Any plan on making nootropics blends ?

I move a lot and can't take with me all the separates bottles so I rely on all in one blends from other companies. But I love ND and I'm sure that if you guys release pre-made stacks it would be a game changer.

All I'm saying is it's a bit bizarre that nobody's challenging them on this. As I'm sure you're well aware they 100% inflate the price and devalue the competition with their claims. Which takes money out of your pockets. Based on the hundreds of thousands if not millions these people are making, I think another novel form that is shown to increase Magnesium in the brain would be highly profitable, yaknow? So while you've never lied to me and I definitely believe what you're saying at this point, I feel like it'd be cool if you came out with your own Magnesium some day.
Also, I read that Magnesium actually decreases dopamine based on the concentrations. What's your take?

Ohh yeah, I am aware of the profit margins they are making. I wouldn't have to worry about anything if we made those types of profit margins on shit. However, human research studies, and animal brain permeation studies, are not cheap. At least they are backing some of their stuff up with research. I do think the margins are stupid, though.
We have already developed our own magnesium forms. LOL. We've developed a lot of things we don't talk about. We are waiting till we are better suited to defend our patents and run studies to really talk about or release them. I have big plans for a lot of things in the future, and R&D of novel forms of some of these things are a big part of that.
The ratio of calcium to magnesium in the brain definitely can affect dopamine release. I think that relationship can be pretty complex, though. Magnesium has been shown to be effective for treatment treatment-resistant depression, though. So I would imagine getting that balance right is good for dopamine overall. Going too far with anything could cause the opposite effect. I just am not sure at what point that happens.
