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…

That's potentially a good point....
/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb, Would a capsule with a little noopept or tianeptine, and a lot of taurine test out the same way the addx-ox did?
How do you tell if there is a filler being used? And if so, is it feasible to tell what the nonfiller is? Presumably a centrifuge could be used to separate out components.

No it would not. It would show the peaks in the spectrum from the other things in it, like their OB-1 capsules did. That was mostly Niacin, but did have other things in it. You can overlay the spectrums from the 99.16% Taurine sample with the ADDX-OX, and there are no other distinctive peaks. That would denote there is nothing else in there that is structurally different than Taurine. However, if people really think it's legit, I can send off a sample to be GC/MS tested. That will separate anything that does exist.
