Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know I left a negative review on a product on Nootropics Depot 1-2 months ago now and it hasn't been published. There have been reviews published since then as well. Just want to put this out there for anyone looking at products off the site because they all usually have 5 star ratings.
Also, this was not just a negative review because it didn't work for me but because the product became completely unusable in my 'climate' and there was no warning on the website or on the packaging.
Edit: I have answered most questions in the comments so make sure to read them for more information.

But they added it for some reason, why would it be if it won't do anything?

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 to be on their website. That means they are now iHerb's marketing statements. If a customer makes a review that says: "I bought X product from iHerb and it cured my ADHD!" iHerb can absolutely be sued for marketing their product as a drug. Statements that show up on iHerb are under the control of iHerb, and as such they are considered their marketing statements. We've gone through the legal interpretation of this shit. Trust me, I wish it was different. I wish Section 230 covered it, but it doesn't. I wish I could just put disclaimers on the site to hand wave away our liability, but that's not how the law works.
Honestly, I could make a lot of money with the knowledge I have now. I could fire off 100 lawsuits next month to all our competitors, and I would win them. I am not a piece of shit, so I won't. However, I absolutely could, and I absolutely would win them all. It's cost me a lot of money to learn these lessons. It could cost them a lot of money to learn them, too.
