Why such a huge difference in pricing for Agmatine capsule vs powder?

25$ for 30g encapsulated VS 18$ for 125g loose powder seems like a huge difference to me. There isn't such a big difference for other products I buy.
You pay 38% more for 76% less quantity...
Why? I hate dealing with powders, but the price difference is gonna force me to on this one :(

BTW, for me as an international customer who has to pay customs frequently, more capsules per bottle mean fewer bottles per shipment or fewer shipments per month, which translate into lower shipping costs and less explaining at the customs office. For the things I use regularly, even 180 capsule bottles will be my choice instead of 120 ones. I will probably end up buying more things to fill the emptiness, though :)

It gets pretty complex with international, as some countries limit how much you can import of certain things. Take Canada for example. They limit certain things to a 90 day supply. So if you were to buy a 180ct phenibut capsule bottle, and they decided to inspect and hold to that rule, they might reject it because of that. It's rare, but it can happen. Other countries have different rules. We try to stay up on as many as we can, but we literally have customers in over 100 countries. So it is impossible for us to know every country's rules. We generally are reactive on most, and only make changes when we start to see problems. However, we are proactive on our main international countries like Canada, UK, Australia, France, etc. So when we are making sizing decisions, sometimes we take into account a lot of other factors that most people would not realize. That should not be an issue with agmatine, though. It's considered a supplement, so it does not fall under that 90 day rule. However, we won't really know for sure about how it will affect all countries till we try.
