Fiber product with the same flavoring as Focus XT. Bonus points if you bring back the old Black Cherry flavor.

Any specific type of fiber or fiber blend?

Oh, and I'll go ahead and say that I miss the old Black Cherry flavor too and as soon as we get the existing flavors back in stock, we are going to launch a couple new ones and Black Cherry is one of my top picks myself.

Flavors that we used to have in the original version that we don't have now are Black Cherry, Blackberry, Cotton Candy, and Berry Collision. I'm considering bringing them all back - I loved Blackberry, but may do it as Blackberry Mojito instead.

I currently use psyllium and acacia powder... so something along those lines maybe. Be curious what some others might think, I know theres some fibers that give people issues.

I went through a TON of that Black Cherry flavor back in the day... even that run where they ODed on the food coloring, which lead to some interesting colors coming out the other end. I guess that could actually be quite comical if it happened with a fiber supplement 😂

I rarely ventured from Pink Lemonade and Cotton Candy IIRC (or was it Blue Raspberry?). For most of my time in undergrad, I was finding it 2 tubs for $30 on these two flavors.

But I did give Black Cherry a go for a couple tubs, as well as Pina Colada. Never really had a bad flavor of Focus XT, therefore I just went with whatever was the cheapest

Prebiotic fiber would be good idea

G Fuel made an awesome Black on Blackberry a few years ago but I just can’t get over how pixie dusted the formula is, and seems to get worse every few months!

The problem with that one was the marketing. Muscle Fiber? Just seems like a desperate attempt to attach one marketing scheme to a totally different product

We're working on several really cool ideas for gut health and the biotic family. As of now, its looking to be at least 3 different product concepts.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately we won't be able to use that product because its a wheat based product and I have the non-celiac autoimmune allergy to gluten and I'm so sensitive to it that it could make me sick to even touch the bottle if there was any residue on it at all if I were to accidentally touch my mouth, nose, or eyes afterwards.

I'm open to doing a fiber supplement but it would just depend on what people wanted. It would have to be something unique to make it worth trying to do one and not just something basic that everyone else would have.

And yeah, the coloring on some of those batches was a bit much back then haha.

I loved the Black Cherry and Blackberry Focus XT's back then. I'm open to those again or to Blackberry Mojito (love that flavor) or Black Cherry Limeade.

I thought about Curcumin XT but Elite Curcumin is going to be extremely unique so I wanted to name it to where people would know it was a premium formulation product and not just see it and think it was a single ingredient one :)

Not a specific product, but rather would like more use of vegetarian capsules rather than gelatin

A lot of SNS products already use veg capsules but not all (for example ALCAR still uses gelatin). There are many vegetarian supplement consumers that would likely prefer vegetarian-friendly products. Ofc to be veg-friendly the ALCAR itself or other supplement ingredients should not be made from animal sources either

Will the inflammation supplement contain Nigella Sativa? That’s one of my favourite supplements especially if it’s standardised for thymoquinone :)

There are many vegetarian supplement consumers that would likely prefer vegetarian-friendly products. Ofc to be veg-friendly the ALCAR itself or other supplement ingredients should not be made from animal sources either
We are in the process of transitioning to Vegetable capsules for pretty much everything but its a process. The reason is that labels are normally ran in rolls of thousands of labels at a time and our labels show in the 'Other Ingredients' the correct information that relates to the capsule itself - gelatin or vegetable, any colors, etc. So as we run out of labels, we transition to Vegetable capsules on future runs.

This is one of those no win situations bc we have some people complain about products that aren't in Vegetable capsules but we also have a lot more people complain when we change capsule colors from what they're used to to white or clear and vegetable capsules are only available in white and clear.

Oh, and vegetable capsules are more porous so certain powders stick to them more so white vegetable capsules are more likely to appear discolored or leave residue on your hands. A great example was when we changed VASO6 capsules from gelatin to veggie capsules, the white capsules had a brownish tint to it and some people complained about that but its literally impossible for that not to have happened.

On your second point about ingredients themselves not being derived from animal sources - I'm not going to derail the thread or create any fuss for other companies, but you'd be amazed at the origin sources of some ingredients. 99% of people don't know what the origin sources or starter materials are and most companies don't do it on purpose or even know themselves, but I see products every day labeled as Vegetarian or Vegan friendly that the starter materials are of animal origin and I know that for sure bc in some cases there is actually no non-animal source for particular ingredient starter materials. I hope that makes sense.

