Ordering from Chem Companies


Kind of a weird question... does anybody know how or where to order NGF 7S? I'm also confused on the legality of this. If it is not a controlled substance, why don't companies want to sell it to individuals? I'm in the US btw. Thanks.

They probably suspect you want to use it as a dietary supplement and have policies in place to try to limit that sort of thing. While they may or may not think it is morally wrong to sell it to you (after all, you want some, and if you harm yourself with it, that's your informed decision, and you're responsible, right?), they don't want the liability that might come of selling random substances to an individual who, for example, developed cancer or had an allergic reaction. You can probably obtain it more easily from jurisdictions outside your own. Also, if you are considering using it as a dietary supplement, bear in mind that it was not manufactured for that purpose, so it probably doesn't meet the standards that you would want it to meet and can contain harmful impurities or preservatives.

It's simple, if you are using it for research on animals, you would have to have paperwork showing you are doing the research according to US animal testing rules. If you are planning to use it on people, then you would need to show that you are following FDA rules. Few companies will sell a product to someone who likely is not following these rules, as it creates an enormous liability. Given that even large pharma companies can injure people in trials with what appears to be a safe drug (see Bial FAAH inhibitor for example), no company wants to be in the newspaper when someone misuses their product. So in the US, where anyone can sue anyone, it is not always about legality, it is about intent, liability, newsworthiness, and caution. If you have a specific research plan, you could likely find someone to provide it.

Since you don't show any idea of what the product is used for, it is hard to know if you are doing legitimate research or not. Since this compound is not likely orally active, it is not practical as a "nutritional supplement" anyway, as proteins degrade in the stomach.

No problem. Not restricted? Not dope?

Design a research project.

Send out an inquiry letter.

Attempt to buy "a lot". Really "a lot". But perhaps, a small sample first.

Or, attempt to find another researcher, using the same product. Co-buy. Pool your orders.

Nothing like the prospect of big profits, to motivate a seller.

Try to buy a thimble full, and you are vermin. Try to buy a cargo container full.........., and the response may be: "Are you free for lunch?"
