Why are elemicin and myristicin so expensive anyway. Myristicin is more expensive. Both are priced way out of reach. I’ve seen myristicin sold at $100 for 100 mg. The source for myristicin is parsley seed oil, which is very cheap. Parsley seed oil is nearly 50% myristicin. 15 ml of parsley seed oil is about $7 usually. That’s about 12000 mg of oil, with about 6000 mg of myristicin in it. So why does myristicin cost $100 for 100 mg? That’s a complete rip off.
