I figured I would give another quick lab update. We got a few new things in from Buchi that we will be using a lot over the course of the year. They actually arrived a little while back, but COVID-19 has put delays on installing and using them. I've spoken a few times on here about it, but I have always been frustrated by the lack of reference standards for certain things. There are so many cool plants out there without any reference standards for their active ingredients! So we are left unable to properly standardize for the things in those plants that we want. If Sigma or USP didn't carry the standards, we were kind of out of luck. We were forced to just do extraction ratios and wait for the standards to eventually become available. Well I decided that was not a good enough solution. So now we are building out the capability in our lab for us to create our own reference standards!
Here is the Buchi C-850 dual flash chromatograph/preparatory HPLC with both UV and ELSD detector.
Many of you already know what an HPLC system is. It's a machine that uses columns and solvents to separate out compounds from each other through a liquid mobile phase. Thos…

Wow. You have a lot to be proud of. Virtually every other noot / supplement company out there would be fine with just throwing whatever they purchased from their manufacturers out there and hoping it's actually what they are selling. I'm very, very impressed. Thank you for having such high standards and ethics which allows me to try new supplements without having to worry about getting something weird in the process.
It's been fun to see your company grow up over the last few years. I hope you're able to continue for a lot of years going forward.

Thanks for the support! It's my pleasure! It's been a fun ride for me as well. I did tell everyone I wanted to advance and push the entire industry forward; even all the way back in 2013 when I started Ceretropic. However, I think many people didn't understand how serious I was. I get that many people say things that are just hot air, but I am dead serious. I've sacrificed too much to not see my mission through to fruition. I went most of my life not knowing what my purpose was, as I think many people do. However, I now know what I am meant to do. It's a mission I think can resonate with anyone. It's the search for the truth. Is what I am putting in my body real? Can I trust the numbers I am being told? I think anyone wants the answers to those questions.
