Since we have gotten multiple failures from Jarrow now, they will be one we test every time in our rounds.

That's 200 capsules. You always pay less per dose with higher amounts. I am sure we could meet that price if we offered a larger size. We would likely do a 240ct, though. Also, we have tested multiple things from Jarrow

Ohh man, where have you been? I took over Nootropics Depot 5 years ago. In fact, our relaunch post was exactly 5 years ago yesterday. I brought all operations under the Ceretropic team back then, and we ran them in tande

You can just take a handful of these tablets and shove them up your ass if you want to! ;-)

We have to balance preferences for everyone, and one of the biggest complaints we get is the size of capsules/tablets. It might be cool for you to take larger ones, but it would be a deal-breaker for the vast majority of

I was taking EMIQ myself for a while, but it made me very aggressive/on edge. This was echoed by a few other people in our office that were taking it. We still might offer EMIQ, but we wanted to bring out normal querceti

No, the powder is too sticky and static-prone. It was a mess to deal with, so we made the decision to just not offer it in powder. People would hate working with it, which would mean they would be upset and regret buying

They were one of mine as well, until recently. If we didn't carry it, I would only use Jarrow, Life Extension, NOW, and Source Naturals. However, we recently tested a few things from them, and Jarrow, Life Extension, AND

Thorne was bought by a venture capital company, WestView Capital Partners, who then moved their operations to South Carolina. I assume for tax reasons. Not certain, though. Then WestView sold their stake to Kirin and Mit

Yeah, palmitoylethanolamide is good as well. It does it through a different mechanism, though. https://nootropicsdepot.com/articles/palmitoylethanolamide-and-its-pain-management-benefits/

Can you really say you have tried a supplement if you haven't boofed it at least once?

Comment · Wed, September 16, 2020 · 5 pts

Yeah, I understand the psychology of it. I don't blame people for it. I tend to operate the same way as well. It's just human nature. It can just be frustrating for us, as I don't want to pay people for reviews like ever

Definitely. I am starting to come around to the idea we need to market ourselves more, not just our products or our educational blogs. Sometimes I forget that many people have not been here on Reddit seeing us grow from

You can see we started setting that up. If you look at our spec sheets, we had isometric images made for each methodology used. Those are also on the COAs. Then we will use those isometric images in the blog so that peop

Interesting! I had not seen that. We did the milk thistle testing because we are bringing out new milk thistle capsules. So we just decided to do a round of testing to see how things stacked up. We are doing that on most

That's because Amazon ranks you based on sales velocity. If you lower your price for a bit, that gets your sales velocity up. Then you raise it, and Amazon makes more money off their commission, so they increase your ran

I think we are already working on it for nigella sativa. Pomella just doesn't sell very well. I have been keeping it alive because I think it is a good product, but my team wants to kill it.

We got 94.69mg per capsule for Jarrow. Their spec is 150mg. I am not sure how they passed on Consumer Lab, as 101mg is less than 150mg... LOL NOW Double Strength is what we tested. The label claim is 300mg per capsule.

>Also I could look it up but since I got you could the adenosine antagonism stimulatory response be inhibited by its interaction with pkc? It's possible, as PKC does affect circadian rhythm and sleep recovery.

Comment · Sun, September 20, 2020 · 2 pts

I'll have to confirm with the lab what is on the label of the one we got. Perhaps I was mistaken on the label claim, and it was 120mg instead of 150mg. Even so, 94.69mg and 101mg is less than 120mg.

I know, it is a good product! People just need to actually buy it to justify it.

I'll have it made from something else, then crush up some peanuts into it just for you!

I think most people are in the same boat. It's not a "sexy" product that has a lot of hype, so people don't really look into it.

Yep, we discontinued Sytrinol for low sales. It does suck, because it is a really cool product. We do have plans for a metabolic stack for Natrium. We already have a tentative formulation.

I'd love for magnolia bark to be effective at 10mg, but real world experience makes me question that finding. It's a great supplement, though. You just need to get into the 100-300mg range.

It has really cool cognitive effects, too. We tried putting it on deep sale. We tried pushing it in emails. It just wouldn't sell well. Sometimes things are like that. You have cool products that just go nowhere because

We have like 10 stacks that we have been working on for like 3 years. Supply chain issues have forced us to hold back for a while. I think our next one will be our take on a uridine/DHA stack with some cool things in it.

We don't really look for contaminants. We are mostly doing assays to assess label claims. There could be contaminants, but we won't know unless we look. That's a bigger project, as you kind of have to know what you are l

We didn't test for contaminants, only for label claims. So our testing shows lower concentrations than claimed, but doesn't necessarily show they are unsafe. However, if they missed simple things like concentration of ac
