Bulk B5 / Pantothenic Acid - different than competitors'?

[methusaleh]

I just started my first bulk jar of B5 from you guys. I had previously used some from a competitor of yours, but I don't do business with them anymore since you guys are 1000x better.

Anyhow, yours is very different, and frankly I'm wondering if I got a bad batch or something.

Yours: off-white/cream-colored, lots of small clumps, horrible bitter taste like vomit

Theirs: white, very very fine powder, never clumps, moderate acidic taste (very tolerable)

Is this normal for the product you guys carry?

Did you get 'the other guys' house brand or Now brand. I experienced a big difference when someone I used to get it from started carrying his 'own brand' bulk powder.

It was their house brand, you know, the place where nutritional things are sold in bulk Not sure where they got it from, but I never tried Now's B5...
