The new optimized Vitamin E
Original post in this thread

Start off with the fact that I appreciate ND a lot. I've been a customer for years and follow closely for anything new.
But I couldn't understand the point this time.
If actually aiming for an optimized d-alpha tocopherol supplement, one probably expects the formulation of something like D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) - this is a derivative that seems like a very stable water-soluble version that also acts as an absorption enhancer by itself (similar to piperine). In a glance, just a truly superior version, as far as alpha-tocopherol can go.
...that's how I normally view ND. Always in advance to a degree. So creating an optimized Vitamin E as straight up d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate just seems a little bit odd now.
For a split second I had to hypothesize the actual reason for this release is just an excess of Vitamin E supply you had from the OmegaTAU. I wasn't sure it is as optimized as I wanted to guess: the dose is low (unexpectedly my multivitamin appeared to contain 2x the dosage in the same form) and from my quick research the human evidence for superior pharmacokinetics isn't much there as well.
From my point of view, there is so much more…

Nah, bro. You aren't who I was speaking of. I've shown my gratitude to myasd as well, and continue to recommend nootropics depot because of their transparency and seeming sincerity to create and distribute quality products
I literally saw someone call him a god in a post the other day. I just consistently see people going way overboard as if they're afraid he's going to take their favorite product off the line or they think he'll give them a discount... A God (I shit you not) lol
I see it all over though, with YouTube influencers as well. It's disturbing to me that people are being "followed" so intensely

Seriously though... I don't encourage people treating me as anything other than just another person trying to make things better for people. However, I do know my heart is in the right place. So if some people want to look up to me, rather than some of the other asshats out there, I guess I should just be flattered.
