Tart Cherry 🍒 comparison?

So im a little bored and curious. I'm sure that the cheaper brand is lacking a little as far as purity goes, but my question is why is the CVS brand so much lighter and non reactive to water the way that ND's is? Does it have to do with purity or ingredient?
CVS (cerasus pseudocerasus)
"From 250mg of a 4:1 extract"
***each capsule 1000mg
ND (cerasus vulgaris)

Our tart cherry is the most potent in the world. It has more anthocyanins than any other tart cherry we tested, and it was not even close. The next closest one on the market to ours had 4.3% the anthocyanins of ours. I don't mean 4.3% anthocyanins, either. I mean 4.3% compared to ours. That means ours had 22 times the concentration of theirs, and that was the most potent competitor we tested. Anthocyanins are what give that dark purple pigment. We did not test CVS, but I would bet theirs is very very low, as most of the sample we tested were. For example, Life Extension had 0.16% the anthocyanins as us... That's not a typo. The peak area for their sample was 5,726. The peak area for ours was 3,519,937! So when I say ours is the most potent in the world, I am not talking by just a little. You could take all the competitor samples we tested together combined, and you would still get far more anthocyanins with one capsule of ours.
