Cerebral Health Pyritinol Test Results (WARNING)

Many of you may remember the issue that came up with Cerebral Health/Bioscience Nutraceuticals a few months ago, where their choline bitartrate was numbing people's mouths. After sending those samples in to the lab, the tests came back negative for choline bitartrate. We suspected it was choline salacylate, but decided further testing to ascertain the exact compound would not be worth the cost. Unfortunately that was not the last issue to come from Cerebral Health.
A few weeks ago, another Redditor placed an order pyritinol from CH, along with some alpha GPC and oxiracetam. When the order arrived, both the alpha GPC and oxiracetam seemed alright. However, the pyritinol seemed off. Before thinking about it, he took his normal 400mg dose of pyritinol and went out for a mountain bike ride. Within 15-20 minutes he was getting a weird euphoria and detachment. After another couple minutes, his memory gets very fuzzy.
Eventually his sister found him in the garage in a manic/psychotic state. He was biting his lips very hard, shaking, and holding his fists tight. Eventually he went into seizures when the paramedics came. He was taken to the hospital and seized again while waiting for th…

It tasted nothing like pyritinol, but more like burnt plastic.
That sounds like a very large number of substances I have taken. The one that comes to mind immediately is 1,3-dimethylamylamine or DMAA. Given that it is legal and very cheap to get a hold of I would guess it is that over the now schedule 1 and hard to come by MDPV, and DMAA would show with the symptoms given here.
Also MDPV have a very chemical taste to it but I would not describe it as burnt plastic, but more so just bitter. One other way to smell it(or to deeply smell 5-15 mgs of it if you know what I mean) as it has a very distinct minty smell.
The research chemical market has for the most part gone dormant, and it would be very strange to see someone replacing a common somewhat cheap substance with a now rare and expensive one.

The Redditor in question has used DMAA many times. It's one of his favorites. He knows the physical properties of DMAA, and this was not it. Plus, DMAA wold not cause the effects that were seen.
