I can understand objections from readers of this sub that perceive this post as a commercial shill, but I think that there is legitimate interest for those at /r/nootropics of this latest development, especially among those who have been tracking the increasing challenges in the nootropics market for reliable vendors over the past three years or so. For those who weren't already on ND or Ceretropic's emailing lists, this latest brand launch represents a new avenue of availability for certain natural compounds previously only available on Ceretropic, but this time with credit-card processing that will likely be much less hampered than it was at Ceretropic.
I'll leave it to others to comment further, including perhaps even /u/misteryouaresodumb himself, but I'll note that there is a rewards program, a newsletter to sign up for, and a free-shipping threshhold. Best wishes to the team as it continues to navigate the regulatory and business landscape!

We've been working on this new brand for a few years now. Today is finally the day when we publicly launch it! We've modified our original plans a bit, and anyone that has been speaking to me privately has probably been hearing about this possible new brand for quite some time. Originally we were going to release all the stacks that we have been working on for a couple years. However, we decided to do more of a soft-launch with the natural solutions that many people already know from us. Then we are going to release the stacks we have developed regularly over time. This is going to allow us to not only stress-test the new Ecommerce platform, but will allow us a more gradual release of what we have been working on. Releasing all the stacks at once not only would have overwhelmed customers with a bunch of new offerings, but it would have also overwhelmed my team. So this new plan is going to work a lot better for us. So the goal of the launch right now is just to introduce everyone to the new brand that is going to be our focus going forward, and to get everyone associating it with the same team they know and love from ND and Ceretropic. The excitement will come soon when we start releasing the real products we have been working on!
That leads me to the real exciting part. We have some new amazing products that we will be releasing soon. R&D for these new products has been going on for over two years in the background, and I think people are going to be very impressed with them. I've been blown away by some of them in my testing, and I am hard to impress these days. One of them actually had me so impressed, I switched around our plans because of how popular I think it will be. We are doing some very novel things, and we are using all-natural ingredients to do it. That's going to be our focus going forward. The regulatory environment is not getting any easier, and I've been hinting to people for quite some time that we are going to be pivoting ourselves. Well this is a big part of that. I can't continue working toward my goal of advancing the standards in the supplement industry if I am constantly tiptoeing around and laying low; like I have been with our other brands. So I need to be able to pivot out into a brand that doesn't have those limitations. Natrium Health is that brand.
Obviously the same level of service and support you have come to expect from my other brands is going to apply to Natrium as well. In addition, we have moved to Magento for our new Ecommerce platform. So we are going to have more features than our other sites. Initially we have a rewards program up and running. More features to that rewards program will be added over time. We also have other cool features that will be coming soon, like cancelling of an order that has not yet shipped, modifying orders, enhanced tracking of COAs, etc. So this new platform will give us more freedom to make the shopping, checkout, and tracking processes easier on everyone. So that should be pretty cool!
As always, I am eternally grateful for everyone's support here. The Reddit community has been such a big part of what has kept me going through all the hurdles of the past couple years. I probably would have burnt out and became a crazy person living in a cabin in the woods, had it not been for the sheer amount of support that I have received from the countless Redditors. So I sincerely thank all of you for that, and I hope to be able to help the community a lot more as we make some of thee changes over the rest of the year.
