I was a huge fan of Nootropics Depot however they are just getting too big at this point to handle their demand on sales. That’s great for them, but for the rest of us it means waiting weeks on end for them to restock, and now with them being on Amazon I would imagine you will see the “sold out” sign more often than not. I have been looking at alternative sites like nootropicsource.com and supplementsforwork.com which appears to have replaced Powder City, and of course purenootropics.com. Does anybody have any experience with those or have any others they’d recommend?
As for nootropics depot, I know the owner is active on here. If you’re reading this, if you could comment on your plan to keep up with demand for your products, I’d appreciate that. Coluracetam has been out of stock for 2 weeks and I’ve given up on ever seeing Synapsa Bacopa powder.

Could you elaborate on this Chinese shortage ? How can it be explained ? What is the current status ?

China put new environmental regulations in place, and started actually enforcing them. This caused them to shut down hundreds of factories and labs. Many of them were making precursors used in a lot of syntheses for certain nootropics. On top of that, many natural extract suppliers were shut down for violating environmental regulations as well. So it has caused massive supply issues. In response, many products have doubled in price, and the total supply is lower. However, demand stayed the same. So this is why there is a shortage.
None of the suppliers or labs we used were shut down. However, the loss in supply as a whole has affected everyone.
