I'm positive they can't do $22.99. I think that's simply beyond them--they're not miracle workers, after all!! It would be unfair to ask them to shoot for a price so clearly unobtainable by them!!
 
Shhhhhh, see, here's the part where you're suppose to add something like, "But there's not a chance in hell they'll price it at $20.95, that's clearly impossible."
 
$19.99 woUld be really cool, you know, to break the $20 mark, but they could never do that!
 
Is there any reason why you guys didn't stuff all that into a gelcap (such as the Cap-Em-Quick gellies) to ensure perfect disintegration?
Also, why so little magnesium?
And why use ergocalciferol instead of cholecalciferol?

The case against ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) as a vitamin supplement.

Supplemental vitamin D is available in 2 distinct forms: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Pharmacopoeias have officially regarded these 2 forms as equivalent and interchangeable, yet this presumption of equivalence is based on studies of rickets prevention in infants conducted 70 y ago. The emergence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D as a measure of vitamin D status provides an objective, quantitative measure of the biological response to vitamin D administration. As a result, vitamin D3 has proven to be the more potent form of vitamin D in all primate species, including humans. Despite an emerging body of evidence suggesting several plausible explanations for the greater bioefficacy of vitamin D3, the form of vitamin D used in major preparations of prescriptions in North America is vitamin D2. The case that vitamin D2 should no longer be considered equivalent to vitamin D3 is based on differences in their efficacy at raising serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, diminished binding of vitamin D2 metabolites to vitamin D binding protein in plasma, and a nonphysiologic metabolism and shorter shelf life of vitamin D2. Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, should not be regarded as a nutrient suitable for supplementation or fortification.

tablets are better for vitamins since they break down over a longer period (orange triad take a bit longer than 1 hours to full break down) while capsules break down in a matter of 5-10 minutes. to fit more magnesium in it would take an additional pill, we already have 6 per serving. most other multis have the same or less. people get plenty of magnesium from diet and from products like green magnitude.
