What makes Ceretropic's Caffeine/NALT special?

Because it's ionically bonded would this not just disassociate in solution? At the moment it seems like this is just caffeine and NALT ions floating in water and PG. Would this be any different from just taking 200mg of caffeine and 200mg of NALT respectively?
Or is there something special about the ions of the two substances?

Oh, let them jabber. You're fine.
It's just human nature to suspect such things in an industry of supplements and research chemicals. Wild claims get made all the time. I understand it's insulting to get lumped in with all of the charlatans, even if tentatively and with an open invitation for an explanation.
I really hope that all of this nitpicking and brain-picking they are trying to do doesn't dampen your verve. If you are excited about something, I do hope you'd be willing to share it, even if it's only with select customers! As I understand it, your company was born from /r/nootropics, and you know how important the feedback of the community is. The community has gotten bigger, and with that comes more disorder and a higher degree of pathological thinking.
There have been a lot of Ceretropic threads lately, but you guys are basically the trailblazer of the nootropics industry at this point and everyone is excited by the progress you are making on a monthly, or even weekly basis. I for one have a great respect for your ability to run a business while still staying in touch with the nootropics community on such a personal level, and responding to their wishes so promptly--I mean, you were Johnny-on-the-spot with that Noopept spray! People like that sort of thing, and people talk about what they like. I still recommend Powdercity and Liftmode and other mere supplement ven…

I thought about all this last night after I calmed down. I am way too high strung right now for my own good. I don't blame anyone for questioning things. I would be doing the same thing to another product. It is hypocritical for me not to treat the situations the same. I know I am not scamming people. That does not mean other people don't. I am too close to these projects to not let emotion into the equation. I need to work on that.
I too get annoyed at constant Ceretropic questions being posted. Not because I am annoyed at the people posting them. I love that people are learning about us, and have questions, or want to say how they liked things. However, I know that is pissing a lot of people off, constantly seeing Ceretropic everywhere. I don't want to piss people off. I also get to see a lot more emails and messages in the background that other people don't see. So that affects my mood. One guy told me to go fuck myself the other day. So shit like that is always in the back of my mind.
I am also frustrated that I don't have time to do non-Ceretropic things on the subreddit anymore. I want to! I just literally have zero time in my day anymore. It's not that I have sold out, and just want to sell things now. My days just consist of about a weeks worth or work; every single day... That's my own doing, and I love it. It can just get frustrating seeing people say the subreddit was better before I started Ceretropic. I don't want people to think that.
All work and no play makes me a dull boy.
