I placed an order for Centrophenoxine almost 10 days ago. I went to check up on the order and their site says they are closed. What other places can I buy centrophenoxine from? Unique nutrition has very temping prices but decided not to buy from them.

Thanks.

Looks like their site is definitely down. Does anyone know what happened?

I don't know what happened but I placed my last order on the 4th of Dec and it was a fairly large order and I received all of it about 4 business days later... I'm surprised.

looks back up, is this the one that gave you a fraudulent charge?

No, I don't think it was Nubrain. My first order with them which I placed around the same time as cytopharma, did not go through because NUbrain claimed my credit card was missing one number. I replaced the order with a different card.

On the other hand, their selling practices are very misleading. I ordered 120 caps of what I thought was Merck's Lucidril (centrophenoxine), which is what the site is promoting. After more than 3 weeks and having to replace the order, what I received what unique's nutrition centrophenoxine which I was trying to avoid!

The irony is, I could have bought the UN product at any other site for a lot LESS than Nubrain sells it for. Nowhere on that site does it say they sell and ship the UN nutrition label. I am very dissapointed by the selling practices and customer service offered by the owner. I sent him an email but I am likely expecting a harsh reply.

I'm sorry for ranting here about this but after having nothing but positive experiences with Iherb, Luckyvitamin, bulknutrition, etc. this is rather surprising and dissapointing.

Maybe I made a mistake but that's what the order form looks like. Also, in the order page, they list that "NOw we have the MERck brand"

relentless improvement

I ordered centrophenoxine through Nubrain in October. My first trial was with the centro from anitaging-systems.com (IAS). But I'm not sure I trust all the generically-sourced supplements coming from China (and I wasn't experiencing any discernable effect from it after 4 months plus). After a lot of searching for anyone offering centro produced by a recognizable name, I found that Nubrain offered the original Merck product.

Certain aspects of the website looked somewhat amateurish, and that and some other clues make me think it's basically a one-man shop. I also found the pricing options for on the website confusing, though I eventually took from it that only the 40 x 250 mg tablets for $29 selection was the original Merck product. In the end, I sent them an email, and their response confirmed this.

I did in short order receive my order of Lucidril-branded centrophenoxine (actually, it's manufatured by Minapharm in Egypt, but I was already aware that they hold the license from Merck to make Lucidril). The tablets are blister-packed, which I feel is a big advantage if indeed there are any stability issues with centro (which I was unaware might be the case until I read on Relentless' site that centro should be refrigerated - still don't know if this is accurate, though).

The upshot is that while expensive, if I order any more centro, I'll certainly order the same branded-product again through Nubrain. That being said, since my experience with centro for a few months now has been less than remarkable, I think it's time to move on to the next thing on my "I wanna try" list.

I eventually got the unique nutrition brand of centro and I've been very happy with the results. This is amazing stuff. I've been without tyrosine and magnesium for over 2 weeks now and the centro. has done a great job at keeping my social anx. and cognitive problems at bay. This is definite good stuff.
