Why is Micromag so expensive?

Comment · Fri, March 26, 2021 · 32 pts

I honestly don't think we have done a pricing assessment since we launched the product in 2018. I believe our costs have come down on it, but then the pandemic hit. The sucrosomial minerals are made for us in Italy, whic

Yeah, we test every ingredient the same, even if it is patented. We don't just trust those suppliers because they hold the patent. We empirically validate that the sucrosomial magnesium and zinc are meeting our specs. We

100%! We test everything to death. Hell, you saw all we did with Shoden before I was even okay launching it. We worked with them for a year on very detailed lab analysis to ensure their claims were valid. I didn't want t

I'll have to take a look at the zinc situation on Monday. It could apply too. I'll have to check. 30mg elemental zinc is WAAAAAY too high, though. RDI for men is 11mg/day, and it is 8mg/day for women. Giving people 2.7-3

Negative. Magtein costs us a lot from the manufacturer. It's very expensive, and they won't lower the pricing. We have tried many times. There are people selling it BELOW OUR COST. I'll leave you to determine if that is

A larger size could definitely be something we do. I am glad people are liking our 365ct D3. It just makes sense for something you take daily; especially as packaging costs keep increasing.

I can't really openly comment on who I think is doing or not, otherwise I'll just cause more legal trouble. Generic magnesium L-threonate is not always fully chelated. You'll find the generic doesn't fully dissolve in wa

My pleasure! Glad to shed some light on things.

Yeah, we were having trouble finding a source that met our specs for costs that we could be competitive with.

LOL, more than a chance. We just have to wait 9 years!

It's a size 3 capsule.

Curcumin/piperine we sell in 180ct right now. I can talk to the team about a larger Microzinc bottle, though. That's a good fit for a larger size.

Ohh, got it. Yeah, I will speak to the team about a larger Longvida size. It's my pleasure! Thanks for the support!

Why overdose something when you don't need to? Plus, people get upset stomachs with zinc as it is. Having a dose be 2-4X RDI just makes that worse. I suppose you could just have a higher dose of Microzinc, and tell peopl

I can definitely look into zinc citrate as a lower cost option.

Possibly. However, I'd have to check on the cost.
