Have you guys looked into adding Astragin to your products to increase absorption? Or perhaps you could sell it alone?https://nulivscience.com/ingredients/astragin
Disclaimer - I have no idea if the clinical data is actually sound. I'll leave that up to you guys.

Astragin is just a trademarked name for a combo of astragalus and ginseng. It is not as potent of a p-glycoprotein inhibitor like piperine is. If you look at their data, Astragin only increases curcumin bioavailability 92%. Piperine increases it 2,000%. It's actually pretty crappy at what they are marketing it for, and it is just astragalus and ginseng. Might as well combine them yourself for cheaper at that rate. I think it is pretty silly they are marketing a simple combo like they are.
If you want to go down an alternate route like that, just use our PanaMAX. That's going to work WAAAAAY better than Astragin. The schisandra is a much better p-glycoprotein inhibitor than astragalus, and then you get the ginseng, too. Perhaps we should market our PanaMAX as an absorption increaser like they are. LOL
