Question 1

Does this company source there ingredients from China?

Accepted Answer

Almost all supplement manufacturers now get ingredients from China. And be assured that the isolated vitamins are provided by only a handful of chemical corporations that service all vitamin manufacturers.

Question 2

Does this product contain free glutamate (MSG) in it?  Annatto, dextrose, and  maltodextrin are usually hidden terms for MSG.

Accepted Answer

Dextrose (which is literally another name for glucose, formula : C6H12O6, the most common all the monosaccharides) and maltodextrin (a polysaccharide consisting of sugars, formula: C6nH(10n+2)O(5n+1)) cannot be monosodium glutimate (formula: C5H8NO4Na)... they are SUGARS and have no sodium ion in them. Anatto (chemical formula - C25H30O4) I'm skeptical as well about.  I recommend you triple check the sources you are getting this information from because I googled it and found no studies backing this information up and the only people discussing it are blogs that cite no sources.

MSG sensitivity is a myth that teeters on racism, and has been exhaustively studied. Hope you aren't eating tomatoes, grapes, mushrooms, ham, shrimp, various cheeses either cause those are all sources of naturally occuring msg/glutamic acids.

Question 3

is the palm oil ethically sourced?

Accepted Answer

We totally understand your concern. We feel very strongly about using the highest quality, most earth-friendly ingredients 
for our products, that's why we only use an extremely minute amount of sustainably harvested Organic Palm Oil as part 
of the coating for our mykind tablets.

Our mykind tablets are made using Clean Tablet Technology, our new Patent-Pending tableting process that uses 100% Organic 
tablet materials, is 100% Non-GMO, and does not contain commonly used Soy or Corn derived ingredients, or the usual list of 
chemicals like magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.

Not only is the Organic Palm Oil sourced ethically, our Palm Oil Supplier is also proud to be the first major ingredient supplier in the 
United States to offer 100% certified sustainable Identity Preserved (IP) Organic Palm Oil certification by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).

Question 4

60 for $30?! Why such an outrageous price?

Accepted Answer

Because you're getting your nutrients from real food, not from synthetic (and cheaper) sources, like 99% of supplements contain.
