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??
What they were answering

Def not in any similar business, but couldn't you potentially do what a brand like Gustin does, where once a year you take pre-orders for the niche products that you've already tests/created? So like people stock up for the year and this way you only make as many as you have demand for but people still get their products and you can keep costs low? Just a thought.

Maybe? It's just not something we have ever done, but it could be an option. I think one of the biggest issues, which is again entirely my fault, is that I have created an operation that is so complex and wide-ranging, but also is tied so closely with me. What I mean is that I am personally involved in almost every aspect of what we do. Admittedly, that's because I am a perfectionist that has become so used to just getting into the trenches with my team that I don't really know how to get out of it. I am trying to build teams that are more self-sufficient, which would allow me more freedom to do the high level role I should be doing. However, that is easier said than done. Anyway, we are currently in a big push to bring in more experts to help in the areas we are lacking, and to implement tools that will give us much better data than we have now. Hopefully this data should help us decide on things like whether or not slow selling products are just not in demand, or if there are things we are doing wrong that can be corrected, allowing us to continue offering them.
