TLR (True Life Research) Product Testing Results

As some of you may know, TLR has been selling proprietary compounds and extracts since they launched. That led a lot of people, including myself, to call them out on the practice. Who in their right mind would take something that they did not know the ingredients or chemical structure of?!? We also questioned their testing practices, which led to the owner telling customers that they did not need testing, and that people should just trust them. Again, more red flags. Then we had the owner threatening to sue us moderators for slander, libel, and defamation. There are other crazy things that people have made me aware of via private message. However, we will not get into that at the moment. Needless to say, I have been interested in testing their products for a while, and have been organizing to do just that. Today, we have those results.
Again, a big thanks to Nootropics Depot, for use of their lab in this testing.
Let's start with the most alarming results. Four of TLR's "proprietary" compounds have tested as Taurine powder. That's right, TLR has been selling ADJ01, MORP-OX, HDAC-OX, and ADDX-OX as proprietary compounds, yet they are just Taurine powder! They are touting their AD…

Well, at least there weren't any dangerous chems in there, and seems like the non proprietary blends are legit.
Also, what if taurine was a filler in some of those proprietary blends.. as, for example, ADDX-OX- 94.79% taurine (wonder what the other 5.21% are)..
Just thinking out loud here, as I've had good experience with their racetams, NSI, and Guanfacine..

The spectrum results did not show any other peaks for other substances. It would have shown there were other distinctive peaks if there were more substances in it, like their OB-1 did. That was mostly Niacin, but did have other things in it. However, I can certainly send things off to be GC/MS tested. That will separate anything in there, if there is anything else. But the other three capsules were over 98% Taurine. Do you really think things were legit?
