Empower - Instant Willpower™ for Sugar Cravings Appetite, Suppressant of Sugar Taste | Sugar Blocker w/Gymnema Sylvestre, 5HTP, Biotin, Chromium Picolinate | Supports Keto

Given that I'm seeing some reviewers claim that they were offered a bribe by the company to give a good review, I feel the need to say that in no way is that the case here. I'm just giving my 100% genuine experience with this product.So to start out, omg the taste of the spray... It's awful T_T I've always hated the taste of mint though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you don't hate mint like me, you'll probably be fine. It really just tastes like mint gum (blegh). I can tolerate it, just not happily.That all said, the product really does work - if you use it right! That's super important because the first time I used it, I did it wrong. I used it the same way I saw it used in a Facebook advertisement, which is annoying because the company is releasing advertising that shows people doing the wrong thing.How it was shown in the video, and how I used it the first time, was by spraying it twice in my mouth and then immediately eating a pop tart. Bad idea! That means the sides and front of your tongue won't have any product on them, and they'll pick up the sweetness still. It also means that every bite gets sweeter and sweeter as the product quickly wears off. There's a paper that comes with the product which says to fully coat your WHOLE tongue (far back, sides, tip, etc), and to wait 20-30 minutes before eating or drinking. That really is crucial for any level of success.The second time I used it, I sprayed my mouth more and made sure to get all of my tongue, and then I waited the 30 minutes. That time around it worked great! The brownies I tried to eat tasted like cardboard and I had no desire to finish them. My sugar craving immediately died at that point and I decided to go eat my leftover salad instead. The dressing on that salad was tasteless but I ate it anyway. The vegetables had more flavor than the brownies at least! I think it's important to know that the act of spraying this stuff isn't what kicks the sugar craving, it's following through and trying to eat that sweet thing, and then having it taste nasty that does it.Throughout the rest of the day I found myself testing the product on other foods, making sure to coat well and wait the half hour. I tried mac and cheese, a sandwich, veggie soup and some potato chips - all of which tasted perfectly normal. I also tried another pop tart, brownie, cookie, flavored yogurt and sweetened juice, which all tasted like chewing on a box lid. I never got past one or two bites with any of them.TLDR - This product ONLY works if you follow the directions on the paper included with the product. Coat your whole tongue (the far back was where I kept missing with the spray) and wait a half hour before eating, or you'll just have bad results.

I saw this on YouTube before I bought it and I thought all the reviews on YouTube were full of crap, BUT turns out it's true. When I researched Gymnema Sylvester I found out that yes, it blocks the taste of sugar. If you want to stop yourself from eating sugary foods for diet reasons, health reasons or out of curiosity, spray this in your mouth (about 3 sprays and swish around the whole mouth) I wait a few minutes because there is a strong peppermint, binaca taste that needs to wear off. If you try to eat anything with sugar, it will taste like nothing, card board, paper.... nothing sweet. You can taste other foods, meat, cheese, pasta, salt, vegetables... everything except sugar. Cookies taste like dough... without sugar, Ice cream taste like air, candy taste like card board, Fruit taste bland, chips taste like paper, sweet chocolate taste like super dark chocolate. If you want to make sure you don't eat sugar before bed or get up craving sweets, do one spray before bed (after brushing teeth) this will make candy, soda, chips so disgusting you will not want anything sweet. It last for about 3 hours. Be prepared to have water or tea around to drink and foods other than sweets to eat. Fast food taste a little different too, you can tell how much stuff has sugar in it and/OR it does not hit the satisfaction level it once did because your sugar senses are numb. My sugar cravings went down when I use this because I THINK my sugar glands are blocked and there is such a STRONG peppermint taste, it confuses your cravings. I think this stuff is so great.Tea with real honey (Manuka honey) is my new favorite thing to drink.If you are serious about trying to lower or stop sugar intake, Try this.

Ok, so I’m not sure what all the hype is about, but unless I’m using this all wrong, it does NOT work AT ALL!! The flavor is fine! Tastes like a strong binnaca Blast or altoid mint! The thickness or consistency is just like water and the value for your money is horrible! I shook the bottle and put 3 sprays in and then took a bite of a chocolate truffle! It was a little bland but then the chocolate flavors came right out and tasted fine! I then used 3 more sprays to see if I had enough! I sprayed it all over my tongue......... ate a dove chocolate...still, nothing!!! I then sprayed 3 more and this time I let it sit on my tongue for a bit and I didn’t drink or eat anything for about 10-15 mins! I then tried some captain crunch with crunch berries......tasted just like the cereal! 🙄🙄🙄 Such a disappointment!! I was really hoping this would work!! If I’m using this wrong, I wish that someone could respond to this review and give me some tips or suggestions!!!

Pros: it does what it says (makes sugar invisible to your tastebuds)... which feels really strange.Cons: not actually practical in curbing sugar cravings, bc you have to spray it so close to the time you eat sugar. I suppose the idea is that you’d spray any time you have a craving, but honestly... who is doing that? The taste is fine, but has a strong aftertaste (like artificial sugar)

I have to say that I was skeptical that this would work but I had to try it. I have a severe stress driven urge to consume sweets, and nothing has helped me prior. I made sure to cover my tongue with the spray. It is a strong mint flavor. Just shy of being overbearing, but then again Altoids make me gag because they are so strong. I ended up getting distracted and didn't start my lunch until about 2.5 hours later. I had Greek Yogurt with fresh raspberries and an apple. I noticed that the yogurt was not quite as "sharp" in flavor but I could still taste the sour note. The raspberries literally tasted like dirt. Not repulsive, but not sweet at all and very earthy. In addition, the apple had no sweetness either. Even my water with Mio mixed in wasn't sweet. I am impressed! I am hoping that it works on other sweets as well and curbs my cravings. It is worth the try in my opinion.
