Cosmic Nootropic Review | A New Era Of Soviet-Inspired Brain Boosters (2024)

The company was founded in Moscow in 2015. They’ve partnered with all important pharma distributors in Russia, and out from other ex-Soviet countries, where the production of nootropics is widely known for its quality.

The fact they are a non-US supplier with a warehouse in the United States also makes their story interesting. By doing business with synthetic supplements in the US they have to cover their tracks and trade very carefully there. This requires great skill, dedication, and love to offer nootropic products of this level. More of how they manage that later.

In 2022, they moved their business to Kazakhstan for well-known political reasons, and continue to sell to customers worldwide. They have a reputation as good guys and professionals, at the service in the nootropics community.

As we said, this company distributes products from the best Russian manufacturers of smart drugs. Sometimes out of their native country too.

Cosmic Nootropic CEO, Lev, told us about how they’ve started working with racetams and what is popular in Russia today.

In Russia we only have Piracetam and Phenylpiracetam. So, in the beginning of Cosmic we had to order Aniracetam from Greece, Oxiracetam from China and Pramiracetam from Ukraine because we wanted to have a fun collection of pharmaceutical racetams. Now we only have Pramiracetam from Ukraine. Russia is much more interesting when it comes to peptides because it has a number of original peptide pharmaceuticals.

– Lev

The presence of a Russian supplier in the US speaks to their legitimacy, as well as their authenticity in the industry. The demand for such products is high, and Cosmic Nootropic fulfills consumers’ needs.

How did they manage to market synthetics in the US? Let’s analyze the two markets.

The Russian and American markets for nootropic products are very different.

• There are pharmaceuticals

• There are supplements

• There are research substances

Pharmaceutical industry

This industry has really strict regulations i.e. FDA approval procedures for the drugs are one of the strictest in the world, and it is undeniably very challenging to overcome this barrier for the company. This with the high costs of undergoing the approval procedures leads to many psychoactive chemical compounds available as drugs in other countries not being available in the US as drugs.

Supplements industry

This industry on the other hand is much more complicated. According to the FDA, a supplement has to meet the following criteria:

• Vitamin and mineral products
• “Botanical” or herbal products—These come in many forms and may include plant materials, algae, macroscopic fungi, or a combination of these materials.
• Amino acid products—Amino acids are known as the building blocks of proteins and play a role in metabolism.
• Enzyme supplements—Enzymes are complex proteins that speed up biochemical reactions.

Researched substances

Virtually no nootropic compound meets these requirements, so what nootropic vendors sell should be marketed as research compounds, not for human consumption and some companies do this. This is de jure. De facto vendors can sell these products as supplements for as long as they do not give any medical claims i.e. not step on what is the realm of pharmaceuticals, and they also must mention that these products have not been approved by the FDA. At the same time, there is very little to no control over the manufacturing of such substances.

For this reason, it is necessary when ordering from American vendors to scrutiny the COA of an independent laboratory that can certify that it is indeed the product. You don’t ask for the COA when you go to the pharmacy because you rightfully trust FDA and the pharmaceutical regulation that what you get there will be pure and produced to all the necessary standards.

How Russian nootropics is made?

In Russia, it is much different – says Lev, CEO of the Cosmicnootropic crew.