That's kind of what I meant about it being a no win situation - many people prefer vegetable capsules over gelatin capsules but then a lot of people prefer colored capsules over white or clear. There's no in between because vegetable capsules only come in clear and white.

Yes, we have the formula finalized for an amino product. I'm trying to narrow the flavor options down to 3 to try to launch with so that we can get to work on flavor samples. Ideally, I'd like to launch it around the beginning of the year.

I don't use Energized Amino products. That's what PWO is for.
Energized Aminos is a very versatile product and can be used in a variety of ways, not just for pre-workout.

A lot of people use it in place of energy drinks as an energizer that just happens to have an amino boost in it and help with recovery.

But a lot of people use it pre-workout and it can be stacked in a lot of ways for that purpose:
  • Stimulant free pre-workouts are more popular than every and Energized Aminos can be added for an energy boost; and it gives a really nice clean energy feeling.
  • A lot of people do 1 scoop Energized Aminos with 1 scoop of Focus XT - which yields less than 300 mg. total caffeine and makes a great combination for increased mental focus, clarity, concentration, energy, and recovery.
  • Energized Aminos can be used at 1 to 3 scoops which allows the person to adjust the level of stimulation to their individual needs; but even for me, 2 to 3 scoops definitely qualifies as a pre-workout.
A lot of people don't realize it, but the category of amino energizing products is one of the most popular sports supplement categories. Optimum's Amino Energy really started this category and is one of the best selling sports supplements on the entire market. The category is very saturated now, but I think that Energized Aminos is a great product and one of, if not the best product in this class.

We already have Blood Pressure Support XT which is a great product for blood pressure, circulation, and overall cardiovascular health.

We also have Cardiovascular Support XT and Cholesterol Support XT coming up by the end of the year. Labels are done and they're in process; they just keep getting bumped back by trying to get inventory levels back right on the existing products. They're both going to be very solid formulas.

FYI I was checking on CEL to see if AE was back in stock and it is - furthermore, for anyone interested in combining AE + Ecdy Plex:

Thank you for sharing noticing.

I added a couple of new stack options to the website.

Anabolic Effect is back in stock and Epi-Plex just came back in stock and I'm getting ready to update it to show it back in stock.
Stano-Plex and M-Test arrived back in stock within the past 2 weeks as well.

That muscle addiction pump addict ultra hardcore profile is amazing just wish it didn't have rauwolscine
It should hopefully be back in stock within the next couple weeks.

Rauwolscine/Alpha Yohimbine is a no win situation for brands bc some people love it, some people hate it, and a lot of the people that think they hate it really haven't tried it to know if they hate it. What I mean by that is that many people assume that they aren't going to like it if they don't like regular Yohimbine but most people that don't respond well to regular Yohimbine respond fine to real Alpha Yohimbine. The problem is that there have been so many brands in the past (knowingly and unknowingly) that weren't using legit Alpha Yohimbine but were instead using a blend of Alpha Yohimbine and regular Yohimbine. I heard about this years ago because of the work I do on the raw material side of things and actually paid out of pocket to test a few brands (no one bother to ask, I won't say who) and that was definitely the case. Before that, I fell into the category of people that thought I didn't like it bc I'm so sensitive to regular Yohimbine and I'd tried a couple brands and was like - dang, this feels just like Yohimbine - and that's because it was or did have regular Yohimbine in it. That led to SNS doing the standalone Alpha Yohimbine capsule product, which a lot of people love.

There are still some people that don't respond well to real Rauwolscine/Alpha Yohimbine, but not nearly as many as that don't respond well to regular Yohimbine. And for the people that do respond well to it, its a great ingredient.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks appreciate the detailed response. You are correct it's regular yohimbine I had bad reaction to in the past which has me hesitant to try any other form. Still think I am going to order and try a very small perhaps half scoop serving to test it out. It's a very underrated preworkout never really hear it mentioned which has a perfect profile in my opinion (minus the rauwolscine lol) even one scoop is good for a lower stim option.
