What are the biggest things that bug you about the nootropics market?

Original post in this thread

salamandyr · 25 points

I've been taking nootropics of various types for about 10 years, and really enjoy the clarity and attention support I get from piracetam, especially when combined with some of the choline sources available.

But like most of you all I've watched prices go up and down, different racetams vanish and then re-emerge in the market, suppliers appear and suppliers vanish, premade stacks I really liked get changed, etc.

Also, I sort of enjoy navigating all the complexity and new finding sources and compounds that might be brain fitness optimizing. Sometimes it feels like the info is secret, or that we are exploring new territory (we are) but still, sleuthing up gems that inform my "experimence" can be fun. That being said, I've got a degree in cognitive neuroscience and this available information is still fairly confusing and contradictory at times.

What are the biggest things that "bug" you, O gobblers of noots? Access to reliable racetams? Conflicting (or absent) information about mechanisms of action? The somewhat wide individual response profile to various racetams, etc?

Speaking of (3), how's your study going?

Capping equipment is here. Racetams and placebo are all here. Bags and packaging is here. Capsules will be here in a couple days. Once the capsules get here, I am going to start capping all the active and placebos. I still have some methods to work out, and am waiting on some replies to questions I had. I am pretty busy at work at the moment, so it will take me some time to get everything ready. Once I am close, I'll make another post seeing if there are any more volunteers. I have enough already, but some are out of the US. If I can keep things in the US it would be easier, but we'll see. Then I'll send messages to the chosen candidates and work out the details of shipping and payment. So we are getting closer. I'd say a month or so till we are go, maybe sooner.
