ND & Greg Doucette Partnership…

Gotta keep you all on your toes! Honestly, it's not something I was expecting either. However, my main mission has always been to force this industry to take lab testing and quality control seriously. I've always tried t

I offered for Derek to come to our lab, and to help with the science, last time. I offered that to any brands willing to reach out to me to try and fix things. Greg, and the team at HTLT, were the only ones that put thei

If you actually care about the values I have built this company around, you will be very pleased with the episode. This is about science and lab testing, and someone actually taking our results last time and doing someth

You can thank Uncle Sam for that more than anything. However, my main mission has always been about the science and lab testing. Always. This episode is all about that. If you care about lab data and science, you will en

You are correct. Greg, and the team at HTLT, were the only ones to not attack me after I released the results last time. They were the only ones to admit our science seemed legit, and that they needed to go back to the d

I see my partnership wording is being taken out of context. Collaboration would be a better term. This is about lab testing regarding turkesterone. We are not partnering with HTLT on a product. It's about pushing proper

I am willing to work with anyone that seriously wants to put lab testing and science at the forefront. We tested Greg's product last time and it failed. However, he was the only one that didn't attack me and try to muddy

If people want me to just keep being the cynical asshole screaming about all the fake products on the market, but not changing a single damn thing about this industry, then I think their priorities are off. This is the e

No, this is just about updated lab testing and science data surrounding turkesterone. I don't get to decide which brands take lab testing seriously. The brands themselves do. Greg decided to with their turkesterone. They

You certainly don't need to care. However, we are releasing a bunch of updated lab data on turkesterone on the podcast, and our science director Ellie is going to be discussing it. Greg and his team are on the podcast, b

Like it or not, Greg is a controversial figure. Controversial figures lead to people jumping to conclusions. I get why people are having this knee jerk reaction. I fully expected it. However, the facts are the facts. The

I care about the science, lab testing, and research and development. Doing that right costs a LOT of money. Like it or not, we have to fund those operations. The fitness and bodybuilding supplements actually sell. It doe

It's Glenn Beck... Sorry, Gregory Peck.

I don't want to spoil too much, but I honestly don't think the molecule turkesterone is doing a whole hell of a lot. The levels out there are too low, and it is basically the same structure as beta-ecdysterone, which our

Then you will love this podcast! We actually kill a mockingbird on it.

Hell, if we could just get some more eyes on what we are trying to do, and why people should care about this shit, then it is worth it. Sometimes it feels like I am screaming into the void. Sometimes I get so frustrated

Comment · Thu, January 2, 2025 · 6 pts

All I care about is the science and lab data. I care about whether they are selling a product that is what they say it is, and have done the appropriate steps to prove that. I'll let everyone else handle the other drama

Comment · Thu, January 2, 2025 · 7 pts

Yeah, so far Greg has been a normal dude. People's online personas are rarely who they are in private.

My ops team plead with me to allow them to move away from slow selling SKUs. Most powders just don't sell well, so we are being more selective, and usually only doing a single size of a powder if we do it.

Sure, Greg is not really a science guy. However, he did hire people that are. Marwan at HTLT was the one leading this particular push. He is going to be on the podcast as well. I don't expect everyone to be science exper

BPC-157 does have some systemic effects. However, the extent of that has been overblown by shady publications in predatory open access journals. I've actually used BPC-157 to heal from multiple tendon and ligament tears.

BPC-157 does have some systemic effects, but the extent of that has been overblown by people trying to sell it to people. The bulk of the high quality research on its oral effects are focused on things like IBS and prote

As you should be. We will discuss that on the podcast. I think all the focus on turkesterone as a molecule is missing the forest for the trees. We think the real unique effects from Ajuga turkestanica are from different

I don't think so, but I will check with my team.

Ohh yeah, we did a lot of advanced stuff on Ceretropic. We developed a lot of novel things that had never been done before. Alexander Shulgin's efforts inspired me a lot, so I did similar bioassaying efforts. I created c

The one I am referring to was targeting ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). It is the most nootropic peptide I have ever taken. I actually named it CEN-1 as a working name.

For sure. I totally get the reaction, and I do appreciate that people hold us to a much higher standard. However, I think everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised when they watch the podcast.

There's no way he would agree to it. LOL

Well we collaborated on more than just a podcast interview. We've been working in the background for a while to get botanical reference materials into the country from Uzbekistan, and on lab testing methods and validatio

He did threaten to sue us a few years back because we mentioned his name in one of our product descriptions. LOL

Comment · Fri, January 3, 2025 · 8 pts

Ehh, probably not. I honestly don't think the molecule turkesterone is all that interesting in and of itself. The plant Ajuga turkestanica does seem interesting, though. I just think it is interesting for compounds other

Ecklonia cava is on track for a release in Q1!

Probably not with the way our systems are set up. However, maybe there is a way we can let people know we offer it in powders on the capsule page, then link the powder page for people to know. AAKG is a pretty high dose

I was going to call BS, but it looks like you are right. Uzbekistan does have the highest testosterone levels! https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/testosterone-levels-by-country

Comment · Sat, January 4, 2025 · 8 pts

No, we can certainly encapsulate AAKG. Now that I think of it, maybe we should look into some other AKG salts. Potassium AKG would be a good one to get some potassium and higher AKG levels at a lower dose.

I do think it has that effect, similar to beta-ecdysterone. However, the levels we are seeing are too low to be clinically significant at the doses being used, IMO. Just look at the structures. [Beta-ecdysterone](https:

I personally take our L-arginine and L-citrulline together all the time. I have not tried switching out the arginine for AAKG, though. I will have to try it!

I was disappointed in Danica's decision as well.
