Eurycomax - my (almost 1 year update)
Replying to lewanay · That would be amazing! And there is a huge market for supplements around the peripartum period. Even starting with galactagogues (Moringa, Torbangun, Fenugreek, Milk Thistle and se…
Yep, that's the one we used; specifically HiPP from the Netherlands. They leave the starch out of that one that the German one has, but they have both pre and probiotics in it that the UK one doesn't.

Replying to MrRADicalKMS · That is marvelous news! On a side note that is a little more unrelated, will you guys ever sell any of the more common herbs that are often used in teas, and some of the little mor…
Yes, we have worked on both chamomile, valerian, and garlic. In fact, we had a chamomile that felt like a benzo! It was crazy. It was only stable in an ethanol tincture, though, so we never brought it out. I can revisit it, though. It was a really cool one. The same goes for vale…
Alcohol Question - Supplements to Prevent the Damage?
Replying to mbvlover25 · NAC, Milk Thistle & Tudca
The same goes for NAC. You have to take NAC before drinking alcohol, or it makes the damage worse. It's because of a dual stage pharmacokinetic profile that results in toxic metabolites being made by NAC if alcohol is already in your system, where that metabolic pathway is avoide…
Alcohol Question - Supplements to Prevent the Damage?
Replying to mbvlover25 · NAC, Milk Thistle & Tudca
You have to be really careful with TUDCA and alcohol. Let me break this down, as there's a lot of confusion around TUDCA and alcohol timing. Many companies say that you should avoid TUDCA within 24 hours of consuming alcohol. However, the whole "24-hour rule" thing isn't as black…

No, new designs will not raise prices. Bottle cost will go up, but our label cost might actually go down. Printing in house costs a lot, with the cost of stock, ink/toner, and maintenance of our printers. Having a professional printing company do them for us can actually make it…
Anyone know why so many supplement companies can't reach Prop 65? It's a California strict policy limit on heavy metals (an other things like water purity).

NOW Foods supplements - not quality tested?
That's a total lie. NOW has their own lab, and their lab director knows what she is doing. Their products are never going to have 0% of the actives. That's a silly stupid thing to say. We have tested some of their stuff that has come in below label claim, but never something that…

Hey! Let me break this down, as there's a lot of confusion around TUDCA and alcohol timing. The whole "24-hour rule" thing isn't as black and white as some companies make it seem. Here's what's actually happening in your body: TUDCA and alcohol basically fight for the same metabo…

Milk Thistle is beneficial to the liver! fact or fiction?
Replying to isaarg · People say they can tell the cheap tudcas are good from the taste, but only let's you know it is a bile acid, not true tudca or udca. To make tudca or udca it takes multiple extra …
I highly doubt anyone can really tell the quality of TUDCA by taste, unless they have calibrated their taste buds using properly assayed batches, and those impurities have specific flavors. Assay against a validated reference standard is the only real way to tell purity. Our sens…

We are working on TUDCA as we speak. It was always a pricing issue. We could never make the pricing work with what other brands were charging, and what it actually cost us for high quality TUDCA. We assumed everyone was using lower quality sources, but people wouldn't pay 2-3X mo…
Milk Thistle is beneficial to the liver! fact or fiction?
Yes, it is effective. However, it has to be a standardized silymarin extract. Just regular milk thistle is not effective. You have to have a highly standardized silymarin product. Also, milk thistle has another compound in it called silychristin. This compound inhibits the thyroi…
ConsumerLab vs. Nootropics Depot

Yep! It's even worse... Consumer Lab made Swanson their TOP PICK, even though it failed their testing! So not only did they overlook not meeting label claims, and try to explain away not having what customers are being told it has by pointing to methodology issues, they tell cust…

I test Swanson stuff all the time. I know what is (and isn't) in their products. You said these results validated your support of Swanson, when Swanson failed and had the least of any brand tested. I was correcting the record on the data. If you want to reject reality to insert y…

Amazon is being stupid right now. They just upped the costs to get things into their warehouse 500% over night. That's not a typo. FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT! Brands are pissed right now because of it. It's totally fucked our margins on there. Plus, they are being weird with Tongkat fo…

Tongkat Ali Tablets and Low Silychristin Milk Thistle
Hey everyone. I just wanted to let you know that we have Tongkat Ali 10% tablets back up. As many of you know, we initially launched the 10% Tongkat in tablet form. However, many people complained about the strong taste, so we moved to capsules instead. As I probably should have…

You'd be surprised. I don't think people realize just how many stupid things we deal with in a month. Some people chew the tablets and then complain. Some people take powders like berberine or milk thistle and put them into smoothies, then complain it tastes like ass. Some people…

Figured it out! We have a new inventory control person, and he accidentally switched the milk thistle to 1.2lbs instead of 1.2oz... It has been fixed, and we will use it as a training opportunity for him. Thanks for alerting us!
