r/Nootropics Purity Testing

Myself and the other moderators have come up with a plan for 3rd party testing of various vendor's nootropics. Some of the vendors approached us looking for a way to advertise here, but have the money benefit the community directly. So we came up with a plan where they could sponsor 3rd party purity testing through us. They will donate funds to an account we have set up that will be used to test nootropics from the community. For doing so, they will be recognized in the FAQ with being an /r/Nootropics supporter.
We have been complacent for too long, ingestigating substances with only manufacturer COAs. Sometimes we don't even have reliable COAs at all. Along with my upcoming objective nootropic studies, this step should bring some scientific data that we have been lacking. Yes the study is still going forward. Samples from the HSW batches that will be used in the study are being tested as we speak at the lab. Once the results are back, we can move forward with the study.
Sophie from Modup has also donated funds to test two batches of nootropics. She has been very enthusiastic about helping the community out, and we thank her for being the first to donate money to the testing fun…

Personally I'd love to see Smartpowders's Bacopa tested for heavy metals

That can be an option down the line. I know that has always been a fear with bacopa.
