Thanks for you candidness. We definitely do realize that we need more content on our website about our process and we are looking for more feedback.

It sounds like what you're looking for is more scientific research to back our claims.

As a PhD myself, it's been hard to not get tangled in the technical details and learn how to convey a simply but very informative information the public.

As for thiamine available in food, my PhD was studying thiamine production in plants and it's heavily regulated depending on what's available in the environment. Even then I've seen people thiamine deficiency in developed countries, which is sad really because people just don't eat properly.

And this is becoming more common with Americans not meeting their RDA (see references below)
