Nootropics Depot quality under-represented on new supplement app

Posting this to make ND team aware that supp.co just had their public launch and has some pretty heavy hitters in terms of influence for their board members / advisers. The app is actually useful for tracking my stack, finding substitutes, etc. However, ND’s quality is mischaracterized - for example their COAs are not acknowledged.
I am hoping that ND could reach out to their team as I believe the app has potential to drive people to ND’s products.

Don't worry, according to this your CMO could be a ND, MD, OD or PhD (do they require a specific PhD or could the CMO be a PhD in marketing or business?)

Contract manufacturers in the supplement industry are usually just randos that are the lowest bidder for brands. None of them are going to have PhDs on staff! That's pharma shit. Even if they did, how do they even verify any of this? Are they getting diploma certificates from brands showing these people's PhDs, then calling the universities to verify them? Why the fuck would a medical doctor work at a contract manufacturer? Does it need to be the owner, or can he hire PhDs? If they can hire PhDs to work for them and have that count, why can't I?

A marketing or business PhD!!!! If I saw someone with one of those, and they were not in a leadership role at a university, I would actually purposefully not hire them! Who the hell would go down that path unless they wanted to teach marketing or business at a university level? Hmmm yes, I am a doctor... a doctor of MARKETING! LOL
