Question about KSM-66 Ashwagandha from Amazon

Original post in this thread

sandwarrior98 · 9 points

Hi all, I recently received an order for the KSM-66 Ashwagandha from Nootropics Depot off Amazon, however I’m concerned about the legitimacy of my item. The review pictures and posted pictures of the product show a blueish-purpleish bottle however I received a white, plastic bottle. Not sure if this is a legitimate product from Nootropics Depot... pictures below

That's legitimate. We have some products on our main site that are also in white bottles now, too. Sometimes there are supply chain shortages for the blue PETE bottles, so we temporarily shift to white bottles. Also, we have moved to white HDPE bottle for fish oils and other softgels, since HDPE is much better at blocking moisture than PETE. We are assessing how that goes, and we might shift to all white HDPE at some point in the future. We are also investigating the possibility of doing PETE jars with a PVDC coating, which would be the best of both worlds. However, we are not sure if that is possible yet.

Yes, we found that interesting. They are claiming they only ever use compendial methods to test and rank products, so the fact that the updated methods for testing Ashwagandha that we use (that are looking at a much larg

We can't get 1/4 of the price. That's my point. Our cost for raw materials is not as low as you think. We just don't have the gross margins you think we do. I really wish we did. It would make my mission a lot easier. An
