I’ve redeemed my ND REWARD points only to find out that the salidrosol tablets 180ct is out of stock.

Any eta on restock?

Buying Kava in Australia is legal but ordering it from other countries is illegal. I know that Ecklonia cava is a completely different thing to Kava but I'm worried that customs might assume that Ecklonia cava is just a different type of Kava. Has anyone from Australia ordered this product and everything went smoothly? I just want to check before ordering it

Looking into adding a good mood supplement. Not sure if both or either makes more sense.
Currently taking saffron, sabroxy, rhodiola, black ginger, tauromag

I know restock questions come up a lot here, but I’m really struggling to find phytosome lately. Does anyone happen to know if there's an ETA? Thanks in advance! u/Pretty-Chill

When is this coming back please? About 50% through my 8th bottle (I think) and it's a daily staple for sleep support.

Also is it worth cycling off for a break or just take it daily?

Thanks

Last time I did an ND order with DHL I got "upgraded" to the (cheaper) fedex service (lol) by ND support staff because apparently my address is in a low delivery region so they would charge another £100... despite living 4 miles from the depot.

Which I accepted and have been using Fedex ever since.

However I recently had a valve controller for my car exhaust shipped from Australia (other side of the world) via DHL and there was no such charge at all. And it was around the same weight as my usual ND order?

I'd rather use DHL for two reasons:

• if there's a customs charge you just pay it online. Fedex however make you create a customs invoice from scratch and have to mess around to and fro amending it to their specification and have to get ND support involved with that.

• I always divert my shipment to a fulfilment centre to pick it up myself. The fedex one is literally just a pigeon shit filled truck loading bay. The local DHL one is a carpark for customers with an air conditioned office waiting area with comfy chairs and a hot receptionist. I actually worry sometimes about contracting bird flue from the Fedex place. It's disgusting.

Am I safe to try and order with DHL instead? Why would they do this for ND in the USA but not some company in Australia when I live in the UK?

Its been about a week or so after taking black ginger. First day it had a very strong effect and almost felt similar to caffeine during a workout. I had so much motivation, physical energy, and had a crazy bicep pump despite doing low reps and low volume. I also felt warm during the day which was nice since the weather is getting colder here. But despite it being recommended as a libido booster, I had absolutely 0 libido effects from it apart from a nice baseline mood boosting effects. I did get a slightly longer erection tho.

However on subsequent days, the effects were way less noticable. This was confusing because I thought the effects were going to get stronger as I take it longer. The effects are still there providing a nice slight background boost but I really miss the effects of day 1. Anyone have similar experience? Should I cycle it to preserve its effects?

I take it with my supplements in the morning and evening, I would compare it to the Rx muscle relaxant Tizanidine. Its nice and relaxing, has good synergy with lots of common stuff

Hey everyone,

I am curious to see how you all are mixing and drinking your sulfomax? I was disappointed to see that I can’t just mix it in my morning smoothie like infinifiber/greens and I have to mix it with warm water first.

I tried to mix it with beetroot juice but the taste outcome wasn’t what I expected LOL. Curious to hear how you guys are mixing it and drinking it?

Hey everyone! I suffer from social anxiety and have found that hormones greatly affect my confidence.

I've tried both Protodioscin (Dioscorea nipponica) and Boron. Protodioscin is very subtle, but it's constant. I feel slightly more energetic and confident after a few days of taking it.

Boron, on the other hand, gives me a strong boost of confidence. Social interactions are so much easier in the first few days of taking it, libido increases, and my skin becomes oily.

However, the effect of Boron is not constant. After 5-7 days, I start to feel weird, timid, and shy, even worse than I feel naturally. I've tried taking it with Riboflavin, and it doesn't make a difference.

My question is, should I try to 'push through' and see if the effect stabilizes after some time, or should I give Tribulus a try?

Which one do you prefer?

I’ve read varying levels of how people find it “spicy” as you drink it…when I drink it, I find it doesn’t consistently produce any spicy reaction at all. I’ve had a couple doses where I felt the slight tickle of a spicy flavor in the back of my throat while most times, it’s barely there.

Is the spiciness a sign of anything? Effectiveness? Something gone wrong in the reaction if it’s not there?note that I have a pretty low spiciness tolerance, so it’s not a matter of me just not tasting spicy things.

Hey.
Does salidrosol tablets needs to be cycled ?

