I was going to buy some supplements from Nootropics Depot official website but I'm not really sure if they are legit.

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 people feel good about paying 3X more. Humans are funny.

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 actually go out and test the products from these bigger brands, and they fail all the time. We test them in the analytical testing lab that I built from nothing with the support of people here. You are right that conglomerates like Nestle have been buying up brands like Pure Encapsulations and Garden of Life. Other conglomerates like Kirin own brands like Thorne. There is a lot of consolidation in the market that accelerated with COVID. However, we are sill here doing what we have always done, owned 100% by me, relying on the support of people here on Reddit to survive in this industry that I have come to hate.
Here is me walking around our lab on my phone from last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VkhuGK21U8
We have built out even more, and added more equipment since, but that gives you a look into things. We are not like other brands, and we absolutely do things differently than everyone else. We don't use contract manufacturers. We do everything ourselves here at our facility in Tempe.
