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.
