Does anyone have any experience with now foods products? They have some supplements that nootropicsdepot doesnt carry and i was wondering about their safety certifications and efficacy for people who have tried it...

NOW is one of the better ones. It's one brand that I have used for years. However, we have tested some of their stuff that did fail our lab testing for content analysis. It was under label claim for actives. Basically NOW, Jarrow, Life Extension, and Thorne are the main other brands I have trusted personally for years. However, all of them have failed one or more times in our lab... except for Thorne. Thorne is the only other brand that so far has not had any products fail our lab testing. Now that is mostly because we have not tested a ton of Thorne's stuff, but so far we have not had one of their results fail. Everyone else has failed me at least once, which has only made me more jaded towards the state of the supplement industry. I basically don't buy other brand's products anymore. I know there are some good brands/products/batches, but the data I have seen in our lab has now made me pretty much lose all faith in things that I don't personally verify. The only other brand product I currently use is Solaray Reacta-C, but that's because it is a proprietary blend that I react well to. I have not tested that in the lab, though. I suppose I should, but then the one last product I still trust will likely just shatter what little is left of my spirit.
