Where to buy nootropics
All nootropics (piracetam, hydergine, N-acetyl-l carnitine (ALCAR), etc) can be bought online for cheaper than your local store or pharmacy. Some require a prescription but can be bought from overseas companies. The downside is, some places are not reliable or have made off with people's money and disappeared. It's very important to do your homework before ordering, particularly from overseas!
The following sites provide a directory of trusted suppliers and reviews of their products:
-
Nootropic Supplier Discussion at ImmInst.org
A good forum for checking out a supplier before buying. -
Cognitive Enhancers/smart Drugs/nootropics Listing 2006, USA & International Sources at BrainMeta.com
A relatively small list of US and overseas suppliers. See other subforums for reviews. -
Piracetam Sources & Cost listing at the Riverbend Down Syndrome Parent Support Group
A short list of suppliers, may be outdated, and doesn't necessarily have the best prices. - FAQ from overseaspharmacy.com with some basic information. They also have a forum that might be helpful.
Some common non-prescription nootropics like vinpocetine, bacopa, ALCAR, phosphatidylserine and ginkgo biloba are cheapest at online nutritional supplement stores rather than specialist nootropic vendors. See where to buy supplements for more details.
