Hmmm... Not Disingenuous Or Slanderous At All!

It's hilarious they recommend ForceFactor, DoubleWood, and Nutricost over ND. Also even funnier how they're quoting a dude who was a GNC nutritionist, as GNC SUCKS LMAO. This is so bs and made in bad faith, and clearly slanderous as well.
Nootropics Depot’s drugs scandal and selling unapproved and dangerous substances makes it’s a rather shady company. It’s Tongkat Ali supplements are not even clinically tested, making it less trust worthy compared to other popular US brands.
The use of "drug scandal" like they were selling Fentanyl or something is crazy, and it's even crazier they are basically claiming their products are ineffective and possibly even adultered.
Just wow.

Yeah, they have been lying about us and defrauding consumers for years. Akarali sells Physta, which is the same thing as LJ100. Their owner even made fake reviews about us on Trustpilot using his real name and picture, which I had Trustpilot do an investigation of and remove. Here, you guys want to see it? I always document everything in files that I keep stored. Their owners name is Shahid Shayaa.
Here is the review he posted about us.
You can see I originally reported it as not a genuine experience, because we had no record of this person being a customer. However, when they denied it, I started looking into who this person actually was.
Here is his bio from the Akarali site.
You can see he also owns Berkshire Media, a digital marketing agency... I wonder where all the positive articles about them come from, or the fake positive reviews?!? Who ever could organize that?!?
Here is the section on his LinkedIn that shows his affiliations.
Notice that he was also senior private secretary to the prime ministers department of Malaysia? The Malaysian government literally owns the patent behind Physta/LJ100, and are part owners in the businesses that sell it. This guy is connected to the government of Malaysia through his time working for the prime minister, and his digital marketing company has contracts with the Malaysian government. What's with the governments of the world attacking me? LOL
Here is his bio section on the Berkshire Media page.
So why is this guy attacking me? Well I have called out the fake eurypeptide bullshit for years, and have constantly told people the real numbers that Phytsa and LJ100 contain from a eurycomanone perspective. This guy lies to consumers on his site saying that it contains 3% eurycomanone in some places. Then we buy their shit and test it, and it fails for their own spec!
This page they claim their spec is 1.5% to 3%: https://akarali.com/best-tongkat-ali-united-states/
Here is a screenshot of the section they claim it.
Literally in comparison to ours...
Here is the chromatogram from the Akarali Euryprep 200.
Total eurycomanone content came back at 0.58%, which is far below their claims of 1.5% on their graphs when they compare their shit to ours, and certainly far below the fake 3% number they throw out. It's lower than even the minimum spec of LJ100's claim of 0.8%. This isn't just a one-off, either. They claim it in multiple places on their site.
See here: https://akarali.com/cheap-tongkat-ali/
Just lies all the way down... Marketing is easier when you lie; especially when you own a digital marketing company! Plus, this they completely ignore our 10% eurycomanone Tongkat. They only ever compare to our 2%, and then lie about how much theirs has to boot. If you compare our 10%, ours has an insane amount more eurycomanone as theirs.
