We have toyed around with the idea before. However, the issue is twofold: risk and cost. It is a bit riskier to have pure caffeine tablets, especially after the FDA actions taken a few years ago. Also, it is hard to compete on cost for simple anhydrous caffeine. Our fixed manufacturing and packaging costs are higher than some, because we do a lot in-house with expensive labor and facilities. It's difficult to amortize those higher costs on an inexpensive ingredient like caffeine. For a product that costs what caffeine does, usually we would have to do larger counts to amortize it efficiently. This means things like 365ct bottles, like we do with vitamin D3/K2. However, selling a year's supply of caffeine then puts the risk higher. It's tough to balance.
