What is happening with ND?

It feels like this community is dying. It has now been 180 days since the last products were released - it feels like there is no hype because there are virtually no releases. u/pretty-chill recently said the new bottles are 1-3 months out - if 3 months, and assuming the fiber is released the same day as the new bottles, that would be at least 9 month since the last release.
Are we simply not going to see new releases in the future at the rate we have in the past?

Why do you not test for ginkgolic acid at all?
Really? Where did he answer the question? And be specific.
I literally asked the question 3 times and he dodged it every time.

We don't test for ginkgolic acids because it is not part of the Merieux testing panel. We send off Ginkgo to Merieux for testing.
Here is a COA from them on it.
We don't sell enough Ginkgo to justify putting a lot of internal R&D resources into expanding the analytes we are looking at. EGb 761 is literally the same thing as our extract. It's the exact same standardization. It's just an extract made by Dr. Willmar Schwabe Pharmaceuticals and given that name. It's the same thing as ours, though.
This is the EGb 761 standardization: 22.0–27.0% flavone glycosides and 5.4–6.6% terpene lactones (2.8–3.4% ginkgolides A, B, C, and 2.6–3.2% bilobalide)
You can see by the Merieux COA that is what our is as well. We just explicitly put kaempferol glycosides as our standardization instead of quoting the larger total flavone glycoside number, and we set a not less then spec of 2% bilobalide instead of giving a range, but ours is basically the same extract as EGb 761.
Not sure where you get the idea that us not breaking out every single analyte on COAs means we are not transparent, though. I don't know of a single competitor that sells Ginkgo that breaks out the full quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, ginkgolides, bilobalide, and ginkgolic acid levels broken down from batch to batch. Can you link me someone that breaks all those out for you batch-by-batch on their COAs?
