I do recognize that you are very knowledgable about the production of Agrastim, and I believe you also have a fair amount of business experience. And, despite the tough tone of my messages lately, I do maintain a certain level of objectivity.
One of the things that is a really concern for me regarding certification of Agrastim is the laboratory that certifies the product to be what it is advertised to be. Unless I have missed something, that is Lowenkamp. And again, unless I have missed something, Lowenkamp is tied to the commercial success of this product. (At least that is my recollection, as I haven't gone back lately to look at all of the connections.)
If I were a potential customer, and certification of efficacy or purity was an important consideration, I would demand that the testing and certification be performed by an impartial testing lab. In the manufacturing and consumer world UL and FM are two of the bigger players. They do no have ties to anyone selling the products that they list.
Maybe there aren't labs who test for those kinds of things in the nutraceutical world. I just think it would come across as more credible if another (nationally recognized) lab were involved.... even if it was just the certification of Lowenkamp's results.
Thanks