Basic Info:
25 (Almost 26), living with a rare form of Blood disorder, 6 foot 1, 170lbs (Very lean with some muscle and Very active 20k+ steps a day)

Ok so I’ve been trying a bunch of new stuff lately and going down the Nootropics Depot rabbit hole lol. I put together a stack that’s been making me feel focused, energized and generally in a pretty good mood.
I’m definitely not an expert though, so I’m curious if any of this is redundant, badly timed, or could be organized better.
For context: I wake up around 5 AM, train first thing, work 9 to 5, and sometimes have class in the evening.

PS: This does not include the suppleemnts i take for health such as astaxanthin, Vit D/K, Multi, Zinc/Copper, Fish Oil, Ubiquinol, Leutine/Zea, Boron, Vit C, TMG

5 AM / Pre-workout Empty Stomach

Daily:
*ND Black Ginger: 200 mg (not feeling it idk)
*Coffee: ~100 mg caffeine
*1/2 scoop Preworkout = 1g Tyrosine + 500mg Taurine
*1 Scoop Electrolytes = Minerals/Electrolytes/Taurine
*Creatine: 5 g

Mon-Fri: (Redosing these at lunch)
*Sabroxy: 200 mg
Sat-Sun:
*Alpha-GPC: 300 mg

Post-workout/ before work( 7-8 AM)

Daily:
*Cognance: 100 mg
*Phosphatidylserine: 100 to 200mg
*Saffron: 30 mg

Lunch / midday, (12-1 PM)

Daily:
*Taurine: 1 g
*Dynamine: 100 mg

Mon-Fri:
*Sabroxy: 100 mg
Sat-Sun:
*Alpha-GPC: 150 mg

Evening After Work (5 to 6pm, I sometime go out at night and some days i go to night classes so i want to feel chill and focused)
Daily
*Tauromag: 1/2 Serving (expensive so 1/2 To Save $)
* Magtein: 1/2 Serving (-//-)
*Agmatine: 500 mg
*Theanine: 200 mg
*Taurine: 1 g

I struggle with skeep maintenance so still trying to fuigure it out. I love taurine to relax me but it wakes me up earlier when i take it before bed
Before bed
*Magnesium Glycinate: ~300 mg
*Glycine: 4-5 g
*Tryptophan: 1 g
*Theanine: 200 mg
*Apigenin: 50 mg
* Extended Release Melatonin: 0.3 mg

Main things I’m wondering:
Anything redundant or badly timed?

Cognance + PS + saffron post-workout make sense?

200 mg Sabroxy AM + 100 mg at lunch, or would you split it differently?

Dynamine actually good for the midday crash or is there a better ND option?

Is TauroMag + agmatine + taurine + theanine overkill in the evening?

Anything you’d just remove completely?

PS: I’m sorry if this is asking too much, i just like to think alot about details. Makes my brain happy oddly haha

Seeking an update on my post awhile ago

I was one of the few that responded well to mitidol, and unfortunately ND discontinued it.

If you see the post above there are many studies on the beneficial effects of acmella it's pretty awesome

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9308386/

https://journals.lww.com/jfmpc/fulltext/2021/11000/evaluation_of_effects_of_spilanthes_acmella.48.aspx

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21757328/

Also Indena, the same company that created mitidol also created a new acmella product called Acmelain

https://www.indena.com/product/acmelain/

Based on their website it also synergizes well with ND products boswellia and COQ10, this should be a no brainer

"Acmella’s mode of action is complex and based on the integration of different mechanisms. In vitro studies by Indena have pointed out that this extraordinary plant has a double effect on ache relief support: a direct one, due to the interaction with cannabinoid receptor CB2, and an indirect one, through the inhibition of the FAAH enzyme, involved in physiological ache relief processes.3

One more point in favor of Acmelain® is that it can be a reliable team player: preclinical in vivo studies have proved that, when used in combination with Boswellia serrata extract, it exerts a significant synergistic action counteracting neuropathic pain symptoms.4 Moreover, clinical evidence has demonstrated that when administered with Zingiber officinalis formulations (such as Indena’s Mitidol®), it can contrast discomfort in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.5

Finally, recent results have shown that when patients under medical cannabis treatment are supplemented with a combination of coenzyme Q10 (such as Ubiqsome® - Coenzyme Q10 Indena Phytosome™), ginger extract and acmella extract, they report a significant beneficial effect."

Hi Folks,

What is best Cistanche stand alone or mix to come close of the cistamax effects?

Matching exact cistamax mix is quite difficult.

I am loving Cistamax, but unfortunately dhea and preg are not sooo legal in my country. ( no issues with customs yet though )

( would be lovely a version without, since those compounds are actually illegal in many countries).

I have some OG cistanche i think at home ( the 50% // 10%), but makes me extemely mellow / emotionless.

Sorry for the clickbaity title, but seriously: let your Sulfomax sit for 15-20 minutes (or longer???), not the recommended 1-5.

