Hasn't It been claimed that UCW Created this product?
If they created the recipe and are having it cooked up by someone else, unsure how they could claim to not know what was in it.
From what I can read, it has been claimed that they "created" it.
Now to be the "neutral" guy in the room.
They could have produced it and not used what has been found, sent production elsewhere and got duped.
Not being the "neutral" guy in the room.
I find that highly unlikely, as any facility that would manufacture this stuff would be liable and most would not even touch the idea of doing that. While there may be some shady outfits, it is highly unlikely.
Then there is the possibility that they do buy this in bulk, package themselves and then sell it that way. I feel that is the logical explanation here.
From experience helping a friend grow, bottle and sell pods, it does not take much of a warehouse space to create a decent local distro center. We could crank out pallets of 16 ox bottles in a weekend. I assume the same could be said for Vibrant.
Just take all the bottles, throw in X oz. to make up the percent they want or close to it, throw in a dropper of vinegar and top all bottles off with RODI. All of this can be done pretty quickly with the bottle sitting on a scale or just some measuring spoons with the items in tubs and a funnel in the bottle. Then throw on the bottle seal (just a round piece of foil paper with some glue on it), throw the cap on and call that bottle done.
Once you do 50 bottles, think of how much it becomes just simple repetition to fill a bottle. say 2 guys, 1 minute a bottle and 8 hours on a Saturday. 960 bottles. Figure lunch and some BS among them, they can easily do 500 bottles a day.
Is vibrant really selling 500 bottles a week? Possibly, so they do 2 days to make up for that.
