iHerb wants way too much margins. Our overhead is too high to be able to make those numbers work
Yeah I know, just ignore me man haha. I just miss ND everytime I buy something on iHerb so you could say this is my way of venting, I get endorphins everytime I mention iHerb on here lol
Admittedly, I took the absolute hardest path possible. However, I just don't trust anyone anymore. Half the reason I am still doing this is because I want access to novel products myself, and I only trust things if I can personally oversee every step.
The fact that you took the hardest path is why we trust your company, and all the bullshit you saw that made you take the hardest path is why many of us also distrust most supplement brands. If it were not for you speaking up about what you see in the industry and other companies not liking what you say, I would still be buying the cheapest brands for plant extracts, thinking that there's probably some regulations that ensures a supplement contains what the label says it contains, like in the pharmaceutical industry.
Poria was stuck in customs, but I think it might have cleared now. I think they should be making some more powder jars, but it will be a couple weeks before they are back up.
Nice! I'll wait then.

The sad part is that everyone in the industry that I talk to in the background agrees with me. They all see how bullshit most of the brands are. However, most people are too afraid to speak up about it, for fear that it will just cause more problems for the industry. My position is that it is worse for the industry if everyone brushes it under the rug and lets it continue to happen. Sometimes you need to break some eggs to make an omelette. The industry will be stronger once we get people to grow some balls and help kick the bad actors out of it.
