First of all, this technology combined with the personalized manufacturing process is pretty incredible. Are there any plans to go beyond two stages of release? Or have the technology work for longer timeframes like 8 hours? Or an XR version, where a total amount is continuously released over a longer timeframe? These would all be desirable.
Additionally are there plans to have other nootropics included on your supplement list? I'm sure r/nootropics would love to experiment with this if the cost is reasonable and the methods of release are interesting.

#4Very nice... Just browsed out the site. Now, you seem to have a lot less vitamins, etc. in your selection compared to what is on most off the shelf products. Is that by design (or researched evidence) or just that you haven't found a way to print them into the pill yet?

As someone who has to take a LOT of supplements under supervision of a doctor, this would be great. Unfortunately, of the 7 supplements you offer that I actually take, you can't even get them in a high enough concentration to replace any supplement that I'm taking. I guess these are just for healthy people without any actual deficiencies? B12 for example, is basically impossible to overdose on but your 100mcg is useless to me when I inject about 2CCs of it a week, and your 100mg of Vitamin C is useless to me when I take 2 grams a day. Can't take the B9 because my MTHFR problems make me require Folinic Acid instead. I take 5,000IU/day of D3, and I have no idea how much "0.05 mg" is since D is measured in International Units.
The other, less common supplements I take like Acetyl-L-Carnatine, L-Arganine, and R-Alpha-Lipolic-Acid, you don't offer.

I think this is a cool idea. As a vegan I take a few supplements at different times of the day, and it would be nice to have to only take one pill, even if that came at a premium.
On that note, are your products vegetarian and/or vegan friendly? I'm curious especially about the pill itself (gelatin?), the omega 3 (fish oil?), and the vitamin D3 (lanolin)? Thanks!

No offense but you sound like perhaps not the common market

The current list is based on extensive research that we have done. We can fit additional supplements in the pill and are continuing to research additional supplements. We welcome any additional recommendations from our early customers!

Our pill can be vegetarian or vegan depending on the supplements you choose! The pill shell of the pill is a pharma-grade polymer (not gelatin), omega 3 is derived from fish (though we are considering a plant option) and vitamin D3 is lanolin.

Hiring for data? Seems like the potential for massively distributed research is there especially since feedback is a natural part of the process.
