Hey folks:

      Anyone know where to get racetams from?  I rtealize now I'm probably going to have to go overseas the since FDA has turned into the supplement police.  I'm looking for items like piracetam, oxiracetam, and phenyl piracetam.  Are there any legit suppliers of these vital mind enhancers?

Yeah it seems vendors like Nootropics Depot have stopped selling racetams, I think they even got legal issues with their products.

 

Intellimeds in Europe sells some racetams but their Phenylpiracetam was hydrazide form which at least for me didn't do much if anything. But their Fasoracetam was effective when I tried it years ago.

A few years ago when rumors were flying that the fda was going to crack down on a lot of that stuff I bought a large amount of piracetam for a cheap price. They were getting rid of it. I still have most of it left. Best bet is to find a place, perhaps overseas, that sells it and is willing to label it as something else. That should get past customs but you never know. The worst thing customs does is confiscate the item, they never go after the person who ordered it because its so hard to prove. Now if it was heroin and you kept ordering, that might not hold true. 

 

From what I understand, customs is way overloaded at any given time. When a suspicious powder is seen, unless they have a tip or something they will just use a quick narcotics test that looks for common opiods and stimulants. If its not a hard drug they have little motive to find out exactly what it is. If it says powdered vit C or some other common compound, they are not going to send it to the lab to see if its the right thing. I did have a supplier in china one time who told customs what it was, told them on the phone even though it was labeled something else. Nothing happened to me

 

The trouble with china is they cheat all the time. If they can save a buck they will and quality is not assured. If something is not expensive per gram, they have less incentive to dilute it or substitute something else. Something that is $20 per gram, watch out

This is really helpful thank you!!!  But I wonder about the India manufacturers?

India has scammers too but it seems like much less than china. I have gotten a number of good things from india and never lost a shipment. Those companies all have reputations and you can check the feedback. You can find how long they have been in business and what people say about them. Just looking for the lowest price may get you in trouble, same as here
