My auto-ship order from Amazon did not arrive recently, the reason they said was because Flameout was out of stock and they showed unknown for when it would be available again.
Can someone please let me/us know when it might be back in stock? I would prefer to not have to use another brand that is NOT highest in DHA.
Thank you
I just ran out of Flamout two days ago, and “forced” to seek a substitute from a local health food store. I also will run out of Longjack in about two weeks and will need a substitute.
Is it just me or does it seem like this is happening much too frequently with various Biotest products? I would imagine they have a pretty solid base of VERY loyal customers such as you and I, who (like me) have their Biotest supps on autoship from Amazon on a regular basis, so unless I’m just uninformed it seems like predicting demand would be somewhat simple.
But I’m guessing if we receive an answer it will be related to raw material availability. Which, with seafood for Flameout I can understand….to an extent. But why has my local supplement store been out of the awesome Spike drinks for months now? They have told me they are hearing it might not be for a few more months until they get more? I can’t imagine problems getting ingredients for an energy drink? I normally but that stuff by the caseload, 3 or 4 at a time, as my wife and I much prefer drinking those in the morning compared to just coffee. What’s going on?
I forgot to add, luckily for me, I always order an extra bottle more than I need with my Flameout autoships, so I have 2 extra bottles on hand. each autoship I just accumulate “extra”. But I don’t want to have to settle for an inferior fish oil should I truly run out.
I am waiting for four Biotest products that I regularly use. I have been using substitutes for three of them. And as I said I am hoping they get Omega Man back available.
It has been my philosophy to reorder any Biotest product when I open a new one and have only one in my inventory. It looks like I need to reorder when I have two in my inventory.
I think that’s a smart idea. when you open your bottle and only have 2 left unopened, order THEN. I just took inventory and lucky me, I have actually 2 bottles of Flameout left, so, no need to panic yet.
My Flamout doesn’t last an entire month. While I take three just before bedtime, I give my wife two at dinner.
At this time, the production schedule has been affected by unavoidable manufacturing issues, which has slowed our ability to replenish inventory. Because of this, we don’t currently have estimated dates for when the out of stock products will be available again. As Chris Shugart mentioned HERE, Flameout should be back soon, though.
As for Spike, it is relaunching this year in 12-oz cans, debuting a new lineup that includes Original, Strawberry Lemonade, Blue Raz, CherryBerry, Watermelon, and Grape Surge.
Thanks for letting us know Matthew! I look forward to the new Spike, you’ve got a guaranteed customer here….like I said, the wife and I go through those pretty fast.
@RT_Nomad I always take more than the recommended dosages, but then again I’m over 300lbs so I tend to do that with most things. I take:
2 Micellar Curcumin, 3 Flameout, 2 Multivitamins (serving size is 4), 1 D3 in the morning with breakfast, and with dinner I take 2 Micellar Curcumin, 3 Flameout, 2 multivitamins. So, I got through my stuff pretty fast. BUT, my bloodwork has been excellent thus far, and my doctor loves me taking all the fish oils too.
I have been taking a tablespoon of Carlson’s fish oil every morning for the last three decades. I added Flameout for bedtime and additional DHA.
Yeah, I have to admit, there’s nothing instantly “awesome” from taking fish oils/micellar curcumin, as opposed to say taking igniter BUT at least you know that what you’re taking is going to be GOOD for your body and keep it in top shape going forward. As we get older, we eventually stop believing we’ll live forever and realize that, son of a bitch, we’re closer to death than birth. I remember when I realized that, that was a bad day. BUT, I figured that the best course of action for me at that time was to really try to take care of my body and do/take anything that would keep it functioning in top form. Oh, that and I quit drinking. Not that I drank a lot, but I realized that it truly was a toxic/poisonous substance and why woujld I want to put that willingly in my body? Yeah, yeah, I know, and all my friends have told me, a little bit here and there “isn’t a big deal”, but the way I look at it, maybe a tiny bit of arsenic here and there “isn’t a big deal…but…why willingly take poison”?
I barely qualify. I drink about two bottles of craft beer a year, and then, only if they have a lager.
As someone who stocks up on Biotest products frequently, it felt last year was really only at the end of the year. I didn’t have any issues until them. I hope soon they can get some Surge Workour fuel back at least (then Rez-V and Indigo)
Good to hear about Flameout. That one has been especially hard to replace with the available options out there.
Not just Flameout - now Amazon is charging $9.00 more per bottle of Curcumin. Think I will cancel that one.
@Matthew_Weeldreyer I know it’s only been a little over 2 week since I last asked, but any news on Flameout & when it might return? Or, on the flipside….any idea how long this outage might last?
I will say, whenever they do begin producing it, they better make a TON because when I see it available again, I’m going to order a bunch of extra bottles to stockpile for situations like these. Then when I resume my Amazon scheduled orders I’ll just use one out of my stockpile and replace it with a fresh one.
I was forced to search for another source of DHA rich fish oil. Currently I am using capsules by Carlson
Thank you for the recommendation! I will definitely be checking those out when my current Flameout runs out……I’d down to one unopened bottled and the one I’m currently taking, which is about 80% full. SO, I’ve got SOME time. Oh, that reminds me, I probably should decrease my daily intake to just the recommended amount. Remember, I normally take 6 capsules a day. 3 with breakfast, 3 with dinner. I know that’s over the daily dose of 3 [I believe it’s 3 on the bottle], but again I’m over 300lbs AND I really want a high level of those in my bloodstream for anti-inflammatory, heart protective, blood viscosity, etc. benefits.
Thanks @RT_Nomad
I was taking a tablespoon of Carlson’s fish oil in the morning for decades, and just added Flameout just before bed.
Yea, something is definitely going on behind the scenes at biotest. It’s never been this bad in regards to items being out of stock for an extended period time, and i’ve been here since the beginning. I have a weird feeling but I hope it’s not what i’m thinking.
