did you know that cats (despite being obligate carnivores mainly interested in meat) can digest, for example, potato puree just fine?

i don't think most cats are very interested in potato puree but.

i can order ATP (pharmaceutical grade) at only €250/gram from sigma-eldritch. this is (historically speaking) nowhere near how expensive spices were, anyway.

do you think cats would eat ATP-seasoned potato puree?

this is actually pretty easy to test but i'll have to either downgrade to alibaba or file documents for an LLC first

come to think of it, i've never tasted ATP before. i wonder if i could taste ATP. i wonder what it tastes like

i don't have the right taste receptors to do it properly but i'd absolutely lick pure ATP powder

do you think atp would taste well dissolved in white monster
it's gotta be an adenosine receptor agonist, right? like other xanthine drugs? hmm but the biological lifetime is probably too low to feel it, especially on a background of energy drink amounts of caffeine...
the minimal alibaba order is 1 kg of ATP and i might just do it for the funsies

nevermind that, for some deranged reason people consume it as a supplement

i swear, the supplement industry is lukewarm to actively dangerous to its intended customers but it's an endless goldmine of chemical sourcing for its unintended ones

@whitequark so true
we're always surprised when we are like ah fuck how are we gonna get hold of something without a MOQ of 1kg
but then, the supplements industry:
tho even then some stuff is still ludicrously expensive outside of pre-filled with way too much filler large capsules that we'd have to process out
@chaos i mean it costs $80/kg, i can afford that easily. i just don't wanna store 1 kg of ATP around
@whitequark mood, it'd be so much worth it for some things but without somewhere for long term storage yeah nah as much as we wanna run chaos compounding pharmacy, arthritis makes separating/filling capsules hard without entities around to help us
dreading having to order 10g of clascoterone again, it lasts us a while but last we ordered it for even a sample quantity it was still decently expensive with shipping, and got double charged VAT by customs, hope it gets marketed for use outside of USA sometime
really should just order 1-5kg of magnesium bisglycinate at some point, it's worth the space it takes up at least


@chaos you could get a capsule filling machine, even proper ones with SS316 construction are cheap these days
@whitequark we have a plastic tray style thing that kinda sucks but it still requires separating the capsules into tops and bottoms which is hell for our fingers and wrists, i can manage one batch of 100 pills maybe once or twice a month, which ain't enough for magnesium, and it's still i think size 2 instead of size 4, i'd rather take a massive handful of tiny capsules than huge anti(retro)viral/biotic capsules or huge fish oil gelcaps (tho did find small vegan altetnative ones for recently, shame they cost 20x the cost of the raws lmao)
plus even then i'm still ocd enough to manually weigh each capsule for QA
a pill press would be a lot better but those are somehow illegal here
should probably look into something like that as our meds costs is starting to look like the dril candles tweet with how much supplements companies here are ramping up prices even tho materials and labor still cost the same
@whitequark if you have any recommendations then feel free to link us
keywords and sites are also good, we are extremely bad at figuring out keywords for things
@chaos don't have anything bookmarked, just know that when i looked into it 5 years ago they got affordable
