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…

So, I don't know much about analytical methods like this but I noted that your Colmeric analysis confirmed an absence of pyritinol but did not confirm a presence of anything; is it feasible to try and confirm a presence of MDPV in the acquired sample?
If somebody reads your post quickly, they could accidentally come to the conclusions that you are claiming MDPV is in their products rather than just causing "MDPV like symptoms".
But to be honest, if you independently confirmed MDPV in their samples then you could hunt that company out of existence and you'd probably have a lot of support as well. It would be great if they were caught in the act and forced out of business (on the assumption that MDPV is in the sample) rather than just having a small forum avoid their products henceforth.

Colmeric did not want to get involved in the actual determination of the specific substance, due to legal issues. However, Dancesafe.org will let you send samples in for testing, and tell you the exact substance and purity level. That is what we are planning on doing, as we really want to know what the exact substance is.
