Vitacost is selling nutritional supplements (at least the deglycyrrhizinated licorice root capsules, SKU # 844197016860, so far, that I know of) that are diluted compared to the concentration sold in the past, and the labelled milligrams have not been updated to reflect this change.  The capsules are several shades lighter than they used to be, the contents taste like mostly rice flour, instead of the licorice root that they are supposed to contain, and the bottle labels are still being printed with 750mg as the amount of active ingredient.  My stomach ulcers returned after a month of using the new diluted lot.  Until Vitacost stops diluting products and using false labeling, I will no longer be purchasing any other Vitacost products either.
