I remember you mentioning there may several, mostly shady, reasons for NOW and other companies being able to sell trademarked supplements like Magtein and Longvida at such a lower price than you.
However, your new discovery makes me wonder if they simply have less ingredients, since you already reject trademarked batches sometimes from the original suppliers.
NOW's Magtein and Longvida are actually the only two things I buy outside of ND because of the price difference, but if you could test for purity for these two compared to the shipments you get, I'd be super happy to jump ship. Honestly, I really should do that anyways in order to support genuine business practices...

Ohh no, I am not accusing NOW of that. I am accusing a lot of the nobody brands on Amazon of that, but I highly doubt NOW is cutting the product. I mean, with the recent data I guess I should reassess the possibility. However, I am not accusing them of it. They are selling below MAP, though. That's in violation of AIDP's rules, which we are following. So right now multiple big companies, like NOW and Jarrow, are violating the TMLA rules we all had to sign to sell Magtein. AIDP has alerted those brands that they are in violation of the rules, and so far they have not done anything to fix it. So AIDP is getting upset with them. We all signed the same agreements allowing us to sell Magtein, and it is not fair that we are the only ones following the rules.
I can get some of theirs to run through the lab, though. Perhaps they are under-filled. I'll have to get some lab data to say for sure. After the last few results we have gotten, I would not be too terribly surprised to see they were low. I did test some other brands Magtein capsules, and they were low. So I guess I should not write off the possibility.
