Noohack.com example of hyperbolic exaggerating language.

Sorry to call you out Noohack, but it pisses me off to see companies do this. You're new and you should not go down this road. You're not the only company that exaggerates the effects of nootropics, but this is one of the worst examples I've seen in a while, barring a few notable exceptions.
Oxiracetam does not give you a photographic memory, no "nootropic" does, at least not yet. (And no, saying "near" doesn't help). This is such an exaggeration it might as well be a lie. The old Nootropics.co.uk used to sell similar products (pressed pills of pure powder), but from what I saw they only repeated what the scientific literature said and gave you links to all those studies if you wanted to see them. There's many ways to make a substance sound more effective than it is in a much more honest way.
I expect most people that come to the site anyway will be people that already know about the substance and just want a good deal from a trustworthy vendor. If people (are stupid enough) to buy a product without researching it first, they will be disappointed and you'll have to deal with the complaints and you may even put someone off nootropics com…

You can't account for everything. At the end of the day its a research chemical and if someone was actually looking for the other P21 they'd be stupid to buy something just because its labeled that without making sure it's the thing they actually think it is. I can't remember what it is now I want to remember, but there's somethings I have searched for many times on google and I always get hits for something else that just happens to be named the same.

Yeah, I cannot please everyone. Since P21 did not have a name, I would have had to come up with one. I had a few in mind, but knew that people got angry when I did that. So I kept it the same as the study. Ohh well.
