(Note: i'm only talking about legal forms of galantamine-- i'm almost positive at least-- so i hope this is okay to discuss, Dr. Bob.)
Actually, i'm starting to wonder if there IS even any prescription form of galantamine available. i used to think it was sold as a prescription, but now i've realized that all i've ever seen it advertised as is for the plant extract (i guess it's an alkaloid found in the "snowdrops" plant, or Leucojum aestivum)-- sort of like how 5-HTP is extracted from griffonia seeds (i don't think there's any processing of them-- right?). Anyway....i'm quite interested in getting and trying some galantamine, so i was wondering if any of you could help me with purchasing it from the best source. Also, if any of you have tried it at all i would be pleased to hear about your experiences with it.
If you have found, or have reason to believe, that any of the following sites (or another that you may know of that is not listed) selling galantamine are reputable and would most likely sell high-quality galantamine, could you please let me know? ..: smart-drugs.net, nivalin.com (selling a phytopreperation called Nivalin that contains galantamine as the active ingredient and made by Sopharma), www.smi2le.biz/Products.shtml (selling bulk galantamine [powder i believe?]), "Beyond a Century: Online Catalog and Store" at www2.acadia.net/cgi-bin/BAC/web_store.cgi (also selling bulk galantamine in powder form), and iherb.com (which sells a number of galantamine products made by different brands).
i don't expect any responses to this post, but i would be very glad and thankful if i did.

I can't answer for all of these but the ones I know of that are reputable:xxx (associated with xxx abroad) is very reputable. I've ordered a couple of things from them including Picamilon.
iHerb.com - I always order from them and so do a ton of people here at PB.
Beyond A Century - Larry recently recommended them to someone so I would guess that they're very reputable. They have good prices on some bulk stuff but I found their Co-Q10 to be very expensive as compared to iHerb so I'd compare the prices carefully.
SMI2LE.biz - I've heard a bit about them on these boards but haven't ordered from them personally yet. Some really interesting products and good prices though. My guess is that they're legit but maybe someone else who has ordered from them could add more.
I don't know anything about the others you mentioned.If/when you do try the galantamine, please report back. I'd be very interested in hearing about your results.
Good luck,
Kara

Sorry, but please don't use this site to exchange information that could be used to import into the US prescription medication without a prescription:

Dr. Bob,
These are all legal sites in the U.S. It is my understanding that it's legal to purchase galantamine here as it is sold by numerous U.S. supplements sites that only sell legal substances. Please check out the sites I've listed. You'll see what I mean.Kara

Oh, I think I see, you're only objecting to the mention of the "associated with xxxxx" clause even though the product is to be purchased from the legal associate in the states.
OK, sorry.
Kara
