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.

Thanks for your reply. I'd be interested in doing the testing, so that I would have results to show to customers. I did not know where to go to get testing, so please let me know. If someone is capable of doing the testing, please let me know the cost, and I'll send out the products and payment for the testing. I do trust my suppliers and companies that manufacture the products, but there are always skeptics out there, and I'd like to be able to reassure them.

If you want to, I can arrange it. We use Colmeric Analyticals for our 3rd party testing. I have called a lot of labs in the US, and they are the cheapest and easiest to work with.
