Had really bad experience with Smart Powders. Ordered 2
oxiracetam items and one of ALCAR, alpha gpc and cdp choline.
Chose USPS High Priority delivery for extra 40$ in hopes to get items sooner. They shipped it the same day, but took about 2 weeks for package to arrive.
This is customs issue, not smartpowders, i just want to note that 40$ is not worth the effort if you live in Europe.
Now to the interesting part.
When i received the package, 1 oxiracetam item was missing. I got just 1 oxiracetam and one of ALCAR, alpha gpc and cdp choline. I paid for 2 oxiracetam items and 2 of them were marked as "shipped" on smartpowders site.
I mailed them immediately, asking about solution to this problem, proposed to add this oxiracetam to my next order or to refund it to my paypal.
2 weeks have passed by now and i got no reply.
Even though i lost only 30$ for missing oxiracetam, I have high doubts in ordering anything from them again.
About quality.
ALCAR and choline supplements seem to work.
Not exactly sure about quality of oxiracetam, i didn't find much difference in effects from ones of piracetam (while effects definetely must be different).
Also, i stopped taking piracetam 2 weeks ago, so maybe effects i have now are left after it and not induced by oxiracetam.
I tried taking 2 capsules (1.5g) of oxiracetam as single dose and felt only tiny change in concentration, could be placebo.
I took 750mg of oxiracetam at the evening and had no sleep problems, no difference at all.
Offtopic:
1) Can somebody suggest some simple test that can determine whether something is or is not oxiracetam?
2) Can you recommend good oxiracetam supplier that supports paypal or bitcoins and ships to EU?
