if they are teaming up with H T, then having another completely different brand (although under the same roof) selling almost the same ingredient profile, will cause one to have lower sales. obviously, the major owner would want to keep the original formula and change the other.
you want (example a,b,c in your pwo) then look for product x, not product v,w,x,y,z-
HT is also coming out with a dmaa free version of of the chain- which looks good and looks like they are keeping O T C dmaa as well. so you still have it for your pwo- doubt they are going to push away with this, especially after the long battles they went through to get this.
