Is Nootropics Depot still legit (after their reopening)?

I'm a 23 year old male graduate student. After doing tons of research, I decided to get Bacopa Monnieri Capsules to improve my memory. After looking at sifting through tons of supplements, I decided to go with [this one] (http://nootropicsdepot.com/bacognize-bacopa-monnieri-capsules/) from Nootropics Depot. I'm interested in that one specifically, but my question is: Are they still a reliable company with effective products?
I read that they shut down then reopened, and heard different people saying "they aren't as good as they used to be," but I really don't know how credible that statement is. Do you guys still buy from them? Also, is their Bacopa Monnieri Capsules safe and effective? (I couldn't find reviews on them).

Is the inconsistent pricing intentional? Or just because you haven't had time to focus on making Ceretropic strictly "exotic" and ND strictly "mainstream"?

I never planned on doing bulk powders when I started Ceretropic. However, things have changed a lot since then. When ND first shut down, and we took on a lot of powders, our purchasing power was a lot lower. Then when I purchased Nootropics Depot, we had to modify our pricing strategy to compete in a different market segment than we were used to. This also forced us to buy in much larger quantities than we were before, which of course was funded by Ceretropic. We had planned on altering things at Ceretropic to differentiate the two sites, like custom high-quality boxes, and metal wrapped glass jars, but then had to deal with a lot more issues than we planned. So the transition has taken longer than we anticipated, and our strategy has changed a couple times as well. Essentially we put a hold on any changes to Ceretropic, till we fixed the major issues we have been having. The relaunch of ND also did not goes as planned either, so it has been a moving target for a bit now. However, the new site and changes are going to bring things more in line with a unified strategy.
