People have been beating down my door for us to offer this for years. Literally over 3 years I have had people asking me to offer it. I told people "soon" over a year ago, but we have to develop our own analytical method

No, it is not harmful. Also, the EGCG issues are extremely rare. Like insanely rare. EGCG and green tea has been used by millions of people for thousands of years. There are only a handful of reported cases of liver issu

It refers to the specific diastereoisomer it is in. Catechin has 4 diastereoisomers: * (+)-catechin (2R,3S) * (-)-catechin (2S,3R) * (-)-epicatechin (2R,3R) * (+)-epicatechin (2S,3S) What we are selling is the 2R,3R fo

When you have a plant extract, getting to 99% is expensive. It's so much more expensive to get that last 9% that it is rarely economically justifiable. This is why our hesperidin is a 90% as well. I am going to make up n

I just noticed it was Nov 3rd 2017 when you made that post. So that is THREE years!

Yeah, the first study was a bit of a letdown. It still discussed the mechanisms. https://www.nmd-journal.com/article/S0960-8966(15)00637-9/abstract https://www.pnas.org/content/103/4/1024.short https://academic.oup.c

The supplement facts panel has to be that way for FDA regulations. It has to list the species and plant part it was made from for botanical extracts. It's a *Camellia sinensis* leaf extract standardized to 90% (-)-epicat

Ahh yes, the Belgian Blue! They are absolute units. You will not become a Belgian Blue with (-)-epicatechin.

It is similar to the other tea catechins. So bioavailability is fine, but can be improved. We are going to be releasing enteric coated tablets of (-)-epicatechin with piperine as well. That will address the bioavailabili

We just put up an insanely potent tart cherry extract. https://nootropicsdepot.com/tart-cherry-extract-powder/

Yeah, that's why it is delayed. This is why I approved the release of the powder now. Our coating equipment is not here yet, and China is taking forever on all our new equipment. It's frustrating.

>so I'm guessing this is an exercise related supplement possibly recovery? It's amazing for inflammation, pain, and uric acid issues. I got turned onto it because my joints would hurt after drinking beer. It turns out t

You'll have to do it the old fashioned way: selectively breeding your offspring for a few generations.

45 days was their optimistic estimate. We are not going to meet that. The shit has not even left China yet. We are trying every day to push things along, but the Chinese government has put shipping restrictions on everyo

Well the powder doesn't have piperine. Also, the tablets we are making are enteric coated, and most people's issues with piperine are due to stomach problems. So the enteric coated should prevent that, like in our EGCG t

Yep... Then we have to pay our government the tariffs once they arrive here. Add another 25% to the cost of the machines that we have to pay our own government while they lie to everyone and say China is paying. That's a

(-)-Epicatechin is stable in an acidic pH, so it should be fine in coffee. Coffee is acidic. >Also how important is twice daily dosing? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4357542/ Plasma follistatin levels

That's why it's hilarious when our government tries to convince us that inflation has been low the past 10 years. BULLSHIT!

Not surprising. Try and do this with anything you buy. It will rapidly make you realize everyone you are buying stuff from is full of shit. They don't even know how to properly test their stuff, much less are testing eve

The study above used 50mg twice a day. 200mg twice a day would be fine, too. It would just be a stronger effect.
