May have gotten a little warm/moisture in the container. I don't believe it affects efficacy, but I'll let a Nimbus rep answer that one.

I had a similar occurance happen to mine, it was on top of my computer for a period of time, still seems to work. It doesn't fizz as much but I do still get a sick niacin flush.

I am sure even with the small black particles it will still work. I have had that in other supps (ie: white particles in choc. protein) still responded the same way

Any idea what the small black particles might be; oxidized ingredient or possibly mold?

That happened to mine too, I have no idea what could have caused it. First it clumped, then I removed it and put it in an air tight ziploc bag, then it turned dark brown/almost black, so I tossed it.

Oxidation is the cause for the color change. When the water soluable vitamins come in contact with moisture they have a tendency to undergo variable chemical reactions that can cause particle discoloration, depending on the amount of moisture available for oxidation.

Was it a 450g tub? I just sent back my second tub to Nutra. I have not had a problem with the larger tubs, though.

They're very reputable, man. Nutra has taken care of the problems that I've run in to. Nimbus is a great company; one of the more trust-worthy ones out.

No cause for concerns my friend, a large portion of the 450gram containers lacked the moisture packs that are now in place with the newer 900gr containers. Basically, the addition of the packets have made it possible to ship the product year round(even in the humid summer heat of Georgia) without worry of clumping.

We pride ourselves on our reputation and product realiability. The folks at Nimbus try very, very hard to put out products that will work and work well. Once the moisture exposure became a problem, due diligence was paid in solving the problem immediately. We value the continued support that you and other customers have shown us over the past couple of years.

Thanks for the kind words my friend. Glad the good folks at NP took care of you.