The regulation for pharmaceuticals is very different and significantly less is needed to register a new product as a drug. A company should still of course run clinical trials and finish all the three stages of clinical trials but doing so is undeniably easier in Russia. So, an approved Russian drug is of course less researched than an American drug approved by the FDA. Also, I believe that a typical pharmaceutical plant in the US likely has more stringent quality procedures than the one in Russia, where international GMP requirements were introduced just over the last couple of years. On the other hand, the production of supplements in Russia is controlled by the government norms. It is necessary to obtain registration and meet all the necessary approvals prior to being able to send a supplement to a pharmacy chain. (In Russia drugs and supplements are sold only in pharmacies, not in drugstores or supermarkets; and the regulation of pharmacies is very strict – I used to own and run a pharmacy myself). So, on our website we ONLY have original pharmaceutical products that were obtained through pharmaceutical distributors or pharmacy chains. We do not have any product that was not produced according to the necessary government norms. We can request from our partners a certificate for the particular batch of particular product but that will be certain effortgiven that we will also have to translate all the information from Russian into English on the certificates. We did so a couple of times and it was not viable and frankly unnecessary. So, if there is a person who is needs to demonstrate the government officials in his country for instance that what he receives is a registered official product and not some suspicious substance and there is a batch of such products we can do that. In other cases we kindly believe to trust us and the reputation we gained over 5 years. So that it is clear: we are constantly being bombarded with offers from Chinese producers who suggest that we buy all the different nootropics, sarms, peptides from them but we never agreed to this because in that case we would have to compromise our quality and offer some product that we are not totally sure about.

– Lev

Let’s summarize why Russian products can be freely bought in the US without any information.

We ship only non-scheduled pharmaceutical products. They are not available domestically, so we are providing people with what they could not have purchased otherwise, even if the doctor wanted to prescribe it. Apart from that, all these products have passed quality tests because a product that is sold in a pharmacy must be approved for use and manufactured according to rather strict standards, which is totally opposite to what you can find in the US. That being said, over the last 5 years we did not have any real cases when our customers in the US were not allowed to receive their products.

– Lev

They don’t sell any scheduled substances, only products that are legal to ship from Russia.

Cosmic Nootropic and FDA

The company has the following part in their Terms and Conditions copied from the FDA website:

• If you are a US citizen, by buying from CosmicNootropic.com you agree that your purchase here meets the conditions described by the FDA on the individual import of drugs:

• The drug is to be used for a serious condition for which effective treatment is not available in the United States;

• There is no commercialization or promotion of the drug to U.S. residents;

• The drug is considered not to represent an unreasonable risk;

• The individual importing the drug verifies in writing that it is for his or her use, and provides contact information for the doctor providing treatment or shows that the product is for the continuation of treatment begun in a foreign country; and

• Generally, not more than a 3-month supply of the drug is imported.

With that in mind, let’s start by checking the quality of their website, business model, and presence online.

Official Website

This Russian nootropics store has a tidy website. In addition to all their products being organized by categories, there is also an Official Drug Sheets section in which all products are listed in alphabetical order. It is a very practical and smart choice for easier customer navigation.

Their website offers a wealth of valuable information on what nootropics are used for, what are the side effects, dosage, interactions, and more. Find more about it in the research section of their website.

You will also find a detailed Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section in the main menu where information on their products, payment, delivery, terms, and conditions, legal information, and the company philosophy.

The menu below also lists social media accounts and a subscription to their newsletter.

Cosmic Nootropic testimonials

There are many positive testimonials on the Internet about their products. People usually praise their fantastic customer support as well. I also found a few concerns about lost shipments, but they always addressed this carefully and in open dialogue.

You can find testimonials from these resources.

• Facebook review page
• Section Feedback on the website
• Reddit
• Trustpilot page

Cosmic Nootropic Reddit

You can simply google “cosmic nootropics reviews” and you will find countless people from the/r/nootropics subredditwhere people are reporting positive experiences with them.

The order I made took exactly 7 days to arrive to me in the US. The customs declaration was filled out honestly. On the customs sheet attached to the package, it actually listed every item that was contained in the order, and the total cost of the order. It also said in the description part “Memory Supplements”. This is something I’d like to point out to anyone who may want their order to be shipped discretely. It will list the items by their actual names (i.e Phenibut, Afobazole, Tehoten, Mebicar, Picamilon, Mildronate, as my order was), and will be in plain view on the outside. There’s nothing sketchy or illegal about any of it in any way, but if someone is concerned about this being displayed in the open, I would contact them prior to your order. I personally see it as a strong indicator that they are starting a legitimate business and intend to keep it that way. I actually emailed them right after I made my order inquiring on future products like Mildronate, Ipidacarine, and Metaprot. They got back to me quickly and said they had Mildronate and were putting it on the site later that week. They offered to throw some in free of charge, which they did! (40-count Pack)

payment services

Unfortunately, the fact that we only sell pharmaceutical products makes it impossible for us to find a card processing partner that would let us accept payments from US customers. The fact that we are located in Russia makes it even less possible. For this reason, the only payment options left for use are cryptocurrencies and international wires or international money transfer services.

