Scoot's Finest Alcar and BN's Alcar? WTF? BN's powder in general

So i've been using Scotts Finest alcar for a while now and decided i should just buy Alcar powder and cap it myself. When i Recieved BN's Alcar it was baking soda white while Scott's finest Alcar has a tan color to it with brown spots. Anybody know why the colors are so different? Is BN's alcar bunk? Does BN have decent powder supplements ort is there a better website.

Also i picked up some GTE, Yohimbine hcl, caffeine, and taurine powders. ARe these good quality powders or am i better off purchasing capped supplements from elsewhere.?

And finally, theres no way i'm going to cap all this shit any time soon so do these powders begin to go bad after a while?

Hopefully someone can answer these questions for me. thanks :D

Scotts Finest Alcar has coloration because it has piridoxal 5 phosphate(p5p), Vitamin C and piperine, Alcar is typically white/off white.

Thanks foir the info. So basically i should get some B6 and piperine. but where the hell can i get piperine? I have about 50 of Scotts Alcar left so i guess i'll take 1-2 of those along with the caps i plan to make throughout the day.

Any idea if the powder quality of my alcar or gte will diminish if i dont cap it anytime soon?
Thanks for your help.

after re-reading some of it i guess i need P5P instead of b6. any idea where to get that also?

items such as the ones that interest you tend to be hygroscopic
thus moisture in time and exposure would comprimise the integrity of the product
