Super satisfied customer, just one small nitpick

I love ND products. I am a repeat customer and will remain so. The only little nitpick I can find that I think you guys can improve upon is that I picked up the 200 mg caffeine/100 mg theanine caps and half of the cap is coloured with Red #40 and #3. C'mon guys, using azo dyes in supplements? A lot of us avoid that shit even if they aren't yet linked to negative health outcomes. I will finish my bottle since you guys nailed the doses and I'm not \too\ worried, but I will seek an alternative for my next caffeine supp purchase unless you stop using azo dyes in the caps.
\*edited to say that this is also a great reminder of 'buyer beware' - ND has been SO good with not including sketchy ingredients in the vast majority of their products that I got overconfident and bought these without even reading the ingredients as I would with almost any other brand. That is of course my careless mistake.
What they were answering

Huh TIL. I could have sworn that a bunch of AZO dyes were banned in the EU, looks like they just have a warning label on them.

Trust me, we have gone through all of this in detail. We don't just include things and hope for the best. All the dyes we use are approved in both the US and the EU. Also, the amounts used in the shells are so small. They are practically meaningless. I wrote a longer response above.
