Nothing beats 20 mg of Pregnenolone for me, yet 500 mg sublingual from PowderCity doesn't do me a thing.

EDIT 2: I've now tried up to 1500 mg and I don't feel a difference.

EDIT: PowderCity removed this product from their catalog. It was still there 2 days ago. Here's some proof I've bought this: Package and Order.

-----
10-20 mg of a brand like natural source makes me feel quite different and anxious, but intellect wise nothing beats pregnenolone for me, and I tried more than half of what's available from a vendor like say Ceretropic. Yet, at best, what I can feel from 500 mg of the PowderCity stuff can easily be placebo.

The simplest explanation isn't always the right one, but it would be that PowderCity Pregnenolone is very strongly adulterated/diluted.

What else could account for that?
Have some of you have doubts about products they bought from PowderCity in the past? If so, what was the product and what made you think so?

-----
Because some of you will be kind enough to make sure I know: I'm aware that 500 mg is very high dose and many would consider taking such dosage daily dangerous for my health. I only took that dose 3 times to test PC stuff, starting with smaller dosages and building up to 500 because smaller…

/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb would you be interested in testing a few PowderCity products for our community? Many as so obviously sketchy, you'd be sure to hit some interesting things ...

Like this Pregnenolone that doesn't do nothing at 1.5 gram when I'm used to feel it at 10 mg. Or their Taurine that doesn't taste like Taurine and doesn't dissolve good in water. Or their Tongkat Ali that taste and feels exactly like instant coffee. Then you google Tongkat Ali coffee and you find out there's some Tongkat Ali instant coffee suppliers out there ... yet what you ordered was just "Tongkat Ali". Etc, etc ...

I mean, I certainly can test it. However, I do this a lot. People send me samples from PC every couple months, thinking it's impure or fake, but everything always tests fine. I actually spoke about this a month or so ago.

Is ND done launching new products?

We are absolutely NOT done with new products. We are in the thick of development for a bunch of them. Some of them are just taking longer than expected to get perfect, so we have had a lull in releases. That's just becau

Sigma - New supplement containing Tongkat Ali made in collaboration with A.Huberman.

There are so many bullshit tongkats on the market now, especially after Huberman went on Rogan. I am just going to be very direct here, as I no longer have the time nor the energy for bullshit. Anyone selling a 200:1 ton
