Either ND are having some apocalyptic stock issues, or they are completely eliminating powders from their line-up altogether:
Ginseng Leaf powder - out of stock
Ginseng Root powder - out of stock
Rhodiola 3% Rosavins Powder - out of stock
Rhodiola 3% Salidrosides powder - out of stock
Red reishi ultra concentrated powder - out of stock
Red Reishi 8:1 powder - out of stock
Holy basil - out of stock for 3+ months now
Coq10 powder - out of stock
I could go on...
I appreciate powders do not sell well compared to capsules but I AM BEGGING YOU ND DO NOT PHASE THEM OUT - you are going to alienate the guys that have been with you from the start.
Do not pander to the TikTok generation!
NootropicsDepot was always about being modular, the freedom to create your own stacks and giving people more choice not less.
Stay true to your DNA and do what you know is right - not what is most profitable. You are more than a business, goddamn it!
Please don't make me pay 2x for vegetable cellulose.
Surely I'm not the only one??

You know what would be awesome? If you could do lab analyses of other companies products and tell us which ones that you don’t sell are the highest quality

The big issue I face is that I am running our lab pretty much at capacity. We are doing so many scientific projects that we don't have free capacity to do a whole lot else. We are still doing a lot of market research and testing on products in the industry, but mostly for things we sell. Also, we have to develop and validate methods to be able to test things. If we are not selling that product, we can't dedicate the months of work to that development and validation. It makes no sense for us.
We are funding the Future Nutra Foundation, and donating both money and lab time for those rounds, though. That's going to be releasing a lot of testing on brands across the industry. The first round is on electrolytes, which should publish soon. The big deal here is this will be the first consumer protection and lab testing nonprofit in the supplement industry. Most people don't realize, but the existing players in the space like LabDoor and Consumer Lab are for-profit companies, with LabDoor being invested in heavily by private capital. They are businesses trying to make money off consumers and brands. Future Nutra is a nonprofit that will be releasing results to consumers for free. Nobody will have to pay to see the lab results, and it will not be trying to sell product through affiliate links like LabDoor.
