> they taste gross and it's pretty common to feel really sick and throw up within the first 30 minutes

FYI, if you make a tea instead of ingesting them directly, both of these issues can be avoided.

Use a coffee grinder to crush it into a fine powder. Squeeze a lemon into a cup. Put the powder in and stir. Wait 20 minutes, add some orange juice or water and take it down. Activates instantly and you sidestep the nausea from your stomach where it feels like if you move a muscle you'll hurl.

I have not done this but I'd probably recommend not using that coffee grinder for coffee anymore :^)

In general this is excellent advice! Having said this, I wager some of us don't mind drawing a soft wildcard before heading to work :)
