Capsule request: Carnosine and Milk Thistle
Original post in this thread

I know you guys are really backed up on making capsules, but figured it might be worth asking after fighting to cap some carnosine that seems to be very static sensitive for some reason and overall just a pain to cap.
Also would love to see Milk Thistle capsules someday, but certainly lower priority than carnosine.

We have berberine and milk thistle coated tablets in production now. We are also about to do standalone milk thistle/silymarin capsules. The issue is that everyone is saying their milk thistle is 80% silymarins, but it isn't. They are using UV-VIS methods that double the numbers. So we are doing some investigation on all the products out there before we finalize the dosing of ours. Should not be long, though.
Carnosine is a difficult one. I really like it, and think it is a supplement everyone should try. However, it doesn't sell very well, is expensive, and doesn't have a lot of people looking for it. So spending the money on a run of a few hundred thousand capsules is a hard decision. We are getting some new smaller encapsulating machines that will make it more feasible to do smaller runs of new products soon. So that might be a good fit. I could justify doing a 50,000 capsule run to see how carnosine capsules sell easier than I can 200,000.
