The tablets are all out of stock... I used this in 2019 and it added a significant effect to weight loss / body recomp, then I kept forgetting to buy it.
If I buy the powder instead, how much piperine powder do I need to add?
Or are the Epicatechin tablets enteric?
thx

Both our tablet presses were taken down by parts breaking, so we have been scrambling to fix them. I gave them the go ahead to move epicatechin/piperine to capsules for now to get them back in stock. We will be moving some of our tablet products over to capsules. We had planned on moving to enteric capsules, but the only supplier we found that passed our testing has stopped production, due to the tariffs and supply chain disruptions surrounding them. I think what a lot of people don't realize with the tariff situation is that container ship traffic dropped 80% from China, due to the uncertainty around the tariffs. This means the normal flow of both intermediate goods and the containers themselves has been thrown into anarchy. So even products that are not directly affected by the tariffs are going to be affected by the supply chain disruptions. If we don't get some clarity soon on things, it's going to get very messy very quickly. The court stopping the tariffs made everyone breath easy for a minute, but then an appeals court reversed that, and allowed the tariffs to stay in place while the Trump admin is appealing. Because of this, companies are just ceasing shipping and production of things till there is clarity, because nobody wants to pay 55% tariffs, then the next day have them removed and get screwed.
