not at all and so and they're like they apologize oh there must be something wrong with the batch we'll give you a new one so we're testing it again another batch pretty soon but companies don't do this dylan they trust the c of a from the company that uh that that is getting that's giving them the ingredient right and so they're not taking it to the next level and checking to see if it's actually what is in that what it says it is right and so we were really this is we were emphatic about this when we started making our product so we don't just trust ingredients that come in

from our suppliers. We test everything. And this includes methylene blue. And this is why we've had to throw out thousands of dollars worth of material in the past because it didn't meet our specifications. And the other aspect of it is not only is it From a purity perspective, the heavy metal contaminants, that's also a potency issue too.

Most of the products that we tested on the market did not meet their label claim, especially if they were liquids. So we didn't test any of the tablets because those are relatively new. But from a label claim perspective, if you're taking a dropper,

First of all, do not ask me if you're taking the right amount if you're telling me you take 10 drops a day because I have no fucking clue how much methylene blue you're taking. Oh my gosh. And this is the problem, right? Methylene blue in a dropper form is very difficult to dose. Overall, almost all of the liquids that we tested were less potent than it said on the label.

And this is the problem, right? Methylene blue in a dropper form is very difficult to dose. Overall, almost all of the liquids that we tested were less potent than it said on the label.
So if it said you were getting one milligram in a drop or whatever, you were really getting like 70 or 60 milligrams or maybe 80 milligrams in the drop at most. There was one company actually that 125% more. So it was actually even more per drop than it was supposed to be. So it's across the map. And so liquids are very difficult to maintain a consistent milligram dose per drop.

So you really don't know how much liquid you're taking if you're taking liquid. And we had a couple of people, especially maybe two or three years ago now, telling us about taking the liquid and then taking our trochies, our And ours was significantly more potent and stronger at the same dose. And it's because it really wasn't the same dose.

And it's because it really wasn't the same dose.
Ours was actually the dose that was on the label because we test everything. And we do it like a pharmaceutical company. I'm a physician. You know this, Dylan. I work with physicians. We wanted to make our products, the trochees, as precision-dosed and pharmaceutical-grade as possible. So every single batch is tested for purity. Every single batch that we make is tested for potency.

And again, we're not just trusting the certificates of analysis of the ingredients that we procure. We're testing them again ourselves before we even go the route of actually making it into product. And so there's no other companies that are doing that. There's no other companies that have four docs on the team that are seeing patients in clinical practice.

And of course, trochies, nobody else is doing that either because they're not easy to make, I will say. And it's not for the faint of heart to try to scale trochie production, but What's nice about a trochee is that it's easy to break up into small parts, into a quarter, a half, or full, and find your dose so you're not relegated to a capsule or a tablet that's difficult to break up.

And you can figure out exactly what you need and then titrate your dose over time. But to answer your second question, which was around delivery and bioavailability, I To make a point there, methylene blue is really an interesting compound for a lot of reasons, obviously. But this is another reason why it's very interesting, is that it's almost 100% bioavailable no matter how you take it.
