Thanks for your feedback.

(1) Our 10x claim is on efficacy of absorption as for liquids typically easier to absorb than tablets or soft gels. I will submit that article soon. Apologize for not being clear.

(2) As for measurable health improvements we are collecting those data through our customers and research done with our advisors at the moment. We have some preliminary results but are currently under review. Happy to share that once it is published.

We would love to get into vitamin manufacturing as we do see this epidemic of not validating purity of vitamins happening further down the line. We are partnering with third parties to help us provide certificate of analysis for the supplements we purchase from our manufacturers.

Your website claims that the "elixirs" are made in San-Francisco but you fail to mention the origin of the vitamins. Anyone can go on Alibaba and buy this stuff in bulk ship it to California and claim that it was, made "unique to you in our SF lab".

Everything about this product sets off red flags; no mention of sourcing, zero certificates of analysis and no peer reviewed research.

The "science" section only covers 'freshness' and 'personalization'.

This seems like a stat padding exercise for YC.

Thanks for your feedback. We do the formulations in SF, and we have COAs for our distributors. Typically supplement companies don't tell you who their distributors actually are. Our filter for distributors and manufacturers are purity levels - and you're right, this information is currently not on our site. We've been working hard on meeting customer needs directly as priority first, but we've realized how much communication is lacking. Thanks for bringing attention to what information you'd like to see on our site.
What do you mean by "typically" easier to absorb?

Do you have any scientific research to back up that claim?
