Still satisfied with the quality of NSN powders over other retailers. It's really obvious with Piracetam, the difference between CH and NSN. I know it's hard to gauge, since each batch varies slightly in quality on the manufacturing side, but both batches of sunifiram from NSN that I've tried appear to be equal in potency and purity.
No sign of the Coluracetam on NSN, or the next batch of Unifiram---and their supply of Phenylpiracetam sold out quick. Alas, screwed again by my patience. In the mean time, I've been checking the site pretty much every day to check for news, updates, and changes in product listings, but nothing yet. The nefiracetam doesn't seem to be selling all that quickly this time though; I suppose the reports of testicular toxicity in dogs and rats has scared people off.
I took NSN's Piracetam daily for a month with great results---I was a coding machine---but earlier this week I started feeling burned out again, so I'm currently doing a wash-out, only taking my daily C60-EVOO.
NSN's noopept seems a bit too strong for me, though. I read of people taking massive doses compared to mine, but even at 10mg I tend to get anxiety, to the point where I feel like I have a hot coal in my gut and I can't stand being around people. I mentioned elsewhere on here that it also made me super crotchety last time I took it, the only other racetam that day was piracetam. Taken with 5mg sunifiram and 150mg oxiracetam, it seems to smooth out the rough edges of noopept, but I can only take the stack for about a week before I develop tolerance and I haven't found the proper wash-out period for it yet. I tried just noopept and suni together, without any real benefit, but I only waited a week inbetween. Once I've waited a full month, I'll try a smaller dose of noopept and see if that works out better.
I have mixed feelings about oxiracetam. I'm not sure it agrees with me but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. There's something almost dreamy and lazy about the effects of oxiracetam.
I have higher hopes for aniracetam. If the coluracetam and new batches of unifiram and phenylpiracetam aren't in by my next pay, I'll just order some aniracetam on its own.
Note: also ordered bulk adrafinil powder and EPIQ Aniracetam Complex from CH, which should be arriving monday (which is a real shame because I wanted to try out adrafinil on a weekend morning so I can trial the effects without risk of embarrassing myself at work---so now I'll have to wait another full week to try it). Sometimes the EPIQ complexes have too much of the extra stuff, so I figure it will be good to have pure aniracetam powder on hand if I need to balance out the EPIQ stack. That worked out really well with Piracetam. I took one EPIQ Piracetam Complex and one 800mg capsule of NSN Piracetam, 3x daily, for 32 days; that mix had just the right amount of choline supplementation to piracetam for me, and not too much UMP or DMAE either. So I should be able to figure out if the EPIQ aniracetam stack needs adjustment before my NSN aniracetam arrives.
So again, no complaints about CH at all---but New Star is still the best, in my experience.
