Well, it seems like it is that time again. The holidays are over, my shoulder has healed from surgery, and I at least have a little extra time to get back into the swing of things. So I say it is time we pick the next round of nootropics to purity test.
The first one on my list is heavy metals testing for Himalaya brand bacopa. They have been very sketchy with me asking them for their testing, and stopped responding to me altogether when I mentioned that they were selling their "India only" version of bacopa in the United States. I have a strong feeling that there are high lead levels in their product. We shall know soon enough.
Second, I think that given the recent reports, we need to test some of Nootrabiolab's products. There have been reports on Longecity of fake product going out, but they were limited and not proven. Now that we are getting more reports of issues, I think testing is definitely warranted. Should it be the sunifiram that has popped up as an issue recently?

I am the proprietor of nootropics.cc. I'd be glad to send you some free samples of our products for testing! All of our products are manufactured by reputable pharmaceutical companies and imported - so I believe them to be of a good quality. It's not possible for me to tamper with the products, as they come sealed in foil packs. But - I would always be happy to have someone test them and verify that these are high quality items. If you're interested, I'll send you a free sample of everything we sell, just PM me with your info.

Well the testing costs money. We can't just test everybody's products for them for free. Ideally the individual vendors would pay to test their own products, that way we don't run into issues like the Cerebral Health or Nootrabiolabs instances.
Your case is slightly different, since you are just reselling packaged pharmaceutical nootropics from other countries. The testing for that can be done. We did it for the www.piracet.am piracetam tablets. The testing was a little more, but Sophie paid for it herself.
