What do you know about Customs & Legalities of these kinds of things?

G'day Steve!

Welcome :)

Recommend me something on your site that can increase cognition. International shipping?  What do you know about Customs & Legalities of these kinds of things?

Neat. Wait... It's not just you! http://www.cognitivenutrition.com looks down from here.

The site was up a few minutes ago.


Too many visitors?

It depends largely on the specifics of your country.

For me in Germany for example I could not order the Piracetam and Aniracetam they offer, due to them having RX status here. Importing that would bring me into all kinds of trouble with customs.

Similarily the Idebenone has quite limited market authorization at this time and is really still in investigational status. Importing that would bring me into even more trouble with customs.

Others like the Pyritinol I can order without any problem as it has OTC status. If I were in Austria, I couldn't as it has RX status there. The Picamilon I couldn't have ordered last year, but can now because it got a fresh market authorization as a OTC drug.

As you can see it's quite complex and you should check the local legal status of the product you want to order beforehand, because customs can get quite irate.

Did anyone use such things? Are they good? What do they actually do to you? Are they safe? Do they have dangerous side-affects? This stuff on the site looks very dangerous to me.

Perhaps you should checkout the Smart Drug Smarts podcast (http://smartdrugsmarts.com/) although it looks like their host has been overloaded.

And if you want to get started with a relatively harmless but extremely effective and helpful breakfast protocol then I would recommend this:

4Tbs of grass-fed butter (Kerrygold unsalted)
35ml of MCT Oil (Dr. Friedlander's is great)
spoonful of coconut manna
some raw honey (Bees Bros (http://www.beesbros.com/) is awesome!)

a small pinch of pure vanilla extract (for anti-inflammation and taste)
some cinnamon (merely for taste)
some dark chocolate (merely for taste)

Boil some water, mix the ingredients and blend. Should make a nice frothy white foam on top. Excellent for breakfast. 600+ calories of tasty fatty goodness! Brain food, eliminates hunger with plenty of fuel but still keeps your body in ketosis.

Steve, great to have you supporting bitcoins. Welcome.

Please inform me of such things, if they really are good I may be interested in the future in buying different things if they are really good and make you healthy and such.

Extensive research has shown that oral creatine supplementation at a rate of 5 to 20 grams per day appears to be very safe and largely devoid of adverse side-effects,[22] while at the same time effectively improving the physiological response to resistance exercise, increasing the maximal force production of muscles in both men and women.[23][24]


Improved cognitive ability

A placebo-controlled double-blind experiment found that a group of subjects composed of vegetarians and vegans who took 5 grams of creatine per day for six weeks showed a significant improvement on two separate tests of fluid intelligence, Raven's Progressive Matrices, and the backward digit span test from the WAIS. The treatment group was able to repeat longer sequences of numbers from memory and had higher overall IQ scores than the control group. The researchers concluded that "supplementation with creatine significantly increased intelligence compared with placebo."[33] A subsequent study found that creatine supplements improved cognitive ability in the elderly.[34] A study on young adults (0.03 g/kg/day for six weeks, e.g., 2 g/day for a 70-kilogram (150 lb) individual) failed to find any improvements.[35]

What aspect of Cognition are you looking to effect? Memory, Focus, Processing, etc? Everyone's neurochemistry is different but usually we can find an area to enhance when we find the right target.

Most nootropics are either regulated as either dietary supplements, otc drugs, research chemicals, or prescription drugs. It really varies on the country but we do not sell to any country where it is controlled (Japan and China for certain ones).

I sent you a private message.
I just took a closer watch in your site and it actually looks really awesome and great.
I am extremely interested in buying something from you.
Waiting for your private message reply.
Thank you very much!
You have my utmost respect!

I would be carefully with all such substances.

Make a good research before you order such a thing and look for side effects (most of them don't have any effect anyway).

Neither you, nor your body does really need any of them.

