My wife uses high dose piracetam to help control muscle spasm and twitching. We've been getting it from Nootropics Depot for years, but they're apparently not selling it much longer. (https://www.reddit.com/r/NootropicsDepot/comments/gse1ng/1kg\_piracetam\_in\_stock\_date/fs4mhlz/)
Anyone know of a reliable source with a hopefully not too different price?

Got it thanks for expanding. Makes sense with everything going on with our national trade policy right now.

Regarding the trade policy... I just want to make it clear to everyone, WE pay the tariffs in this trade war, not China. These tariffs are charged to us as a company when good enter port. Our costs go up, so we have to increase prices. This means in the end both us and our customers are paying these tariffs. This is not China paying like our president claims. This is Americans paying an extra tax. You all are paying more than you would have because of this trade war, and China is not being hurt at all. The only people paying for this trade war are you and me; American companies and American consumers.
We are working on shifting out of China, but that is harder than it sounds. For our government to essentially add more taxes on Americans, then say they want to incentivize shifting the supply chain away from China, while giving us literally no tools to actually make that happen, it leaves every American in a worse position. I would LOVE to have more production here. I would do it in a heartbeat. I'd accept that it would cost more, too. However, if there is ZERO actual infrastructure here to do it, and the government won't help out, it just ends up being an extra tax on Americans. If our government was serious about shifting away from China, they would be providing grants to companies to build that infrastructure. Hell, use the revenue from the tariffs in the meantime to fund those grants! Use some of all the fake money they are printing for bailouts to incentivize American businesses to build the infrastructure needed to actually compete with China!
Anyway, that's just a little rant. We are an American company employing over 70 Americans, but it only feels like our government is there to put barriers to our success. It feels like I have had to fight my government continually since I started this company. Not once has it felt like my government has tried to help me succeed in building an American business. If our government doesn't get their heads out of their assess soon, we will be left behind by the rest of the world.
