Aniracetam got through fine. (Inspected)
I tried to order some Aniracetam powder from the US the other day. I was told via email that they could not send it to Australia! Now has the law changed recently or was this supplier an exception?
The other thought I was pondering was where does Aniracetam in the US originate from? I know that Aniracetam can be purchased in large quantities from China at a fraction of the cost/unit of what the US suppliers have it for. My only concern is the quality of the product that may come from China. (yes based on stories of toxic chemicals in Baby milk, who knows what the quality standards would be for a chemical with such limited popularity)
How ever, it would annoy me greatly if (as I suspect is likely) the US suppliers were simply importing bulk amounts of Aniracetam from Chinese chemical companies and the repackaging it and selling it with a massive mark up!
I have pretty much given up on the hope of obtaining racetams.
I've just heard unofficially that the FDA has banned piracetam (declared it a drug) so it may soon become very hard to source if you're getting it from the states. Probably has something to do with one of the large pharma companies wanting it listed as a prescription substance to make more money out of it.... I don't have a concrete reference yet though sorry.
Is not FDA the american equivalent of our TGA?
