This might be best answered by /u/misteryouaresodumb but I thought I'd post the question because it might be useful for others who are curious.
Is it true that $150k worth of supplies have been lost and rejected? And there's $500k currently in limbo? And certain supplies like bottles could end up arriving in a year from purchase?
I'm wondering what sort of risk this poses for Nootropics Depot?
Are there any details regarding what has caused customs to clamp down so tightly? Is there a foreseen date of when things will loosen up or is this probably going to persist under the current administration?
I'm just curious about the details around this\\these issues.

I think the WHO called it a disease. I personally think it is ok to call it a disease, especially when we start to see our health fail as a result of aging. And this can happen quite young, as even our reflexes are worse at 22 than at 17, if those SC II annual championships are anything to go by. this to me is the very first indicator that is worth mentioning.
( Learned helplessness comes to mind, in terms of our acceptance of aging as natural and ok )
Personally, I am very much NOT ok with aging. At 40, my health is rapidly failing. I can't imagine how bad it would be without high levels of self care and healthy lifestyle. But lumber grading will destroy many a poeerson.
Just because we all age and die, doesn't mean it is not a disease, in my own view.
Whether it should be classified as such, I suppose many people will disagree. And I gather you do very much! But that's ok, and obviously goes without saying. But, I am surprised considering your product line and all the stuff about telomerase. But it's all good.

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. You are aging right now. Does that mean you are currently fighting a disease? Words have meaning. We can't go around and start applying them to anything we want.
The definition of disease is:
a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms or that affects a specific location and is not simply a direct result of physical injury.
Natural aging is not a disorder of structure or function of the human body. Aging can lead to increased risk for disorders of the structure and function of the body, but aging itself is not a disorder.
