Others have noted some of the main issues with your website, including high markups, lack of a clear differentiator, and misleading advertisement. An additional reason concerns the manner in which nootropics.com was acquired. My understanding is that nootropics.com belongs to David Pearce, a former friend of the people involved in this project, and that Pearce never signed a contract, doesn’t authorize the use of his domain for a commercial purpose, hasn’t been paid any money for the domain, and transferred the domain to you only because he was misled and emotionally pressured. This story has been independently confirmed to me by three people all of whom I highly trust and who are partial to neither side. Since the allegations are serious and relevant, I thought I should mention them here.
