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…

I can't understand how people can just write this whole thing off so easily
I don't know if they are anyone's favorite vendor but many of us have ordered multiple products from Cerebral Health over the years with no problems. Reddit can easily be gamed by a determined individual or group. The only reason I am starting to believe that these reports might be true is that gwern seems to be going along with it.

I personally sent in the choline sample, and it immediately made your mouth go numb. It was definitely not choline bitartrate. Zombiechalmers ordered and sent the pyritinol sample in. Not to mention, there are other reports of this happening 11 and 7 months ago with other people. Everyone wrote it off then, but now the dots are connecting. There is no reason to believe these reports are anything but true. You can even call Colmeric and verify if you want.
Why would anyone make libelous accusations toward Cerebral Health if they were not true?
