I’m sure if you’re reading this, you have heard of Nootropics Depot as they are probably the biggest Vendor of Nootropics out of the entire industry.
So now you’re here reading my Nootropics Depot review and wondering If I recommend them or if you should actually shop with them.
Well the answer is most certainly yes but let me explain why with this unbiased review of Nootropics Depot as a vendor in general and what they have to offer for you.
Brief History Of Nootropics Depot
Nootropics Depot has been around for some time as I remember I first ordered from them somewhere around 2015 or 2016 back when the ways to pay were super limited and before they closed down shop for a bit.
Things have changed since then as Nootropics Depot has been taken over by a new management team and I’ve seen nothing but progress since the change took place.
Better products, more products, a better more interactive website and more.
In fact, Nootropics Depot has one of the biggest if not the biggest selection of Nootropics on the market.
Really anything you could want in terms of Nootropics, you can find there now.
The company is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona and all orders ship from there so it is a good spot to get the orders to everyone faster than say being placed in one corner of the country.
Also the company is open Monday through Saturday unlike most companies only staying open until Friday.
Don’t worry you can still place orders whenever you want.
Testing For Purity
Nootropics Depot does both 3rd party testing and in house testing for things like purity and to make sure there are no unwanted materials in their products.
Some of the equipment they use for in house testing includes but is not limited to HPLC(High performance liquid chromatography) which identifies every component in a compound and FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) for testing the emission or absorption of a compound.
This testing is done by their fully trained analytical chemist.
This just goes to show how much they take pride in making sure you are always getting exactly what they say you are in terms of actual product and it’s purity.
Customer support
Nootropics Depot customer support is pretty good in my opinion as they respond to questions in a timely manner on all business days within 24 hours at the most but most of the time it is much sooner.
They are thorough on your questions and provide super accurate information.
Shipping and returns
The vast majority of orders placed before 4pm AZ MST will ship out on the same day, usually within a few hours on business days.
If you place an order after 4pm AZ MST say on a Saturday or Sunday, you can expect that order to ship out on Monday.
Nootropics Depot offers free domestic shipping (U.S.) on any order over $50 and free international shipping on any order over $200.
When it comes to returns and refunds, Nootropics Depot does not accept returns or offer refunds on used or opened products.
They do however offer refunds on unopened products within 30 days of the delivery date as long as you pay for the return shipping.
This isn’t ideal as some other generous return and refund polices from other vendors but that’s what they are, generous.
Also keep in mind that if you order Nootropics from them in powder form they will not provide scoops with the order as they can be inaccurate so you will need to get a high quality milligram scale.
Product Line and Pricing
With such an array of products I won’t be able to list them all but here is a taste of what you can expect from Nootropics Depot and the average price per capsule.
Alpha-GPC $0.25 per capsule
Bacopa Monnieri Extract $0.17 per capsule
Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract $0.50 per capsule
Caffeine+L-Theanine $0.23 per capsule
Rhodiola Rosea $0.33 per capsule
ALCAR $0.22 per capsule
Gotu Kola Extract $0.27 per tablet
Lemon Balm Extract $0.40 per capsule
As you can see the pricing for these compounds is pretty fair compared to the average in the industry but the prices get even cheaper when you buy in bulk.
