You can find Lactobacillus Acidophilus probiotics at any health food store, or on Amazon. This is hardly novel - and this one appears to be over 23x the price per pill as the existing alternatives! ($1.90/ea vs $0.08/ea)

Yep. They scale the "active ingredient" image down, but here's the larger version: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0590/6667/9502/products/box-rendering-567-1-1024x1024_3000x.png https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0590/6667/9502/products/bo...

They claim to have a specific strain which produces lots of lactase, which is possible. I agree with you on principle though.

  The supplements market is full of shysters and charlatans. If they had the actual data to prove it, they would have published it.

    I took Bactose after seeing an IG ad, I took it for 7 days, after I could literally have any dairy I want for about 4 weeks which fell short of their claim of months. I contacted them and they explained it's not your average L.Acidophilus it's a super strain that produces an abundance of lactase enzymes in the gut. The problem with most probiotics that is that it's a placebo effect, you legit cannot effect diarrhea and gas with a placebo, either it works or it doesn't, for me it worked and it was glorious....

      Thank you for your testimonial, Bactose marketing shill!

    The only hard data we have currently is when we compared our strain to other LA strains and we were producing about 60% more lactase enzymes. We are in the middle of a double blind clinical study now, that was supposed to finish in October of 2020 (yes 2020), but looks like should hopefully finish in March 2022. Another piece of data we have is all the anecdotal stuff about it simply working for people, personally I think it is pretty hard to placebo not getting diarrhea. I do agree with you about the supplement industry being full of scumbags. Let me know what you would like from us to help win you over, besides the double blind which is in progress, but imagine if it was not an option, what else?

If I had to guess, this is probably E. coli — BL21 is a well known strain used for expressing recombinant protein.

  It definitely is not E. coli

    Thanks for the clarification, I see it now in the thread.

Hi my name is Mike, I am one of the cofounders of Bactories, the creators of Bactose. Our COGS are $10.09/pack shipped first class mail (add $1.80 if we get the custom shipping box). Then we have to spend on marketing, and spend money on making mistakes, we also have robust R&D activity that needs to be funded. This all adds up, we sell each pack $30 or $40 delivered (as low as $15/pack if use coupons on your first order). I think our marketing sucks, neither me nor the other founder are good at. If you or if you know someone who can help us with the marketing, to drive down our customer aquisition costs, and increase sales so our COGs decline with increased volumes, I will gladly lower the price. I would rather sell 1 million packs and make $1 on each then sell 1 pack for $1million dollars, if you get what I am saying.