Also I'm a vegetarian and creatine is mostly in meat and fish as another reason I supplement it.

But I didn't find it in that shop anyway.

Processing, and memory is optional.  I'm in Australia & any products that act as SSRIs or SNRIs won't do much for me.

I already take
Ginkgo
Brahmi
Mega B
Swisse Multi
Fish oil
Glucosamine

What do you proscribe Doc? :D

Wouldn't that be largely dependent on how they label it's content? If it is labelled as nutritional supplement instead of medical drug for example.

That kinda sorta hilariously absurd producer self-appointed distinction only exists in the US (for historical reasons related to the powerlessness of the FDA which even the restructuring/empowering after the Thalidomide scandal could not reasonably solve). The US has a peculiar arrangement where you can sell just about anything you want as a supplement and the FDA has to prove it's harmful first before it can be taken off the market. In all other civilized countries it is the other way around. Here the onus is on the producer to first display the safety of his product before he can sell it.

The US has a self regulated supplement industry in certain regards (the FDA currently regulates the quality and amount claimed on the label) which enables Americans access to many compounds that have a documented history of safety, however because most of them can not be patented there is little incentive to get them FDA approved as drugs. Many supplements are approved in other countries as drugs however with varying amount of research regarding it's safety. Some companies do sell some questionable products in terms of safety but ultimately it's up to the consumer to decide what they want and their risk.

Personally I don't want to live in a country where my options for health are limited or determined by the FDA (massive and undeniable history of corruption and abuse) rather by me and/or my doctor.

Yep, both ways have their drawbacks. With our way of doing it sometimes it takes waaaay too much time to get a product approved especially if there is no massive lawyer army clamoring for it. Hell, it took 10 years for Stevia rebaudiana to get approved for use as a condiment. Now that's completely and utterly absurd.

On the other hand the FDA is more concerned with governing and rewarding itself, instead of actively going out and looking out for US citizens. One only needs to look at the whole Methylhexanamine/DMAA scandal last year, where it had been clear way before the deaths happened that it's not a very bright idea to add vast amounts of pseudo-amphetamins to sports stimulants. The FDA did nothing (and legally could do nothing) until after the fact.

Methylhexanamine/DMAA is an excellent point of a overall bad compound on the market. But it's the demand from users that drives it's sales and usage. Not sure if banning it or even making illegal will make any impact on diehard users (people still use ephedrine but now they just buy it from Canada or behind the pharmacy in the US) but I do agree it will help save some lives especially those who have no idea what they are putting in their bodies.

Why do you no longer accept Bitcoins as payment?

yay

Would like to see Tianeptine and Adrafinil.

Edit:
Just made an order and customer service is on top of it,,, even at 12am  :)

Just curious, do you carry Aniracetam? And what are your prices? That stuff is hard to find and when I do find it, it's overpriced =\

That is a pretty good price.  You don't do bulk powder for it do you? And still no US shipping?

How much BTC for 50g? Also, can you sell noopept in bulk powder too?

(I don't like dealing with capsules =\ There's just something about downing a potent combination of supplements and screaming "RAAAAWWWWRR" after choking down the horrible tasting stuff =P)

Also, with this noopept stuff, is that wiki suggesting that its oral bio availability is less than regular piracetam?  I mean, the bio availability of anything orally administered is going to be less.

Received my package today - it arrived on time, 2-3 days. ;D surprised by the extras that were thrown in, ones I've been wanting to try (thanks!). Again; fabulous support by email.

I may be re-weighing the 800mg/Aniracetam since my previous experiences suggest 500mg is almost too much. My preferred dosage is usually @ a 200-300mg, though that was with a different vendor, so I'll give it a few goes at 800 just in case :) ---- do note I'm def on the lower end. 800 is average and some people don't notice anything until 1000-1600 and even in rare cases 2000+mg/dose (crazy, imo)

I'll post my opinion of these nootropics once I have a good feel for each one. May take a few weeks.
