I actually just wrote most of this in a comment on /r/Nootropics, but I figured I would make a post here for everyone. We have been getting a lot of emails about this, so I wanted to address it.
Consumerlabs recently released a report of a bunch of ashwagandha products on the market. They did not test any of our products.

I just looked up the logs and spoke to our merchant bank. The issuer declines are at a normal percentage, and the MCC code on Natrium is the same as Nootropics Depot. So your bank should see them the same, as they are exactly the same. The only thing they can think of is that fact that "health" is in the descriptor for Natrium's MID. Maybe your bank sees anything with health in it as higher risk?
