To the team at Nootropics Depot, I’m curious to know what are some in-house favorites among the products you sell?
What stacks do you guys take that drive development of such great products?

Are you trying out lutein for the eyes?

No, this one is because of COVID-19, actually. This is due to Nrf2 in the lungs. My team and I have been doing a lot of research on the virus, and trying to elucidate mechanisms in the hopes of hitting its main pharmacokintetic and pharmacodynamic effects.

Lutein Suppresses Oxidative Stress and Inflammation by Nrf2 Activation in an Osteoporosis Rat Model
Nrf2 protects human alveolar epithelial cells against injury induced by influenza A virus
That last paper mentions lutein specifically. Might not be clinically relevant when we get all the info later, but certainly won't hurt me to take for now!
