPDATE 5-5-20. Been close to a year and happy to report still no anxiety! None!

New bag taste horrible. I have used lemon balm for years and this taste nothing like lemon balm. I bought BulkSupplements.com Lemon Balm Extract Powder back on January 1, 2021 and it tasted great and was totally lemon balm. What I just received taste like soap and is a very dark color.

I didn't rate the flavor because I put it in capsules when I got it, but this has been a great thing for me. I have anxiety issues and when I was prescribed Cymbalta for my back pain, I realized I suddenly had less anxiety issues. I stopped taking the prescription because it didn't help my pain, so I was looking for something else. My daughter introduced my to the liquid lemon balm tincture, which worked great but once I knew lemon balm was the answer I immediately switched to this. I've ordered a number of items from BuldSupplements and always been happy. This lemon balm extract is no exception and I take 1 capsule with ~400 mg once a day. I'm super happy with the results.

So far so good. I'm not sure if it's working or not working just yet; it's still a little too early to tell.The powder mixes easily and there's no taste.I mix it with some flavored fizzy water along with a couple of more Bulk Supplement powders: GABA and L-Theanine.It does fizz up at times, but that's the carbonation in the fizzy water.I am trying to duplicate the Olly Stress Reducer stuff; and I think that it's pretty close.Is it worth buying the powders from Bulk Supplements?Yes, absolutely worth buying and trying!!!

does the job...but in a drain all motivation kinda wayBeware, those with thyroid issues 😥

It has been working to help someone who has severe insomnia, pain, and stress to find sleep. This person is resistant to many medications and responds to this extract. I have been adding it to teas made with "sleepy" herbs, but the addition of the Bulksupplements Lemon Balm Extract is doing the trick.I also use smaller doses for myself and it is very relaxing. I like this herbal extract. I have used the whole herb before and while it makes a relaxing cup of tea, I am very appreciative of the fact that since I have been adding this teaspoon of extract to my family member's tea for the past few weeks (with his permission, of course) he has been able to go to sleep.
