Ongoing r/NootropicsDepot Q&A after the relaunch. Fewer racetam and peptide threads than the 2010s; more standardized botanicals, Cistamax, Eurycomax, and store operations.
Cistamax + Eurycomax
Replying to Aromatic-Stuff-9064 · Send it to Australia
It's the DHEA that's the issue. Your government won't allow that, unfortunately.

We are actually right in the middle of working on these types of timelines for the product pages, so I figured I would respond here with it as well. People have been consistently asking what they should expect after taking a product, and when, to make it easier for them to unders…
Why the difference in reviews on Reddit vs. Amazon for MicroMag?
Replying to Happy-Walk3489 · Hey, I saw one of your posts on P21 from 12 years ago when you were taking it. Are you still taking it and what did you notice?
Yeah, we were the first company to ever release P21. It's a really cool peptide. I ever developed entirely new peptides based on what we learned from it, like Adamax. That's my peptide that I created and named. I also made other ones we never released that are even better. No, I…
Why the difference in reviews on Reddit vs. Amazon for MicroMag?
Replying to CaptainExcellent5299 · Can’t say I’ve ever tried them for herbals. My household uses them for things like Vitamin D, Iron, Copper, Lysine. Things you don’t sell or only had in tablet.
You don't like tablets? Do you prefer capsules?

I expected it to be Unilever, based on what we were hearing from some insiders, but I guess P&G came in instead. Both are soulless corporations that destroy most brands they touch, so it makes no real difference.
Myostatin mushroom update
Replying to Warren_sl · Oh interesting, it’s not getting a solo release?
We might release it solo, but the stack will come out first. This rebrand/packaging update has been the biggest nightmare, so we are just trying to get through it. The entire production team is working overtime every week, and most weekends as well, to help get us through it. It'…
Cistamax + Eurycomax
We designed them to work together, and I always try to get people to combine them for best effects. Cistamax and Eurycomax act as a highly effective hormonal and performance stack because they target testosterone production, energy, and recovery through completely non-overlapping…
Cistamax + Eurycomax
Replying to NTACF · I haven’t done both together but plenty here have. May want to look into a quality boron supplement to specifically address the SHBG issue.
Eurycomax already has boron in it.
Myostatin mushroom update
Very soon, as part of a stack we are releasing. It's all done, formulated, and in capsules already. We are just waiting on the labels to be done.
Myostatin mushroom update
Replying to Warren_sl · Also. Where’s Catuaba at?
Project is already back in motion. I am pushing to move quickly on it, after learning some new information. I won't get into the details of it all, but we have recently learned of faulty botany data coming out of a (very highly trusted) lab, that has led us down some paths to dea…
Myostatin mushroom update
Replying to tosha420 · they replied many times that there will be no Catuaba because there's no such thing as Catuaba - search this subreddit
There will be Catuaba. It's just a pain in the dick to do right, so it is taking FOREVER to do. We paused the project for a bit, once we hit some major roadblocks, but have picked it back up already. We will bring out Catuaba. Don't worry.
Which saffron was the best again?
Replying to Purple_Unit6244 · No thanks, I split the capsule in half but it was too stimulating, it just wasn't for me
Ohh, got it. Saffron in general is just too simulating for you at any dose.
Procter & Gamble will acquire supplements brand Thorne for $3.8 billion, CEO tells CNBC
Replying to Simple_Song8962 · How in the hell did it go up by $3 Billion in just 3 years?
This is what private equity does. They buy up companies with trusted names, come in and cut a bunch of the shit that made the companies trusted in the first place, which lowers overhead costs. They then do big marketing pushes to increase short term demand, pushing EBITDA up, due…
Procter & Gamble will acquire supplements brand Thorne for $3.8 billion, CEO tells CNBC
Replying to aTrueBraj · Noooooooooooooo
I mean, it has been owned by L Catterton, the investment arm of Luis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, for 3 years. They fired their whole scientific team 2.5 years ago. We knew a guy that worked on their scientific team for 15 years that was cut when the new ownership came in. Thorne's fat…
Which saffron was the best again?
Replying to PsychedelicLoverBoy · Yes in theory. I have both Affron and ND's saffron and feel both as sedating. Definitely not a morning supplement for me.
Would you appreciate us offering a 15mg dose of our saffron?
Which saffron was the best again?
Replying to Purple_Unit6244 · I can attest to that, I tried ND saffron and only 15mg. Gave me anxiety about a couple hours later. Their stuff is potent and pure, it just wasn't for me
Would you like to see us offering a 15mg dose instead?

Replying to Ashamed-Status-9668 · I made myself an expert on how mattresses are made because of that very thing. Mattresses are a friggin racket.
Ohh man, me too! I did so much damn mattress research, it was insane. Luckily there are, or were at the time, still some more independent bloggers/testers you could rely on for more objective insight into them. That just doesn't exist in the supplement world. Every single influen…

Yeah, we are friends with one of their former scientific team members that was with them for 15 years. When L Catterton, the investment arm of LVMH, bought them, they gutted the entire scientific team. They wanted the name and reputation, not the overhead of science and innovatio…

You can't even trust that anymore. That's been commoditized and bought out now as well. There are so many labs out there giving brands the results they want to see. Some of the labs have actually been founded or bought out by digital marketers now. Even large seemingly well regar…

I get it. These strategies work because of human psychology. I fall prey to it myself. When I am buying things outside of supplements, I have to stop myself from looking at reviews and reading reports on sites. It's all horseshit, I know that. I just have no way to know what is t…

It was 9 years ago, but yeah. It's been Nestle for a while. They have sucked for a while. They always fail our testing. Our most recent test of theirs was their Ashwagandha. They claimed 12.5mg withanolides per capsule. We found 1.49mg per capsule, so a massive failure. That was…
