I would really like access to this powder option. I actually had that on my mind as I read these comments. For someone with kidney and liver issues it would be very cool to have access to the powder in bulk form to redose often and dont want to be taxed large for it.

NOW has a very huge in-house lab with tons of modern equipment. They are a MUCH bigger company than we are. They are one of the good guys in the industry. Hopefully one day I can build our lab to be that big! They have r

Well if I had answered you yesterday, I would say Life Extension and Jarrow are good. However, I just got some test results back in from our testing, and both of them failed our testing!!! Vitacost is garbage, and always

Okay, scratch what I said. I just got some lab results back from NOW's milk thistle, and it failed our testing. It is only 70% of label claim! I literally bought NOW, Jarrow, and Life Extension in this test as our positi

It's about double as potent. For now we are still going to sell the 4:1 in powder, but this new one will be in capsules. I might consider doing the new one in powder to replace the old listing, but I have not settled on

Just more potent. It should act the same. There are different silymarins like there are different withanolides. However, we are grouping them together. So 90% silymarins by UPLC, as opposed to 40% for the other extract.

Never heard of them. I automatically think everyone is BS, because I am proven right most of the time. I will buy some of their stuff to test. I will say that they have some stupid formulas. Just all over the place.

Yeah, nothing to feel like you missed out on. It's just a more potent extract with the same silymarins. It makes it easier to use in stacks and such, since it doesn't take up as much room. That's why it is going in our b

No problem! I figured I would get their black seed extract and test the thymoquinone content. I had my team buy 4 other black seed oils, too. We'll do the assay all together and see who passes.

Seems to be useless. I just look at one for a milk thistle product on their site. https://s3.images-iherb.com/cms/cgn-00956-itested-silymarin-complex-03_13_2020.pdf There are no assay results. It's just ID tested on a

All good things come in time. Remember, I am just a dude that became a moderator of /r/Nootropics, decided to start testing other companies products and calling them out, then decided to start a nootropics company doing

Definitely understood! That was more a general statement for everyone here reading, not specifically you. Sometimes I just need to publicly write my statements down to get them out; because while I put on a good facade,

I would assume a lot of them. Some people probably think certain plants or extracts are garbage, but they just got low quality ones when they tried it.

Remember, the people that own businesses are usually business people. They look at things as investments. Doing proper analytical chemistry and science is difficult, time-consuming, and very expensive. That investment is

Jarrow was 79%. Life Extension was 61%. We also do our sampling in triplicate, sample prep in triplicate, and do 3 separate runs on the testing. That way we can make sure there are no sampling, sample prep, or injection

We have tested some of their stuff in the past, and found issues. Also, Consumer Lab has tested their stuff and finds issues, too. We subscribe to Consumer Lab and read all their reports. [Here is a picture of their ALC
