Why is your Magtein so expensive?

I in general prefer to buy my supplements/nootropics from ND, but Magtein in particular is not just more expensive, but so much more expensive than other sources that I genuinely can't justify buying it from you guys. Is it an issue with suppliers?
Nootropics Depot: $0.44/capsule

We set our pricing on how much we are charged from the patent holder. We also do our own testing on it, but that should not add ridiculous amounts to the price. We get charged a lot for Magtein. Perhaps we are getting screwed on price compared to NOW and Jarrow? I can check with AIDP. They are the ones that set the pricing for us. When we sold generic magnesium L-threonate it was MUCH cheaper, but obviously we can't anymore because of the patent. There's no way we would be able to make those prices work with what we are being charged. Let me see what is going on, and see if perhaps they have dropped pricing for others and we have just not gotten on that pricing structure yet. I'd love to drop the price if we could.
