TLR (True Life Research) Product Testing Results

Original post in this thread

MisterYouAreSoDumb · 200 points

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…

Glad to know I wasn't misleading people. I really lucked out: I've only ever bought NSI-189, Faso, and Bromantane from them!

It's a pity they have such a shitty owner lie about their products. A lot of the people in their customer service are great. I was treated very well and even got a free sample of Piracetam Hydrazide with my first order.

Still, I'm not ordering from them any more. Natural selection must have it's due, and in a business predicated on genuineness, "True" Life Research has, ironically, been found wanting.

Yeah, the NSI and Faso looked good. I did not get their Bromantane. I don't even have a valid spectrum for Bromantane. I have THT's spectrum, which could be Bromantane. I also have a DXM spectrum! Haha

The attitudes are certainly different; as are the regulations. The US is all about treating diseases with patentable compounds, and the FDA is there to regulate that. The issue is that nothing gets put through FDA trials

How is the nootropic laws in the US going to change?

Replying to norepinephrinex · You know, I'm not sure if I buy this argument. If you look on Usenet archives going back to the early 90's, people were making the exact same arguments , and that era was near the

The more untested and research-oriented compounds are such a minuscule part of the industry as a whole. It's not a risk comparatively. Just look at the same search trend graphs with Piracetam and Modafinil added to it:

Replying to Debonaire_Death · The only thing I've been disappointed with from them was bromantane, but bromantane might have disappointed me, anyway, as I've not sought it from another source. With that except

I've had so many people email me saying all the shit they got from TLR did nothing. These were more their mystery extracts, though. I have a ton of them here at our office. I am going to test them for purity and identifi

Replying to Debonaire_Death · Very informative post! You keep the noot vendors on their toes. I'm excited to see some new phenylated racetams from you guys. What do you think of the feasibility of phenylpramir

You could add a phenyl to pram. You could also add one to aniracetam as well. You could do a lot of things to the structures we use now. However, who knows what that will do. You have to look at the rotation and charge o
