The time has finally come to launch our nootropics site! For those of you that don’t know, a fellow Redditor, /u/guacamolium, approached me a while back. He was interested in starting a nootropics vendor, and thought partnering with me would be a good fit. We pretty much always agreed with each other when speaking on this forum, and had similar visions for what we wanted in a vendor. So after many long discussions, we decided to go into business together. After much preparation, and many unforeseen bumps, we are ready to launch!
Our initial goal is going to be filling a part of the market that does not exist yet: nootropics in sublingual dropper vials. Many people always ask if they need a scale to be accurate, or how to conveniently and quickly capsule nootropics with accuracy. As many of you know, there really is no way to do that without a scale and time. For a lot of you, that’s not something high on the list of things you want to do. Enter sublingual dropper vials.
Over the years, I’ve taken a few supplements in dropper vials; and loved how easy it was to dose and be done with it. The main one I’ve always used was sublingual B vitamins. The ability to just wake up, grab th…

This looks very cool and I think you'll find some early adopters pretty easily. I would suggest more explanatory content throughout the site. In particular, an "Intro to Nootropics" or "Nootropics 101" section would be really valuable (even to someone like me who is interested, but not that knowledgeable). Also, instead of relying on Wikepedia and Examine for info, try to incorporate the content onto the product pages themselves. The last think you want to do is drive a user away from your site right at point of sale.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. I was torn on having a lot of content on the site, or leaving it to other sites who's main purpose is information. The more direct statements we have regarding the substances and human consumption on our site, the more more likely the FDA would get involved. I wanted to balance the risk.
Examine, Wikipedia, Smarter Nootropics, and /r/nootropics have a lot of info. I don't feel that me rewriting everything on our site would be too beneficial. However, I might change my mind.
