Supply chain breakdown risks for Nootropics Depot?

Yeah, definitely true. Shit's fucked right now. It's not just our industry, either. It's ALL industries. I am replacing all the ACs at my house, and their is an air conditioner shortage. I am also replacing the roof righ

We can only speculate. Our thought is that Trump was diverting funds from customs to fund the border wall, then Biden cancelled that with that executive order he signed. I believe this resulted in the funding that they w

Nothing. If it's in stock, it's in stock. We never sell things we don't have. We might just go out of stock on some things temporarily.

I certainly agree. However, many of the supply chain shortages are from the US, not from China. Our plastics all come from the US. They use the petroleum refined in Texas for it. So it's not just China being a problem ri

Thanks for the heads up! I will let the team know.

Yeah, the roof of the Trane production facility caved in with those snow storms that happened a couple months ago. Just craziness across the board.

No, they are inspecting everything that is a supplement or chemical right now. Doesn't matter what it is. It's pretty much across the board.

It's hard to say. NMN, polygala, gotu kola, adrafinil, and a few others are out of stock right now. Polygala was released today, though. NMN is in production. We were supposed to have a sample of the finished tablets las

December was just when things started to slow down. It was January when they started stopping and inspecting everything. Could have been a Trump guy fucking shit up on the way out, too. Who knows. It's not like we will g

Yeah, I have been preparing for that for years. I've made sure to diversify us for the past 4-5 years, because it is probably only a matter of time.

Our government seems to be hell bent on taking everyone's free choice away from them. It's strange. We are moving toward nationwide recreational marijuana use, but we can't have cognitive liberty to try and improve our c

It doesn't seem to be getting better, that's for sure. Now they are talking about passing DSHEA 2.0, which will change the legal framework around supplements. I can't imagine it will change for the better. Our government

If aging is a disease, and everyone ages, then we are all diseased from birth? We can never be considered healthy because we are all aging? Or are we only diseased past a certain age? What is that age? 18? 25? 35? 45? Wh

I disagree that aging is a disease. Aging can increase the risk of diseases, but itself is not a disease. You can get Alzheimer's or Parkinson's as you age. Those are diseases. The underlying aging is not. We all age. Yo

That's what I would think, but literally every single one of our packages has been inspected the past few months. I reached out to a couple other people in the industry importing similar products, and all of theirs have

Sure, but everyone ages. Everyone starts having things give them problems as they get older. That doesn't mean the disease is aging itself. It just means diseases and disorders become more likely as you age. Some people

Supplements can't help diseases, per the FDA. That's like their main sticking point. Supplements cannot diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure a disease. If you are trying to do that, it's a drug. Yes, even vitamin C is a dru

That would make sense. I knew they couldn't be inspecting every single package across the board. That would be insanity. I guess I should have clarified that I meant every package of ours, and similar companies to us.

Yes, everyone dies. However, death is not a disease. It's a natural process that everyone goes through. Death can be an outcome of diseases, but itself is not a disease. I think that is my sticking point here. Diseases a

Well if they want to keep getting access to things that might help, they should change their tune real quick. If everyone agrees that aging is a disease, then the FDA will cut off access to anything that might help. Then

That's an actual classification of a disease... Does everyone have degenerative diseases when they are born? Everyone ages. Not everyone has a degenerative disease. Osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's are types

Delusional... Anyone that has worked in the pharma industry would laugh in their faces for saying that. It's about money, and only money, for that industry. You can immediately tell who hasn't worked in industries like t

What about BH4?

Methylfolate increases BH4. I know some people supplement BH4 directly, but I have not personally tried it, nor have I looked into the science too deeply.
