Product suggestion: mushroom blend?

You removed your other comment before I could click send, but I wanted to address it still. We are in the middle of the worst pandemic in 100 years. We have a massive labor shortage, and the supply chain is more fucked than it has ever been in recent history. Talk to anyone that has ordered equipment or raw materials in the past year how their life has been. All of these products we have just released were supposed to come out Q1/Q2 of last year. It has taken us this long to finally work through it all. Also, all the stuff we have recently released is not "just different variants of the same product over and over again with just higher price points."

This is what we released in the last year:

* Reduced Glutathione- New
* Sesame capsules- Technically not new, as the powder was put up December 2020
* Cyracos 300mg- Different dose. Not new
* Sibelius Sage- In capsules now, but was release last Jan in powder
* Baikal Skullcap- New
* Kava- New
* Nobiletin- New
* AvailOM High DHA- New
* Cistanche tubulosa- New
* Ginkgo Biloba- New
* Andrographis capsules- Not new, as we already sold the powder
* Berberine HCL + Silymarin Tablets- New
* Tart Cherry Tablets- New in tablets, but not totally new
* Sabroxy- All new
* Vitamin D3 + K2- All new
* 4’-DMA-7,8-DHF- All new
* High Potency Milk Thistle Capsules- Not all new, as we had milt thistle in powder already.

So how are those just different variants of the same thing for more money? That's a lot of new products to put up in the middle of a massively challenging year. Sure, not nearly as much as I had hoped, but it is not like we were just sitting around doing nothing. Nobody wants to release things quickly more than I do. I try to push my team every day on that. However, I can honestly say that last year was the most challenging of my entire life. I think many on my team would echo that sentiment. Everything that could go wrong last year did. We tried to push forward as best we could, but luck was not on our side. Even still, I think we did okay with new stuff.

Luckily we are slowly getting back to an okay place. We had some equipment arrive and get up and running in Q2, which helped us to alleviate the backlog. However, it took till a few weeks ago for us to get the automated tablet press up and running, because the people that promised us to ship, install, and train us "in two weeks" took 3 months instead. Then a part on it was damaged, so we had to replace that. Then the granulation machine they sold us did not work how they said, so we had to shift to another process. That's finally up and running now, though. Now we have four more capsule filling machines on a ship heading to us right now, along with new mixers, polishers, de-dusters, and all the equipment we need to effectively 2-3X our production capacity. We also have a fully automated packing line on that ship, too. So we are finally seeing some positive movement for us to be able to take control of things. Our partners are still fucking us, though. It's been almost two months since one of them told us we would be getting "two finished tablet runs a week." Spoiler alert, we have gotten two in two months... So the only real path forward for our release schedule is doing it in-house. Everyone outside our company that we rely on falls through for us, so we just can't rely on anyone anymore. Ohh well, I like having my team do everything anyway.

So yes, we will be releasing mushroom stacks. Give us a little time to get things efficiently moving again. Barring the BA.2 variant or a totally new one fucking us again, we should be much better this year. My plan is to release at least double the amount we did last year. Only time will tell if we can accomplish that, though. I am crossing my fingers this year will be a better year than either 2020 or 2021.
