Reach Genius - Recommendation
Original post in this thread

They seem to have the real deal for everything they sell, even if they aren't investing much in things like packaging (super crappy, and they should spend more money in making it look nicer (the word "invest" doesn't exist in Swedish apparently...) but it's only packaging). They don't have third-party tests, but their supplier provides tests for them, and as I understand it their supplier does not manufacture the product, which is maybe a good thing? Still, third-party testing would obviously be good, but again they REALLY don't want to spend money if they aren't immediately making a profit, which shows their business acumen is somewhat lacking. Moreover, they aren't scientifically literate at all - they know next to nothing - but they seem to be doing everything correctly (the only two steps of importance are getting pure substances, and providing accurate dosages). Of course, nobody has checked against them yet, but this is all I've inferred from my private conversations with them.

Just posting this on here so people know, though - if NootropicsDepot don't do it, these guys are the next safest bet! :) They certainly aren't perfect though, so I've made some criticisms…
What they were answering

Considering there's so few sources for bromo I don't see many options aside from them unless there is someone else you can recommend.
I haven't read any claims from them. Do they post on reddit or somewhere else? Appreciate your input on this.

Yes, there is a distinct lack of sources for tested products like that. I can't recommend anyone at the moment. You might as well organize a group buy and send it off to a lab yourself at this rate. No vendors are going to be what you want them to be, because there is no incentive for them to at the moment. Lack of choice allows them to just do whatever they want. Take their own words for it.

Well, first of all we don't see this requirements of analysis results on other markets. We would be more open to it if we were selling products as research chemicals or in some other shady way, but now the fact is that we're registered as a supplements store in Sweden.
They don't see the need for testing products, because nobody else currently in the market is either. They also say they are registered as a supplement store in Sweden, but as Majalisk linked above that is false.

The COAs they linked are from a Chinese supplier. I know exactly which one it is, but they are playing it off as a 3rd party COA. Again, more lies. They also are trying to use the Swedish customs analysis that identified what substance they were importing as a reliable COA for purity, which is hilarious.
I've also had a bunch of people PMing me over the past couple months saying that they got stuff from them and it did not work at all, or they did not even receive the product. They asked me the same thing: who I would recommend. I said that same thing: nobody. We've also had a bunch of brand new accounts with no history popping up trying to promote them in the background. Just shady things all around.
I wish I could give you a better recommendation, but exactly what I said was going to happen is happening. There is no incentive for vendors of the harder-to-find products to do what is necessary for quality control and testing right now. They even openly admit they don't see the need, because people will buy from them anyway. Quality will keep falling, and things will keep getting harder and harder to find. This will continue unless the legal and regulatory environment changes drastically. I don't see that happening any time soon, though.
