Love the idea behind these Blate Papes gel film pouches! They make it so much easier to take powdered supplements and herbs without the mess or strong taste. The film dissolves quickly, and they are super convenient to use.The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that I wish there were more in the pack.. Also, they could be slightly larger to accommodate more powder, as some supplements require multiple pouches. Other than that, they work well, and I will likely repurchase!

Sometimes I want to physically cringe when I hear someone call something a "game changer", but I'm having a hard time coming up with a better term for the Blate Papes cones.I've recently started taking different supplements because my diet is awful, and the chances of me having the time to make major changes there in shopping and preparation for the short term are not very good. And the difference in value between buying powdered supplements vs. capsules is immense, so I thought "Hey, I'll just toss them into my morning green drink, and I won't even notice them." Boy. Was I wrong.I was reading suggestions for using oblate paper, and stumbled on these when I was searching Amazon. They're a little more expensive, but seeing the pre-formed cone shape looked like it would help me get the hang of it, if nothing else. I watched the videos and was a little put off by the loud "gulp" noise the guy makes, but also realized that he's putting in probably twice as much stuff as I am.So I took the plunge. The first attempt wasn't a major success. I probably left it in water a little too long, and it came apart as I was swallowing it -- but I will say, with about 1,500 mg of products, it was easier to swallow than a single large capsule. The second morning, I rewatched the video, twisted the top a little, and it worked perfectly. The third morning, I tried wetting my fingertip and sealing the pouch before folding it over and dipping, and that was spot on perfect. By the fourth morning, I was opening up the capsules I had, and adding the contents to the powder. Game officially changed.I hate capsules. They always seem to get stuck in my throat, or make me feel like I have an upset stomach, but these? I don't feel them at all. There's zero taste when I drop them in my mouth. And I suspect that they dissolve faster than capsules do in my stomach.Also: I love that I can adjust my supplements with precision. So if it makes sense to adjust something from 250 mg to 325 mg because of my body composition / mood / dietary needs / whatever, I can just change up how much powder I'm using, rather than double up on capsules and use more than I want or need.Are they more expensive than no-name oblate paper? Yeah, no question. But for the money I'm saving by purchasing everything as powder rather than capsules, I'm coming out way ahead in savings. And I can't begin to quantify how far ahead I am in terms of daily comfort.

I can't go without these now, don't taste nasty kratom and dont have to mix and drink gigartina red marine algae powder. Only down side is how expensive it is and the shipping i have to pay to get it here faster. None the less great product and an absolute MUST for kratom users!!! 🙌🏽👍🏼 thanks blate papes for your existence.

These make taking daily spices incredibly easy.I've been using these pouches for about two months. Each morning, I fill each cone with about 1.5 tbsp of powered spices (turmeric, amla, black cumin, ginger, long pepper - from the list of Dr. Greger recommendations), flavors that would be gross if mixed in water or taken differently. Once the power is in, I fold over the top over the pouch and dip in water for a moment to seal it (watch someone's video, it helps).Although it looks like it would be difficult to swallow, because the size feel bigger than the multi-vitamin I dislike taking, with a swallow of water the Blate Paper cones slides down easily. I don't have to taste the spices, but get all their benefits.My only criticisms are the plastic box feels like the lid will break off from daily use and, I wonder if the cardboard stands will last until the end. Neither is a big deal, and both are that I really like the product and expect to wear it out from use.

EDIT: 12/19/24 - I have now purchased these 25 times since my original review which basically means I always have a pack of papes on me. Nothing about my review has changed, in fact, I feel like such a pape pro that I never waste a single pape anymore and I have mastered the art of both filling and swallowing! If I could give this product another 5 stars I would! I still use them for my kratom. If you are a fellow herb enthusiast, I found the case also works really nice holding anything rolled once empty of papes but I mean you could use it to store anything small. I gave a few of my friends an empty case after they saw how I used mine and now they also use it for joints or whatever. It's nice to be able to reuse and recycle instead of always throwing away. I have now moved over to purchasing the 2 pack (separate listing) as I am not always the best with reordering when I am low and have ran out a few times LOL. I know, auto ship, but I hate anything coming out of my mulah automatic. In conclusion, I will continue to use blate papes for as long as I have a need and Hey! If you guys ever need an ambassador, here I am! I should get a commission with how many people I have turned on to these! :)Original Review: 2023 - If you are one of many, like myself, who take powdered anything at least once a day and have to stop yourself from puking, these are an absolute MUST! O M G Where have you been Blate Papes all my life? I am a daily Kratom user, sometimes more than once a day, and I was a follower of the make a small drink with water and chug and then try not to puke it all back up. I just got these yesterday and they have already proven to be 150% worth it! I drink a kratom drink when I get to work every day and it is always an event - this morning? Not so much! I made 3 Blate Papes and swallowed them in about 2 mins with no taste, no spillage, no pukey feeling, no NOTHING! Just one and done! Didn't taste the Kratom at all! Unlike the veggie capsules, the Blate Papes break down super fast so there is no delay in getting the benefits from your chosen powder. I found that, when I capsuled my Kratom, it took way longer to feel anything and the effects seemed to be dulled down possibly due to the capsules breaking down at different times. Not anymore!The stand and scoop they provide are useful but I found it easier to use my HappyHippo scoop (shameless Kratom plug :-D) and just sorta of hold one of the Blate Papes in a way where I am sort of making the opening wider and then pouring in my Kratom. I will make a video at some point showing this method as I think it would be useful to some. The only thing you need to make sure of is that your hands are not wet or even slightly damp or you will have a bad time. Moisture seals and breaks down the Papes so be mindful! I found it easier to make the Pape, put some water in my mouth, drop the Pape in and swallow. Easy!I know this is a very simple product but it solves a very big, very annoying problem that many people face daily. I am now a life long lover of Blate Papes and will never not have any in my bag. Thank you for an amazing product!

Easy and very convenient way to take powdered supplements. No fuss.