– Support

In addition to Bitcoin (BTC), which you buy with a 10% discount, the company offers a money transfer service using Transferwise or Azimo.

You can also pay for your order with PaySend which uses Mastercard MoneySend and Visa Money Transfer services to send the payment.Their payment page shows you exactly how to pay using these methods.

Refund policy

If you do not receive the package for some reason, you’ll get refunded for the full amount of the order within 5-7 working days. An alternative solution is to send you the original order for free. As we said, if you live in a “risky” country with strict customs and import laws, you can contact them directly or check the website to see what options you have concerning this.

Racetams are part of the nootropics definition and culture. The first man-made cognitive substance invented was Piracetam, also a trademark of the Russian school of smart drugs. While we have tested the US vendors Piracetam, Phenylpiracetam, Noopept, Aniracetam, and Pramiracetam, now we have compared them to the Cosmic Nootropic quality. Cosmic Nootropic also distributes a branded version of this pioneer nootropic, and you can read all about it in our Nootropil review.

Racetams market

Today, it is difficult to buy allnine commercially used Racetams. Piracetam is gone in many countries (including the US) because of the strict regulations. It can still be difficult to find it in top supplement stores. But, Cosmic Nootropic Piracetam can still be obtainable. Phenylpiracetam is also harder to get, but is still available from several vendors in the U.S. and abroad. Noopept still has an unblemished reputation as an over-the-counter. Noopept Cosmic Nootropic has to offer is one of the best you can buy.

Testing Racetams

All the products arrived via standard mail service in 3-4 weeks, which is acceptable. They were marked as ‘memory supplements’ on a package. I have nothing against it, but you can ask for their support for a more discreet title.

The testing took a while, two months or so. I shared them with my team members and after periodical briefings, we have concluded that the quality is first-rate.

The products were all fast-acting, approximately 20 minutes for Noopept to kick in, and Phenyl and Piracetam from 30-60 minutes reached the peak. We were impressed with the stacking of Phenylpiracetam and Noopept to start a working day with.

They were all great as a means of increasing mental energy, focus, and verbal flow and reducing stress at work.

• Noopept is a nootropic with neuroprotective quality that protects against oxidative damage and is a modulator of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to boost memory.

• Piracetam is the first invented nootropic that boosts memory by maintaining high levels of acetylcholine and promotes cognitive enhancement.

• Phenylpiracetam is one of the most effective nootropics, derived from Piracetam, which increases acetylcholine activity and promotes cognitive improvement.

How has this list changed? Read back through our update history:

9/11/23: Cosmic Nootropic ship only from Russia and Kazakhstan: The delivery takes 3–8 weeks and costs 40 USD. Shipping from the US is not available. It appears that CosmicNootropic is facing issues with ShipBob, their logistics partner in the US. ShipBob suddenly suspended their orders without providing a clear explanation, causing frustration and disruptions to both CosmicNootropic and its customers. The situation has sparked discussions and concerns within the nootropics’ community, with many members expressing support for CosmicNootropic. They are actively seeking a new logistics provider to resume its operations, and it seems they have been in contact with ShipBob to release inventory for pending orders. The abrupt termination of the agreement with ShipBob has raised questions about contract violations and unprofessional behavior.

Despite the changes this has brought to their operations, including the need to explore alternative methods of transporting nootropic batches to their US warehouse to ensure continuity, they are currently offering the best deals.
