Nootropics Depot not posting negative review

Thanks! I have 80 employees, and I do have a lot of different right-hand men/women for various things. However, the things that are overloading me right now are difficult for me to let go of. I've tried to let go of some

All reviews have to be combed through for disease claims and stuff like that. It's just the synthetics that are the big issue. I still have to manually edit all the natural ones that discuss diseases, too. Sometimes that

Yeah, I still am holding on to things that I should probably let go of. You are right, even just for my own sanity.

I have no other choice. Either I give up and admit defeat, or I do the best I can within the system as it stands. Maybe, just maybe, I can change parts of the system over time. Thank you for the support! I really do appr

It's crazy how some people have gained the skills to seem perfect in an interview, but completely do a 180 after being hired. People are complex. Managing one person is difficult enough. Managing 80, while trying to grow

We are always trying to make small changes to lighten the load, but these are pretty complex problems that many people are not even aware of. Nobody even thinks about the legal liability for the site when they say: "This

For sure. I was more responding to everyone in general, not just you. You remember the early days. It was a whole different world. I have worked very hard to make this industry safer, more open, and reliable than it was.

Wow, 30 years! That's longer than me! It certainly was a different time back then. I am glad that our efforts to improve the industry have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for the support!

I've heard a lot of crazy shit lately that isn't true. Our phenibut and phenylpiracetam are the exact same quality they always have been. We will never release a batch that isn't 100% what it is supposed to be. Never. We

For sure. I am discussing it with the team now. We already offer that for alpha-GPC, as a 99% and a 50%. I see no reason we couldn't for some of these other ones.

It's happening every day to companies all around you, unfortunately. Our lawyers work with a lot of other companies, too. They tell us stories of other cases they have been on. I have heard a lot of shit now. The scummy

I wouldn't say the nicest! LOL. However, I do try to be as good as I can.

I really am proud of the results of our efforts in this industry! It's why I keep doing what I do. I see the effect we have had on the industry as a whole. When I was just a customer like everyone else back before early

I have kind of created this beast that is hard for me to get out from under. The public relations of the company has been me for so long, now people expect me and me alone. People write me all the time simply because it

I've become pretty jaded by the legal system in the US, that's for sure.

Comment · Wed, February 24, 2021 · 3 pts

Yeah, a legal framework around what is and is not allowed is definitely being worked on. It's just not always clear at first. I wish the law was black and white. It would make it a lot easier. Even the shit we deal with

Good luck suing Amazon. They fight everything, and drag out it as long as possible. They are the big guy now. You play by their rules. Even if you win, you kind of lose. Hell, if you want to get really angry, look up the

You are talking about Section 230. That only applies to forums like Reddit, or places like Facebook and Twitter. That doesn't apply to sites selling consumer products. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230

Well I would have preferred it under different circumstances, but I'll take any win I can get right now. LOL

Yeah, I am okay. This is nothing new. I have been fighting these battles for years. It seems to come in waves. I was just literally about to go to sleep when at text came in from someone alerting me to this post, so I st

Saying: "I took this synthetic compound and got these effects." would be a structure/function claim. Saying: "I take this synthetic compounds because it increases my serotonin levels." would also be a structure/function

I mean, just look at the history of the vendors in the nootropics space. Many are shut down and out of business now. It's a minefield, for sure.

Just like Michael Scott can't just declare bankruptcy by saying out loud in the office, iHerb can't declare away their liability. LOL. They can have whatever disclaimers they want on the site. Doesn't mean it will hold u

Agreed. The more you dig into what is going on in the world around you, the more disgusted you get with things. Tragedy of the commons.

Talk to any company with a good amount of success and ask them if they have to deal with lawsuits. I guarantee you will be surprised by the answer. I am not even surprised when one comes in anymore. It's just a part of d

Why does anyone do anything? They probably think it does something. However, we have had multiple lawsuits dealing with it now, and I can tell you it doesn't. iHerb is the one approving those statements and allowing them

Comment · Thu, February 25, 2021 · 2 pts

The issue is legal liability. Approving one review with certain wording in it could mean another lawsuit shows up on my desk. It's not even a hypothetical. We have had multiple now, and eyes are on us. I can't delegate s

Absolutely. All three would be instances that could have iHerb sued for marketing zinc as a drug.

Yeah, that will likely be what we do, once we get the framework up for what is/is not allowed.

Scoops are not accurate forms of measurement, and we feel including them is irresponsible. Scoops measure volume, not mass. Dosing is always done by mass. Volume of a powder varies a lot batch to batch. Moreover, volume

I'm trying to change as much as I can in this industry, but fixing our legal system is a whole other beast. I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

Yeah, they are fine. We have done long-term stability studies with NAC. We tried to get it to oxidize, and we did not detect any in the lab. It's very very stable in normal conditions. The last 6 digits of your lot numb
