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 great, nice job!
I was curious about the Adrafinil and the enzymatic activity necessary to produce Modafinil. Since it's sublingual, theoretically it would bypass the liver toxicity concerns with oral Adrafinil?
I'd imagine the caffeine would be more potent as well, since sublingual would avoid the first-pass metabolism?

That was our thought as well. It will bypass first pass metabolism, so it will definitely lessen the liver enzyme activity. However, it will still go through second pass metabolism.
The elevated liver activity seen in adrafinil is less than having a beer, so I am not too worried about it. We thought about perhaps including NAC or milk thistle in the solution at some point, just to calm people's fears.
Caffeine might be a little more potent sublingually, as it definitely does get metabolized in the liver. However, I have not quantified the amount. So I did not want to make claims that I had not verified yet.
