Nootropics Depot

I think a lot of us were upset when Nootropics Depot suddenly shut down last year. Matt and everyone at the Parmatrix team provided great products and services, and were a huge asset to the community. They were the first Nootropics company to have their own in-house testing lab, and helped me out with all manner of things. I also became very good friends with Matt and the whole crew over there. So when the executive decision was made to shut the site down, it came as a surprise to me as well. When they came back a couple months later with a drastically reduced product list, it was never really the same. Nobody was more heartbroken and frustrated than Matt. The company he worked hard to build was shut off, and he had to step back from the community that he loved to be a part of.
Since the executive decision was made to steer the larger company away from Nootropics, and Matt's hands were tied with what he could do. It was only a matter of time before the site shut down completely. Seeing the inevitable ahead, a couple months ago Matt approached me about a possible solution to the problem. He could not resurrect the company that he built from scratch, but I could. His hands were tie…
What they were answering

Is there a reason ND wasn't just incorporated into Ceretropic? Do you intend to pursue a separate line of products or reduce the number of products offered by Ceretropic in order to distinguish Nootropics Depot, now that it is basically part of your organization?
(Also: organoleptic testing on all products is bloody fantastic. Keep up the hard work and ridiculously high standards, Paul.)
Also, is this switchover why you still haven't set up my MK order? :P

Haha, yes. Things are bit crazy around here right now. Didn't Chanel get your MK order setup, though? I spoke to her about it.
Having two brands/companies gives me a lot more flexibility than trying to incorporate into one. They are going to have different product offerings, and go after different market segments. There is a lot of crossover right now. However, in 3-6 months, you will see drastically different sites.
