My Personal Experience
The Taste
Okay, so here's something you should know - if you're one of those people who has the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap (like me), this is going to taste like soap. I use it sublingually and try not to move too much while it sits under my tongue. After letting it sit for a bit, I grab a water as a chaser and just chug it. You can't completely avoid the soapy taste, but this method makes it more manageable.
The Effects
Despite the taste situation, this has become my favorite supplement for unwinding after a long day. The effects kick in pretty quickly and they're consistently good. Last night was pretty typical - took a dropper and a half after dinner, did some reading, then took a hot shower with some music playing in the bathroom. It was great. Really relaxing and calming.
When To Take It
This is definitely an evening supplement for me. The relaxation effects are perfect for winding down, and I've found it helps create this nice, peaceful mindset that's perfect for end-of-day activities like reading or just chilling out.
