View Full Version : Welcome Absolute Quality Bulk!!
BB.com,
Let me be the first to formally introduce you to both myself, and our company, Absolute Quality Bulk. We are a strictly bulk powder company, offering you niche ingredients, extracted exclusively for quality, at reasonable prices.
In the Bodybuilding Supplement world, consumers see an enticing product, and the question invariably pops up "when will you offer it (the active) in bulk?". Well, now that opportunity will continually present itself for active consumers in our community. We plan to offer only the highest quality nutritional actives; no fillers, no proprietary matrixes, just the very specific ingredients you want to tailor to your very specific needs. What we feel will set us apart from other bulk companies is twofold; firstly, our ability to source and produce only the highest quality extractions, geared towards containing only the most active constituents of popular ingredients; secondly, the specialization of the powders we intend to offer. While we obviously feel the 'staple' bulk products are unequivocally important, we wish to offer more exotic and specialized powders. A perfect example of this is our next product to launch, an unprecedented 98% Forskolin extract. While Forskolin itself is not new by any means to the bodybuilding community, we intend to provide it at a rarely seen extraction and quality. We will, in the future, also be offering mixes with the same precision extraction and attention to actives.
Check out our current products here:

Sulbutiamine
SuperCissus
Along with our products themselves, we are also engaging in an exclusive engagement with BodyBuilding.com. Our products will be offered solely through the BB.com store, and we will be keeping a keen eye on the forums to take your concerns and desires into mind when offering our bulk powders.
We hope that this is only the beginning of a very fruitful relationship with the BB.com community.

None taken. I understand completely. I am not technically a rep though, more an operating officer as it were. I will be handling all customer service and order issues.
But, definitely no offense taken.

Welcome to the forums. Great to see a company focusing on just bulk products with minimal pushing of "800% anabolic" designer "blends" with proprietary blends.
Bulk products are something that I stand behind. Will you be/when will you be recruiting board reps? What products do you plan to have available apart from the three currently listed.

welcome AQB
Let me address a few questions here:
The first, as it pertains to the relationship with USP Labs, our product choices, marketing, labelling, and our day-to-day operation is completely autonomous from USP. However, I remain a product representative for USP Labs on a separate board, and our sourcing is congruent with USP Lab's. I will also address a few concerns which may come up relating to that:
1) We will be offering bulk products which expand beyond USP Labs' key ingredients. (though may include some)
2) I will never push USP products as an Operating Officer of this company. Not because of quality, obviously, but just to avoid conflict of interest.
3) My duties a AQB and USP are exclusive from eachother. AQB is an exclusive opportunity for both ourselves and BB.com, and as such any overlap issues will be avoided.
I hope that clears up any confusion. I apologize for not addressing those issues immediately guys.
In reference to our plans of expansion, we will more than likely offer some 'staple' bulk products, but will focus on more 'niche' ingredients. The ingredients that you are really getting benefit from when you take a capped product.
I think what will set us apart is our attention to Customer Feedback. I will constantly be keeping an eye on Bulk Powder requests both directed at us and others, and will always attempt to keep that in mind.
Thanks for all the warm welcome guys!!

No, this is our website so to speak. We will be offering our products exclusively through bodybuilding.com. Less money spent on things like website design and marketing do translate into savings for you. We feel the ingredients we will be releasing have been researched and hyped enough where that should not be our purpose; our purpose should and will be offering those products with quality and precision delivery at low prices. Sounds good right? :D

No, definitely not. We're in no way conflated with Genera Supplements. Jacob conducts our sourcing, but that is our utilization of his abilities, and a partnership we have. I understand the query though, but rest assured our activities are autonomous from USP Labs.
I am a rep for USP Labs as well, as my signature implies Joebo. I know you have had somewhat of a rocky relationship with USP, but I hope that will not sully your opinion of our company! Give us a fair shake and I know you will not be disappointed!

I do a method called 'parachuting'. You deposit the amount you wish to dose in the middle of a piece of tissue paper, pinch it into a ball (a parachute), twist the loose extra and throw it in your mouth with water. I do this with powders like Cissus which can be sticky especially with humidity.

Icariin is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)- specific phosphodiasterase type 5. This is important, because PDE5 hydrolyze cGMP into an inactive molecule. cGMP is important because nitric oxide (NO) requires cGMP to moderate vascular control and vasodilation. So, essentially, no cGMP, no vasodilation (the ?PUMP?), because NO requires cGMP to work. The more cGMP, the more NO-induced vasodilation- therefore greater pumps!! Icariin stops PDE5 from disabling cGMP and allowing cGMP to extend its activity, which exerting the effects of NO in skeletal muscle, allowing for a stronger muscle contraction and pump.

For the moment no. We are a young company, and I know this creates a foundation of respect and trust in the community, but as of yet we do not have any. We will strive to have some testing done in the near future, however.

That is very much understandable. I can assure you that very little of our potential sourcing is derived from China, however, I still understand your decision. I do realize that, but please also recognize we have been active as a company, and by extension, on this board for a very short time. I do assure you that we will have COAs and independent testing done.
So what kind of quality are these products???
As stated earlier, Jacob Geissler, the CEO of USP Labs, conducts our sourcing as part of a partnership. I investigate and research interesting compounds, as well as judge user feedback on popular actives, and he conducts the actual sourcing. As such a direct continuity exits between the quality of USP Labs and AQB products (though the choices therein differ now, and will continue to in the future). I suppose whether or not that is a detrimental or beneficial reference point depends entirely on subjective opinion. However, it stands as a concrete reference point.
Less seriously, I suppose you can always implement the one fail-safe method: personal testing!

Question for ya AQB.
There seems to be a bit of a discrepency on the labeling of the Bulk Cissus product. I just bought some, and dosed my first dose tonight.
Now, on the website it says the serving size is 1g and there's 125 servings per container. On the package it says the serving size is 1tsp and there's 125 servings per container, this makes more sense.
But, still, 1tsp for 800mg of Cissus? That seems like an awfully big amount, just judging by other bulk powders I have, 1/4 tsp usually is over 1g, and I just can't see how there could possibly be 125 tsp worth of product in each little bag.

You seem like a nice kid that wants to do well in the industry...
But to be honest I am AMAZED that you feel it is ok to recieve some powder in bulk, repackage it and then sell it to consumers without ANY C of A, internal or external QC or testing... Basically you have no real idea of the quality or even what the powder is you are selling....
I am also amazed that BB.com allows this to happen...
The supplier should be able to provide you with a C of A at least free of charge (for what its worth), they would have needed that to import it into the country..

I agreed with RobW. All reputable suppliers automatically provide the patch-specific CoAs, and you can send samples to local labs too (When it comes to pure powders, it costs like 150 - 200 dollars per item). However, SuperCissus is certainly for real if you buy it from USPlabs. They have the best cissus out there..

Thank-you my friend. I would first interject that the original query was for third-party, independent testing. The COAs which I receive from Jacob from the vendor, as well as his own in-house testing, would no doubt be criticized for lacking validity vis a vis conflict of interest. I can assure you that I have the utmost confidence, from both a personal trust area insofar as my business relationship with Jacob, as well as, and more importantly, an objective proof standpoint. BB.com is also aware of our QC and COA practices, as, and you are right here, allowing a vendor to operate sans these necessary items would be irresponsible.

I find that Cissus is an unusually dense product and lacks the volume and consistency of other bulk powders (this is not detrimental, merely its physical nature). We ensure that our packages are weighed correctly, and the dosage instructions are correct! I promise you'll get your Cissus Dala, if not you can come to my house and throw the teaspoon at me. :D
