Blackstone labs is one of the most hardcore brands out there. I'm well familiar with their products even back in the day from Dust and Dust v2 DMHA pres. Lately they came up with reformulated version of hardcore sleep aid - Anesthetized. Which has a special heavy hitter and gray area ingredient called Phenibut. If you are a stim junkie you are well aware of this substance. Lately reviewers been praising this sleep aid and I decided to purchase one from Nutritional Supplements Shop.

Taste/Mixability/Serving size- I got the Snowcone flavor. It's taste amazing, taking into account that sleep aid products usually hard to mask and make good tasting because the ingredients they have in it. 11 gram scoop size on the scale is well on point, powder's texture and consistency is very fine (see in the attachment pictures). Powder itself to get fully dissolve takes a little bit of effort than other powder products, because it seems like it has some hydrophobic like ingredients, but eventually it all gets dissolved and not much settlings at the bottom of the shaker cup. Snowcone flavor is sweet, enjoyable, with cold water it's taste like treat. No aftertaste or bitterness in the backend. Servings per container is 25 grams which is a plus, since some sleeps supps has 20/40 servings.

Effects- I've tried this 2 times now, spaced out with 7-8 days. I went with 8 grams first and then 2nd time Itook 10 grams.Because of the phenibut being a highly addictive compound, it's not recommended to take it more than 2-4 times a month. Withdrawel of phenibut is very horrible and it may cause hallucinations and body pain until it goes away. So individuals planning to take it must be very careful and responsible with this.

Both two times I took it 1 hour before the sleep time and it some very interesting effects for me. Most bizarre point is actually doesn't really matter in term of its effectiveness. I got strange tingles and itchy feeling in my hands and face, just like Beta alanine gives. But my skin didn't get red, I checked the nutritional facts again maybe it had niacin so maybe it was the reason I got it, like niacin flush. But it does not and there are not any other new ingredient that I haven't tried before, including phenibut. In terms of its strength of making you fall asleep I can't point out too much. I didn't felt like I was cold out instantly or faster than normal or any other sleep aids. But it's very effective to keep you asleep during the night. The next day upon waking up I felt like I need more sleep, I had 8 hours sleep and I went back to sleep again to get another hour. I didn't experience any obvious mood elevation like I usually get even from Somatomax's half serving. I felt okay, calm rested but no signs of taking phenibut. So I could say so far I'm not really impressed. Somatomax is still king for me. Some reviewers swear by it and have put it in the top spot in their top sleep aids lists. People are different so is the experience and reactions to it. I'll try it more in the future with 11 grams next time. Maybe next month to take 2 weeks completely off phenibut to gauge its effect better. I'll write review on Somatomax which is 20 servings on label but technically it's 40 servings for me because I use only half serving and it's way more effective than this product. Maybe it's a good product for individuals who wants to dabble with exotic sleep supps and not be overwhelmed with strong products like Somatomax which has double amount of phenibut in it 💀

To conclude I'm not to sure to recommend this product since I haven't been experiencing its full effect yet, which I use such products to get better mood next day, aid to somewhat reset my stim tolerance and feel high stim pres better the next days. So far it felt like daily sleep aids supplements and label and effects hasn't been matching for me. If it was a daily supp without phenibut it would be 5/5 sleep aid but because of the label and claims it's a generous 3/5
