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…

Ill repost this because maybe it belongs here and not into the subcomments:

Nootropic users need to start doing "allergy tests", meaning you ingest ~1mg (or if its very active a lot less) of every new substance that you get.
That is what RC users do and its a great way to not die.
There are psychedelics that are active at sub milligramm levels and substances can get mixed up, so when you think its something else with a threshold of 10mg and ingest 10mg you are dead.

Dont belive you are doing something less risky or morally different than users of rare psychedelics.
Throwing in a scoop or half a gram of something can kill you and the guy can be glad to be alive.

I agree, a powder can be anything. Some things are deadly at much lower doses than 400mg.
