I buy it first.

Nootroholic is an independent review site for research peptides, nootropics and botanicals. Every vendor review starts with a placed order, then the paperwork is checked against what arrives. I’m Adrian XH, founder and editor.

The sender

One named person is accountable.

I started Nootroholic in 2017 because a lot of articles online were recommending low quality products. I have been researching and writing about peptides, nootropics and biohacking since 2013.

The question I care about is simple and unglamorous: where does this product come from, does the vendor publish real third-party COAs, and can the supplier be verified? Everything on this site is built to answer that for you.

I’m not a clinician, and nothing here is medical advice. I read research and test vendors, and I link the evidence so you can judge it yourself.

What this is, plainly: an online course completion, verified by Coursera. It is not a degree, not formal enrollment at Yale, and carries no academic credit. It shows I took the time to learn how to read medical research critically, which is the skill every review here leans on.
