Same product, different vendors, different results. Is this normal? Powder City/Ceretropic

Original post in this thread

Due to the Great Powder City Crisis of 2016 I had to find another source for my Adrafinil. I researched reputable vendors and finally settled on Ceretropic. My experience with PC's Adrafinil has always been clean, long lasting and extremely effective. The Adrafinil from Ceretropic felt off, clunky and delayed. I had to reconfigure dosage all over again even though I've been using Adrafinil for almost a full year now, in the end wasting product and therefore money. I am not saying that something is wrong with Ceretropic's product, only that it did not give me the specific effects that I have come to associate with Adrafinil.

What I want to know from you, O Great Reddit Community, is if differences like these are to be expected from one vendor to the next, or if nootropics and their effects are generally consistent across the board. I have only ever used PC, so I have nothing but this one instance to use as a comparison.

I'd just like to have a reliable backup in case something like this temporary shortage happens again in the future. What say you, wise ones? Should I expect similar experiences in the future with other companies? Have you?

Pramiracetam was the most effective thing for me, but not as much anymore. I can't figure out why.

That can happen, and I think it has something to do with cortisol and prolactin. Many have had success getting the effectiveness back by taking Phosphatidylserine. I was curious about it too, which is one of the reasons we just started offering Phosphatidylserine softgels. I found that taking it alongside my racetam stack made it way more effective. So there seems to be something behind the theory.

Any intermittent-fasters here? When do you take your Noots?

Replying to Iscariot- · Yeah no shit. I’ve had this same thought for years, no idea why it’s not a thing. Psssst u/MisterYouAreSoDumb

It's way more complex than anyone here realizes. Also, just because something is fat soluble does NOT mean you need to take it with fat to absorb. I have ranted about that many times on here. Take aniracetam for example.

Is Absorb Your Health legit?

I recently tested their Pramiracetam capsules, and they were totally fake. No Pramiracetam was in them. I also tested their Panax Ginseng capsules last year, and they were totally fake too. No ginseng in the capsules at

My Pramiracetam is just a solid crystal. Was I supposed to store it below room temperature, or is there something wrong with it?

Replying to ParMatrix · That does not look right.

Unless it really is crack, and you are the mayor of Toronto. Then it looks perfect!
