Capsule request: Carnosine and Milk Thistle

Original post in this thread

darkpenguin22 · 7 points

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.

Milk thistle has complexed tablets with berberine on the way!

For carnosine just get one of those cheap capsuling machines off Amazon and use that shit

So we actually decided to just do a regular coating on the tablets. This is because the silymarin absorbs best at low pH in the stomach. We didn't want to prevent the silymarin from absorbing. Plus, the berberine is very stable at all pH levels. So it does not hurt the berberine by having it get exposed to stomach acid. It just will absorb once it reaches the small intestine, and by that point the silymarin will have absorbed and gone to work increasing the bioavailability.

Just how bad is this industry?

Absolutely none? Probably zero from bigger brands. 50% off? Truthfully, I have not gone out and tested basic vitamins from brands. We have stuck to mostly botanicals and other small molecule organics. My assumption is th

Berberine restock eta?

We just keep getting fucked over an over again. We finally got the berberine tablets in from our partner. We sent it to them this time so that we could have them coated, as berberine tastes horrible. Well they took forev

When will Berberine w/ Silymarin be back in stock?

They just need to be coated. The tablets are all done and tested perfect, so the only thing is the coating. I'd release them without the coating, but it just tastes so bad. I take them every day myself, but I am fine wit

Any updates on Berberine / Silymarin restock?

Replying to TheGermanGuy21 · With the berberine tablets not being diversible, what was the reason for switching from capsules to tablets a while ago anyway? Seeing that this has made them out of stock for so l…

Well we would have had them in stock a month ago as coated tablets. However, our tablet partner that made them contaminated the entire quarter million tablet batch with black mold... So we got totally fucked by them and

Tongkat Ali feels like modafinil to me (question of timing)

Replying to klausvonespy · So horrible bitterness that follows you around. I think we're beyond nootropics into dystopian nanobots. Do we resist or just give in to our new Tongkat overlords?

I have thought about making a mixture that is the most vile tasting thing out there. I could do it easily. The base would be the 10% tongkat extract. Then you add some berberine for the nice bile flavor it gives. You add

Are coated Berberine HCL + Silymarin tablets still coming?

They are not that bad. If you suck on them like a candy it will be gross, but you barely taste them if you swallow them like normal. We might do a run at some point when we will coat them, but it won't be any time soon.
