Did the dose for the caffeine nalt solution half in the past year?

Am I going crazy?
It was 200mg of caffeine and ~230mg of NALT per mL in the past, right?
Is this a natrium health thing or just a safety thing? 200mg is my standard caffeine dose so it's going to have 15 doses per bottle instead of 30 which isn't the end of the world.

That was under Ceretropic. When we moved to Natrium, we lowered the caffeine for three reasons. One was liability. The old formula would be very bad if you drank the whole bottle at once. You might think that is stupid to do, and you would be right. However, people are stupid. Two, the stability of the solution at that concentration was not ideal for cold climates. It would fall out of solution for some people in winter time, and was super-saturated. So lowering it made it more stable. Three, the taste. At the old concentration it was impossible to cover up the bitterness of the caffeine. The new formulation is a lot easier.
