Bird's Nest Essence Concentrated Powder: $120 for a 30-count box at the time of reviewOK, this is one of those things that I had to do a double take on. I was going through some health and beauty things on Amazon. When I saw these birds nest essence, concentrate sticks. I will admit to some disbelief the first couple times that I read the listing. People aren't actually drinking bird nests, right? Well, as it turns out, they are. So once I did a little bit of online digging, and confirmed that it wasn't one of those health fads that turns out to be harmful, I decided to give it a try.Throughout this process, I've tried to keep an open mind. As it turns out, swiftlet bird nests are an Asian health remedy that has been around outside the US for a long time. They are purported to offer a number of beauty enhancing properties. Apparently, it is the bird saliva in the nests that contain the bulk of the nutrients.I'm gonna be honest here, the thought of drinking powdered bird spit was not exactly enticing to me. But, these deserve a fair shake, so I gave it a try. The powder itself has somewhat of a chemical-y smell. But beyond that, once it's mixed into water, there's virtually no taste. It was very easy to drink the water for that reason I guess, if anything else, they're encouraging you to stay hydrated.In order to get a better sample than just one person, my wife, best friend, and I all tried these for several days. And I realize that several days may not be a long enough time to realize the actual effects of taking them, so I factor that into my review.The end result of our trial is that none of us realized any of the supposed benefits of these powders. But as I mentioned before, we didn't take them for longer than a week. It may be that they help if you take them for a prolonged period. But that brings me to the one major downside here: the cost. At $120 for a one month supply, you're committing quite a bit of money to your belief that these will help enhance health and beauty. Frankly, I don't believe that they work enough to commit that much money.Ultimately, this was one of those oddities that I ended up trying that was just that: odd. I honestly don't believe that drinking water with this powder, and it will have the supposed results. I would absolutely love to see some scientific studies on this. I suspect that they will confirm my initial assumption. Well, I don't think they're particularly unhealthy, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement. If they cost 10 or $20 for the box, you're not really out much money trying them for a couple months. But even just two months supply is going to end up costing $240. To me, that is just absolutely unsustainable. But… This review also takes into account the fact that other people may believe they work. And after doing a cursory search on Amazon, I have found that the price for these packets is actually, unbelievably, (and I struggle to use this word) ‘reasonable’ compared to other sources of swiftlet nest powder. So I take that fact into account in my final rating of three stars out of five. To be clear, I am not endorsing this. My three star rating is specifically geared towards those who are already interested in this kind of thing. I do not believe that the cost justifies the result. I would absolutely not order these over again.

I have had bird’s nest soup in the past and the primary reason for eating this type of soup is for the purported medicinal properties from consuming and I kid you not, bird spit. These nests are made from saliva excreted by several species of swiftlets ( little birds similar to swallows) found mostly in SE Asia). Eating the bird’s nest is mostly tasteless and there is a bit of gelatinous vegetable-like texture. Depending on how the soup is made is where all the flavor resides.Similarly, these powdered sticks are tasteless. So you can mix it is soup but it doesn’t seem as fun as saying, yup, I ate bird’s nest. I guess you can say, you ate bird’s spit though.I won’t get into it here, but it is a very time consuming and labor intensive process to harvest and prepare bird’s nest for human consumption. That is the reason for the high prices charged (up to $100) for just a bowl of bird’s nest soup. So with 30 sticks of bird’s nest essence in this package is a great value compared.Consuming bird’s nest, or in this case the essence of it in powder form will according to traditional Chinese medicine will make you look young, increase your libido, mental capacity, improve respiratory functions, and improve immunity.Whether it actually does all it claims is continually up for debate. There is however, a huge demand for bird spit so that must be saying something.I think though, I would still prefer the soup version over powdered sticks.

Has no taste whatsoever. Makes me think it really diluted like most products out in the market since real bird nest is difficult to obtainIndividualized packet easy to tear and pour

I recently stumbled upon BI-SU Bird's Nest Essence Concentrated Powder Sticks and decided to give it a try. I have never heard of swiftlet's nests before, but the product description promised numerous benefits, including anti-aging and skin health. The individual sachets were convenient to carry around, and the idea of adding it to my morning smoothie or coffee seemed easy enough.However, after trying it for a few days, I can't say that I'm impressed. Firstly, the taste was not pleasant at all. It had a distinct fishy flavor, and even though I tried to mask it with my favorite smoothie ingredients, the taste was still overwhelming. Secondly, I didn't notice any significant differences in my skin or overall health. It might be too early to tell, but I expected at least some noticeable changes after using it for a few days.Overall, the BI-SU Bird's Nest Powder Sticks were just weird to me. I didn't like the taste, and I didn't see any noticeable benefits. However, I will continue to use it until the box is finished, and maybe I'll notice some changes down the road. If you're adventurous and curious about trying new health supplements, then it might be worth giving it a try. But for me, it's a one-time experiment that I won't repeat.
