Serious question what is wrong with Mitsui? I thought they were a decent company?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Nootropics Depot & Natrium Health

I have not had any business dealings with Mitsui, so I can't say. They might be fine. They are just one of the largest corporate groups in the entire world. The post was about large corporations buying up small supplement companies. I think a lot of people are upset with the consolidation into large multinational conglomerates instead of more competition from small to medium businesses.

Is Nootropics Depot a good brand? Are they a scam?

Replying to Mobile_Anywhere_4784 · I think it’s hilarious how much people read into the various brands. Most of these supplements are absolute commodities that are all manufactured in the same global facilities. But…

LOL, our global facility with 90 employees in Tempe Arizona? We started here on Reddit 10 years ago, and have grown with the support of Redditors that entire time. We are far from a global commodity brand. Moreover, we a

Why nobody should use Uridine, in my opinion

Replying to jimmythegreek1 · thoughts u/MisterYouAreSoDumb ? Was just going to buy your new TAU supp.

The issue is that many people talk about things with a level of certainly that I don't think is appropriate, given the available scientific data. Uridine is certainly involved in cancer, and plays a role in tumorigenesis

Your Shoden is fine. They didn't test it properly. They are only looking at 8 of the over 40 withanolides. The entire point of Shoden was to expand the scope of the methods to look at a larger grouping of withanolides, a
