Scientists have tried for decades to recreate ocean water. They know the exact chemical structure… and still, nothing can live in it 🌊
That’s how I think about vitamins. We know the chemical structure of vitamin c, so we make ascorbic acid in a lab and call it the same thing. But there’s so much around it in nature that we don’t fully understand yet — and can’t replicate.
Honest truth: we’ll never compete on price. Our plants have to be grown by farmers, in real quantities, then water-extracted. That costs more than making a molecule in a lab. I’ve made peace with it.
Nature knows best. We don’t 🌿
