Why no Semax?

Title basically says it all. I know Ceretropic carried it before they shut down so why not nootropics depot? It would definitely be a good source to buy it from considering the reputation, assurance, and quality control ND is famous for. With that comes the question of why other things such as Selank or even peptides aren’t available. Is it due to a legal issue? If so this was purely a suggestion and question as to if and when it would be released if it’s being considered.

Yes, legal and regulatory issues were a big part of why I shut Ceretropic down. A lot has changed since Ceretropic's heyday. Frankly, I probably never would have started Ceretropic if I knew then what I know now. I was a bit naive of the risk back in the beginning. But hey, I set out to reshape the nootropics industry, and push it forward by advancing the lab testing, quality control, shipping, and customer support standards that people now consider normal. They were not normal when I started Ceretropic. Nobody shipped same-day or 6 days a week back then. Nobody had their own in-house analytical testing lab. Nobody had the QA/QC procedures to the level we do now. Some people might take it for granted these days, but these things exist because of what I did at Ceretropic. So while Ceretropic itself may be no more, its legacy lives on and continues to grow with Nootropics Depot and Natrium Health. The seed I planted with Ceretropic has grown even farther than I could have imagined, and will one day be a defining force for change in the entire supplement industry.
I will say this, though... people should not take for granted good things while they have them. We sometimes fall into a complacent mindset when we get used to things, but they are not a given. They can disappear at a moment's notice, and all that will be left will be the longing memory of the good old days. There are not many people fighting to improve the nootropics industry like I am. When left to itself, the industry will shift back towards lowest-hanging-fruit profit generation. I can only fight for so long. It takes all of you to demand others step up to the plate. If everyone remains complacent, and relies on a single person to pioneer advancements in testing and safety, then there is a single point of failure in the system. I can't be the only one pushing for companies to be better. I can't be the only one trying to hold people accountable. It takes all of you to demand change for it to actually systematically happen.
