You want my advice: just reformulate with vit c and egcg. Both cost pennies as raws, and it's worth it even if the difference is minimal
TBH we are not even testing EGCG. Youll understand why of course if and when you see the actual formula.
There are several.
Some very interesting things though. Considering your interest in the GI tract and absorption you would be very interested in the research being done.
Keeping in mind its not just my mind on this. I have friends whos chem/bio knowledge makes mine look like a third graders.
Honestly I wish we were a bit closer because your input would be valuable as well.
Vit C is almost free so itll be tested. We are subbing EGCG for something else. Keep in mind having the whole studies pays off in these cases...well all cases.
EGCG looks great in the abstract but the % is very low. I think 50% which sounds good but not in comparison to others.
I think we can achieve 5x increase in absorption.
Testing will start next week as test raws have shipped to me.
We will likely run some trials using previous trial members so we have a sort of control example with them at the same dose.
Then we can track their weight and strength as we did before and see how it differs.
It looks like at some point (-)-epi begins to be absorbed better than at lower doses. Looking at the results from 200-400mg I cant imagine it getting better...
But I have all of our previous trial data and all of our testers are like crazed to test new stuff from me so I doubt there will be any shortage of volunteers.
Wow....whats in this coffee O_O
