Yes, a lot of these brands will not disclose to you ingredients they use unless it’s on the supplement facts. They are super paranoid with competitors reverse engineering their proprietary blends. We have direct relationships with a lot of the brands on your list, and we help them accelerate their sales channels and enter new markets. A lot of them are afraid to even enter the Canadian market because they will have to disclose their proprietary blends to Health Canada. There isn’t anything nefarious going on here, they are just super paranoid and protecting their trade secrets.
For what it’s worth, a lot of the companies on your list are 2nd and 3rd generation family run businesses with good intent to help people live healthier and feel good.
For example: Blue Bonnet Nutrition, Buried Treasure, Now Foods.
