Sounds like great tech! Can you share some peer reviewed evidence on the individual components/on the pill as a whole/the timed release being worth paying for?

@ajayn This is a great question! Here's the link to our flagship paper, which won the award for Best 2015 Paper in the Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology http://www.sciencedirect.com/sci... This paper shows our data on the release profile of the first-ever 3D printed (fused filament fabrication) pill shells.

@ajayn You will see that we only use FDA approved pharmaceutical polymers, and that their release profiles are remarkably consistent. Additionally, we also published this paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/sci... , where we verify the release/dissolution performance of 10 more FDA-approved pharmaceutical polymers! :)

@fred_parietti Thanks! Cool stuff. Any reason why you chose supplements instead of therapeutic agents(like, say, insulin)? I ask because I am generally skeptical of people spending a ton of money on supplements when they can just eat a little better 😄 + the evidence on daily supplements is a little iffy.

@ajayn You made a very good point! Our technology was born out of pharmaceutical research, and can be applied to the release of drugs. However, by starting from supplements we are able to bring this innovation faster to the customers, and solve the huge pain point of having to take multiple, mass-produced pills (this is a big problem both for pharma and for supplement pill takers). Moreover, many customers need to integrate their diets with personalized combinations of supplements, which we can provide with more accuracy than standard multivitamins (which usually include unnecessarily large quantities of supplements, in the one-size-fits-all approach). Finally, some supplements - like caffeine - are taken to improve concentration rather than to complement nutrition. In these cases, timed release and quantity become essential, and we are the only technology that can customize those.

@fred_parietti Thanks for the answers, all makes sense. This whole move towards personalised medicine is very exciting. What is your/the company's opinion on the cost efficacy of nutritional supplements like Vitamins B, C etc.?

Do you have any quality/purity guarantees of these pills? That is, are fillers required for binding, are you disclosing what these fillers are?

@laebshade we are testing all our supplements and our pill shells for both purity and contamination. Also, currently we don't use any fillers because the shell itself controls the release!

@olbuckwilson @laebshade This is really important info that should be front-and-center on your site. I have some food allergies and spend a lot of time finding supplements that don't include these ingredients. If your shells have the right composition, it's a slam-dunk for me! Also, vegans, etc. would be interested in the composition.

@kaizendad @laebshade great point, Wade. Quite a few people have approached us with similar dietary concerns so we definitely think we can help out here. Whether it's the fillers or the shell itself, a lot of people are frustrated with the pill-taking experience!

Hey Product Hunt, I’m Tiffany, co-Founder of Multiply Labs, and we want to make staying healthy and energized a lot easier! Like many of you, we often find ourselves not having enough time to be healthy (frozen food and pizza is not healthy) and drinking too many cups of coffee (the Starbucks cashier knows my name). For the first time, we made it possible to create your own personalized supplement pill that can be customized to release different supplements at various times throughout the day. With one pill in the morning, you can have your standard health-boosting supplements released immediately and a burst of caffeine released later in the day. After you tell us a little bit about yourself, we can recommend supplements for your personalized pill based on your needs and then use our 3D printing technology to build a pill just for you! Check it out and let us know what you think.

This sounds like something amazing and could be breakthrough. @tiffanyamykuo Can you ExplainLikeImFive: How a single ingested pill can release different supplements at different times during the day?

@matthewboyle25 Thanks for the first question! We actually 3D-print a pill with different compartments using pharmaceutical materials. By varying the material we use and the thickness of the pill's compartments, we can control when these different compartments release the supplements.

@tiffanyamykuo when will I be able to increase the dosage in a single pill? Your dosage for Omega 3 is lower than prescribed by my doctor. When will you have other supplements such as CoQ10 available? The setup is cumbersome on mobile. Slider bars for weight and height only allows me approximations. This is poor design.

@tiffanyamykuo Amazing product! I can't wait for this -- as a weightlifter I've had to carry around pill boxes of supplements and remember to take them periodically. This is huge -- great job guys!

@laebshade We are constantly improving our product, so your feedback regarding mobile design is helpful! Over the next months, we plan on adding functionality to increase dosage for some supplements and increasing the offered supplements based on comments from our early access program.

So you're telling me that I can take 1 pill in the morning that releases the optimal amount of caffeine I need throughout the day for peak efficiency?

@sebfung That is exactly what we're aiming for! We already offer two release profiles for the supplements (immediate and later), and we will optimize the configuration of the pill based on your individual feedback (the time and intensity of the caffeine release in your experience). Our 3D printing technology allows us to tailor your pills to your preferences!

@jenleeny We are targeting millennials! Specifically, people are health conscious (even if they aren't doing anything about it now) and want that constant energy throughout the day.
