First off, I never used Kanna before but since ND decided to carry it; I wanted to try out their version of it. Upon taking the somewhat bitter tasting 50 mg tablet and letting it dissolve under my tongue, I noticed a very rapid, warm & cozy boost in my mood within about 5 minutes. I simultaneously felt mentally energized yet paradoxically physically relaxed. Kanna would be a great social lubricant to use at parties and big gatherings. Music takes on a deeper fuller vibe (just turned on Deadmau5) particularly trance EDM. The surge of warm energy is unique and very euphoric. The overall experience puts an accent & spice on a dull mundane day. It feeds the inner flame 🔥 within each of us. After about 90 minutes, you are left with an amazing afterglow as the flame burns out into embers that leave you feeling like the experience fades into the background but never fully disappears. Like a perfect decrescendo into a state of bliss that lasts the rest of the day. It’s a very cool compound that is very uplifting. Thank you Nootropics Depot for researching this and bringing it to market.

If I were to make fake reviews, don't you think I would be a bit more strategic about it? I don't shill as a matter of principle, but if I did, I certainly wouldn't do it this way.
I wasn't calling you out for fake-reviewing - just the "strategy". Not that you're even trying to sell people, but people take ND staff's word as gospel and if you WANTED TO you could totally say whatever you want about a product and people would flock to it. I actually have massive respect that you don't, because it helps differentiate products. If you got advisorhead to send you his "reports" and they posted from your account, you could sell out every new product in days lol.
I know you generally focus on releases that you're privy of, but the fact that you make the whole process clear and don't oversell anything is commendable. I was poking fun at C3G because IMO it's the most overhyped and misunderstood compound besides the test/ muscle boosters (TA, Epic, Beta-Ecdy, BORON LOL). At the time, I think it came out with Euleuthero, which in my eyes, is a vastly better product for "bros" and lifting. I've always wondered if you knew before hand that C3G would generate so much hype, and assumed that's part of the research.
Looking back though it wasn't you who said it would cause massive recomp and fat loss, you really only noted the mental/ health side. u/pretty-chill did note the recomp effec…

People only value my words because I don't do things like that. People respect what I say because it is always me honestly saying it. If I went against that, I would lose the trust people have put in me over the years. I value the respect and trust that I have in this community, so I will never violate that. Would I like to sell more products? Absolutely! It's what funds our lab and our ability to develop cool new stuff. However, my motivation is never to just make more money at any cost. That makes it harder, because almost everyone else is only motivated by that, so we are put on an uneven footing. However, if you can't succeed doing things right, then you didn't really succeed.

The sad thing is that the products that sell well are almost all just due to hype. There are cool products that sell poorly for years, no matter how many times I try to get people excited about them. Then someone like Huberman goes on Rogan, and suddenly everyone freaks out over it. Sales 5X overnight, and I finally feel a bit vindicated. Then the vultures descend. Everyone and their mothers that just wants to make money starts selling that thing, and bringing out shit products that undercut us. Then they use influencers and affiliate marketing site, and a lot of shilling, to take the spotlight off us... when we were the ones that recognized the potential of the product first, and did the science to bring out a potent and validated product with it. I fucking hate the modern internet! I hate it to my core. Everything is bought and paid for now. The days of people organically making reviews of things is over. Now all the sites out there are affiliate marketing sites, and they just write articles for the highest bidder. I know this because they approach us. We show them lab testing that the brand they are currently promoting is fake, and they say they will only switch to us if we beat their commission. Just morally bankrupt pieces of shit, and that's literally 95% of the internet now. Then you get to influencers... Why anyone would fucking buy a supplement because some random jabroni on TikTok says to is just beyond my comprehension. However, nobody is buying things today unless influenced to do so. It's like everyone's brains have been rewired, and they want some broccoli haired fuck on Instagram to tell them how to live their lives. They buy shit because of how it makes them feel, not because of the science. These influencers know how to make people FEEL like they made the right decision, so their mesolimbic reward pathway gets activated. People are literally addicted to being influenced now. You see it here on Reddit. You see it on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. People will only buy something if some rando online hypes them up enough to get that little bit of dopamine released in their prefrontal cortex. It's about the feeling one gets when they think they made a good decision, not about whether or not the decision itself was good objectively. It's why pieces of shit usually succeed the most, because they leverage that effect of human cognition to their benefit. The sad part about it is that most people doing it are too stupid to even fully understand what they are doing. They are just "hustling" and "grinding" to make money. They don't stop and actually try to understand what they are doing, nor are some of them even mentally capable of doing so. Sometimes I wish I was just dumb and capable of bending my morals to get ahead, but I am just not. It's not part of how I am wired, so I just keep pushing forward every day doing things the absolute hardest way possible.
In C3G's case, it really is super effective for some people. The biggest responses we have seen are people with GI issues. It seems to be a godsend for certain people in that respect. Is it going to make you lose 6lbs of body fat in a week? Absolutely not. However, it does have strong measurable effects in some people. Other people don't get a whole lot from it, or don't get enough effects to justify the cost. That's just life. I wish everyone responded the same to everything. It would certainly make my life easier, but the reality of things is much more complex. I also get to see a lot more than almost anyone, because people reach out to me or our support team and relay the effects they get. I get to hear things straight from the people who are experiencing it, and I know the interactions are real, because there is no reason for them to embellish to me about it. However, if those same people go and make a review or public post, everyone else is skeptical because they don't know the motivations of the person saying it. It's a weird spot to be in, because I want other people to hear these things, but there is no way to do that without people thinking it's a compensated review or shilling. So I just hope that the information gets out there organically. I also see that people don't try things unless they are hyped, so I just hope the hype builds organically, and that the products live up to the expectations of the people influenced by the hype. They won't for everyone, though. This leads to a negative hype swing back. People are naturally contrarian, so they use those opportunities to say: "See, I told you all it was bullshit!" It's exhausting! I wish everyone could just calm the fuck down, read the research, bioassay things themselves, then objectively relay their experiences. However, that's never going to happen. People are emotional beings, and emotion drives their daily actions more than they realize. Hype, controversy, heated opinions, and arguing all activate that emotional center more than calm objective thought, so we will always be fighting it.
