How is the microcrystalline cellulose Sourced in these products?
Why is it necessary to include microcrystalline cellulose as a filler?
Is microcrystalline cellulose in all products from nootropicsdepot.com?
I found the following about microcrystalline cellulose:
"Our cells cannot stop the micro-nano particles from entering them, and once there, these particles, especially from cellulose from wood, which is what Microcrystalline Cellulose comes from, are not able to be absorbed, but float in and out of the cell membranes, and basically clog up tiny places in our bodies, bio-accumulating as we ingest more, and cause background inflammation to rise."

Otherwise it appears to be considered safe for the most part when I search Google. The quoted text in this post raises some concern, so I am inquiring for more knowledge.

Suggestion for a video: Similar to your lab tour video, it would be cool to see a video of encapsulation so we can point to the video whenever the issue comes up.
Also, all the competitors that claim "no fillers" using contract manufacturing couldn't film anything similar showing they don't use fillers because they don't have the in-house facilities.

They'll just lie more, and most consumers will believe them. It takes 10X more effort to educate consumers and convince them they have been lied to than it takes for the brands to actually lie to them. Most consumers don't care enough to read about it, and the ones that do don't know who to trust anyway. This is 11 years of me trying this strategy to educate consumers now. Short of a small group of people here on Reddit, that's been a failure. People don't respond to negative messaging, and that's the core of what I have been saying this whole time. I am PISSED about the state of the industry, and the fraud happening every day. You can feel it in my responses. However, that has been counterproductive. Shoot the messenger is a saying because that's what people do. People don't like to hear bad news, so they associate the negative feelings they get from a situation with the person that shared it with them. That's what has happened with me. Many people do it subconsciously. They don't really know why, but they have a negative view of me because of the methods I use to try and get information out to people. I rub them the wrong way. It's because of the polarizing nature of the topics I bring up and the tone in which I do it. It has been counterproductive to my mission, honestly. This is why I am trying to move away from that to a more positive messaging.