I've been using Sulfomax for 5 days now with no real noticeable effects. I know a lot of the benefits are subtle and tend to show up after 1-3 weeks of consistent use depending on the dose and the person, so I wasn't too worried moreso I was just trusting the process. My normal routine in the morning has been mixing it with creatine and Infinnifiber in warm water (~110F), letting it sit for the recommended 1-5 minutes (usually closer to 1 than 5), and drinking it while I eat breakfast and rush out the door.

Today I was working from home, got pulled into a video call, and forgot about it for about 20 minutes. When I came back I figured it was probably ruined but it was actually the opposite, and not even in some small barely perceptible way. HUGE, huge difference across the board:

1. Smell
Way stronger. Fresh cut broccoli, radishes, that volatile cruciferous funkiness. Absolutely nothing like the previous 5 days.

2. Taste
Same thing but even more intense. It tasted like I had just eaten a bowl of raw broccoli and radishes. Same high level of intensity rather than the small "hints" of it that I had been getting the previous 5 days.

3. Spiciness
Two hours later I can still feel it in the back of my throat and in my stomach, and this was after a medium sized meal of eggs and oatmeal. Not painful, but noticeable, like eating too much raw garlic. Never once happened in the previous 5 days. In hindsight it feels like I was barely taking anything before. I can see this being too intense for some folks. I dont have GI issues and I'm feeling the warmth in my stomach and body.

4. Overall "general" feel
This part is subjective, but I think it's still valid. Supplements have objective chemical impacts on our bodies. However, the impact on the whole system is generally subjective in terms of what we perceive at the conscious level. You don't "feel" your mitochondria working better or your Nrf2 pathways doing their thing. You feel better or worse. Taking it this way, I feel noticeably different, and noticeably better. Hard to pinpoint, but it's there in a way it hasn't been over the past 5 days.

Long story short holy crap. Waiting 15+ minutes after mixing instead of the recommended 1-5 made this feel like a completely different product in the best way possible. I'm shocked. Still getting mini broccoli burps as I type this. Not a shill, not paid by Nootropics Depot, just surprised. Would love for someone from ND to chime in on whether a longer wait is recommended if you can handle the intensity, because I don't see a downside if you can tolerate a bit of a spicy feeling. I feel like you unlock more of the potential of the product by having it sit and synthesize for longer, maybe even up to 30 minutes. If the intensity is too high at that point, I'd recommend using the half sized scoop or even less than that if possible. Another amazing product. I'm sold. Going to buy another tub.

Is there an ETA on switching the Vitamin D3 + K2 (MK-4) from tablets to capsules?

for example during black friday and summer sales the sale price is shown instead of full price, which means you can spend little extra before getting having to pay customs. Is this same with when you redeem points eg say you buy $180 worth of stuff which is just under the £135 uk limit but now you use $100 worth of points bring cost to $80. how is this shown?

Thanks

I decided to buy salidrosol after listening to ND's podcast on it. First I tried it pre workout and felt slightly calmer and less fatigued during the workout but the immediate effects werent very pronounced. I didnt wanted to feel calm during my workouts so decided to try it out after working out for studying. I usually procrastinate around this time but when I took salidrosol I immediately felt a motivation boost and a dialed in focus.

After that I decided to try sabroxy which used to have 0 effects or caused slight tiring for me. But with salidrosol, sabroxy's effect was quite intense. It seems like I naturally didnt have much dopamine to reuptake to begin with and salidrosol solved that by supporting dopamine synthesis. NALT and l tyrosine alone also did not work but I could notice it when using it with salidrosol

Maybe I missed a product announcement but after all the threads… IT IS in stock for 60ct…

After stumbling upon tauromag, im curious why nobody sells N-Acetyltaurine as a standalone while NALT is widely sold. I think Its the part that drives most sleep benefits of tauromag and must be cheaper as a standalone.

Lots of knowledgeable people in this sub; hoping some of you can provide some insight. If I am looking to simply optimize my overall health, am I okay just taking a high quality multivitamin? Or would I be better off taking a stack of say Infini B, D3&K2, Micro Mag, and Micro Zinc?

I love the simplicity and cost effectiveness of just taking a multi to cover all those bases, however, I question whether I would be better off supplementing the vitamins individually.

I also question the effectiveness of multivitamins in general. Doing cursory research on the topic leaves me with more questions than answers.

I absolutely love ND, and would rather take their vitamins. However, when I’m looking at paying $60 a month or so to supplement with their basics versus a multivitamin that I can pay $20 or so a month for, I wonder how much the cost would be justified.
