Hi everyone, I have a question.
I was looking through an ecommerce platform for biochemicals, including the active ingredients in supplement products where you see the prices from many companies for a given compound like vitamin b12 or nicotinamide riboside or just about anything else . It's called Chembid.com. There are others as well. They sell a range of quantities up to large industrial quantities like kilograms. Wouldn't you expect this to cost way less gram for gram than in a retail supplement product? I figured the cost for example, for 10g of acetyl l-carnitine in this raw form would be significantly less than if I purchased a supplement product from GNC or Vitamin shoppe with the same 10g of acetyl l-carnitine inside. Instead, its the reverse. the bulk quantity price for the raw material is several times higher than for the finished product gram for gram. I compared 8 different compounds. So what gives?
