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.

I'd actually love ND to go the opposite direction and make custom color variations for all capsule products, like with Natrium. If I put multiple products in a pill box, it'd be really cool to differentiate not only two different dosages of the same product, but all products.
Btw regarding Natrium, you mentioned a while ago that most people buy Natrium products via ND. Will the Natrium product line be absorbed and relabeled as ND eventually?
And how long until the release of the Natrium mister happy stack? :)

I love the ability to tell the difference with things, too! Just the other day I found a caffeine/L-theanine capsule I had left in the little pocket in my shorts. It was half red, so I immediately knew what it was. The clear capsules I would just have to guess, so I will usually throw them away if I find them. No sense in guess it was Microzinc when it was actually caffeine/L-theanine.
Natrium Health will say as that brand. No sense in changing now. It's just mostly sold on ND, which is fine.
The Mr Happy version is done and approved at our facility. We are waiting on labels. There are big delays on label printing right now, so we are likely bringing that one in-house, too. We have some sample printed on a new printer that should be here tomorrow. If we like them, we are going to buy the printers and start doing Natrium stuff in-house. The first will be our Mr Happy stack.
