  • Question about your supplements` composition

    Hi guys,
    please don`t take this question in the wrong way but as a supplement user i like knowing the total amounts of my supplements`components so i have to ask you guys why do you resort to blends?
    I understand that it may be to protect your formulas and all but i think that it also detracts many advanced users from using your products since they can`t figure out the dosage used on each ingredient.
    Hope you guys don`t mind me asking this but i was just wondering since me and alot of friends of mind haven`t picked any of your supps due to this fact and, i believe, that this may be the case with many other people.

    That is a fair question and you hit the nail right on the head. We, like 90%+ of the supplement companies out there, use the blends to protect the formula. if we gave the blend out precisely, there would be nothing at all we could do about another company coming in and using our exact formula and undercutting us on price. It’s one of the few ways a supplement company can protect itself in this industry where it is nearly impossible to get protection of ones formula.

      So there isnt away to patent the forumula? For example like pepsi or coke, aren't there patents on the "forumula" for that?

      Or is it way too expensive?

          Believe me that i understand your position, however, speaking on my behalf, i can`t seem to trust a supplement that i can`t account for the igredients` dosing in order to judge their dose.

            The thing to keep in mind when reading supplement labels is that while it is a proprietary formula you can use your basic math and fda labeling laws to figure out if you are getting an effective dosing.

            For example, FDA requires that within a blend you list ingredients in order of 'most to least'. Also, some ingredients are used in pretty much standard dosages. For example, caffeine. Most supplement companies do not exceed 200-225mg per dosage. So if caffeine is the 2nd ingredient listed it is a pretty safe bet that all of the other ingredients are less than it.

            I can attest that controlled labs uses only effective blends and we are constantly working to see if there is any way to improve the quality of our products.

            The only way to be sure about a supplement IMO is to try if.
