Why the difference in reviews on Reddit vs. Amazon for MicroMag?
Replying to CaptainExcellent5299 · I believe the sale to Nestle was almost 10 years ago? The biggest issue seems to be the outrageous cost of some products. I haven’t noticed any quality or potency issues with their…
It was 9 years ago, but yeah. It's been Nestle for a while. They have sucked for a while. They always fail our testing. Our most recent test of theirs was their Ashwagandha. They claimed 12.5mg withanolides per capsule. We found 1.49mg per capsule, so a massive failure. That was…

Curious on y'alls thoughts on this. I spoke to a ayurveda person (ayurveda is where Ashwagandha and Bacopa come from) and he was like for thousands of years we put the herbs into food and ate it long-term and not made extracts out of it. Should we have skepticism over extracts with this logic maybe?
Replying to Warren_sl · To be fair L-BAIBA is behind the Mitoburn name which may hurt it more than help. I’m a fairly knowledgeable customer and I honestly didn’t even remember that it was that product un…
That's true. Maybe we should change the product name to just L-BAIBA instead.

Replying to Original_Pride_5451 · Carbamide Forte is not a good brand. It could be a brand issue.

He said it was Carbamide Forte, which is a straight up garbage Indian brand. I bet it has withanone in it, which has been shown to be hepatotoxic. I will buy some to run through the lab.

L-BAIBA does seem interesting! We brought that out a while back, but it hasn't really gotten very popular. This could be a cool mechanism to highlight. It does activate astrocytes, but doesn't antagonize dopamine. It supports mitochondrial function and activates AMPK, while reduc…

Replying to DoctorBoneMarrow · How would you hypothetically approach stuttering? The prevailing research points to hyper-dopaminergic activity in the striatum/basal ganglia (similar to Tourette's) and potential…
That's tough, because the causal mechanisms are not proven yet. Thiamine is the most studied supplement for stuttering, so that is an obvious easy one to have in there. Magnesium and L-theanine would be good for the GABA effects. I'd actually say Tauromag would be the best there.…

I am promoting modern *science*, not modern *medicine*. I agree that the pharmaceutical industry has largely failed everyone, and so have many doctors, to be honest. It's about profit over health most of the time. Even the doctors that are not in it for the money are part of a sy…

First off, saying they didn't use extracts in Ayurveda is just wrong. They even have a word for using milk to extract the plants: Ksheerapaka (or Kshirpaka). That's literally a dual extract using water and the fats from the milk to extract both the water and fat soluble compounds…

Replying to Warren_sl · Well maybe you could sell it with those certifications and guarantees.
I guarantee you nobody is getting TND1128 from Japan. It's all from China. There is a company pretending to be. https://www.kiranjapan.com/en/ However, they mistakenly call TND1128 5-deazaflavin, so they have no idea what they are even selling, and they only registered that site…

That place doesn't do any lab testing for TND1128. They also claim liposomal nano delivery system, but then show no other ingredients and state no additives. Total horseshit. They also say they do third party lab testing, but there are only 4 actual COAs on their entire site. htt…

TND1128 isn't 5-deazaflavin. It's a derivative of it, but they are different things. Who are you buying it from? TND1128 is actually supposed to be 3-methyl-10-ethy-deazaflavin.

Replying to Ashamed-Status-9668 · Speaking of Amazon. I was looking over reviews and for fucks sakes they lowball your product ratings. I swear one has to game the system to get over 4.4 ratings.
All Amazon reviews are either fake, gamed, or paid for. ALL OF THEM. What you see on ours is what happens organically. Normal people don't review products unless they are super angry, or they are compensated for it.

Replying to Warren_sl · Thank god Maitake is coming back. How much ergothioneine per serving for each product and around what time frame?! Secondly approximately when is the new myostatin mushroom coming?
We are having a vitamin D stack that will contain 5mg ergothioneine in it. Then we are having a standalone ergothioneine stack with 25mg in it. That way you can combine them both for 30mg/day. Myostatin stack will be out soon, in the next month or two. We are just waiting on the…

Mushrooms are having a comeback?!? LOL We have a product coming out that has maitake standardized to ergothioneine in it, and we are doing a high ergothioneine stack soon as well. If we do a shiitake, we want to do a novel standardized extract with it. We have some ideas.

Replying to meatspin6969 · Why did you stop taking the OmegaTAU?
I'm a person that can start getting depressed with too much choline precursors, so I decided to switch to fish oil and krill oil for my DHA for a while, as OmegaTAU has alpha-GPC in it.

Replying to runrunriderepeat · Thank you I really appreciate the response! I usually order right from your site!!
My pleasure! Either direct from us or our Amazon store works for us. We have spent more time growing our Amazon over the past couple years. Many brands start on Amazon, then try to grow their own sites afterwards. We went the other direction.

Honestly, more of an oversight than anything. It's a good thing to have in your stack. I will add it in now that you reminded me. I was taking OmegaTAU before, which had it in there. However, right now I am taking high dose Triple Strength fish oil and NKO krill oil, so adding in…

We've been behind on production. We had to set up another bottling line. We bought a 12 channel counter, and are setting that line up now, though. So we should be catching up on our backlog soon. I will check on the 180ct options.

Internally driven. We've talked about a rebrand/packaging update for over 6 years. In fact, I have test bottles on my desk from exactly 6 years ago when we first started the conversation. We almost did it back then, but other events put it on hold. What inspired me on the bottles…
