    I hate the fact that they will be owned by a Chinese company HERE. Why don't they just close up shop and reopen IN China. Too expensive and now tainted.

    That's the truth with not only compounds and herbs but most all vitamins and mineral supplements. We don't even know if they are coming from a top-notch operation or a bottom-of-the-barrel producer due to the lack of labeling requirements from China. Regulators in China have financial interest in the industries they are supposed to regulate and inspect so the crap they send over here could be making us sicker instead of healthier.
