Testing reveals, many CoQ10 / SAMe supplements contain almost no active ingredients, despite label claims.

Supplement manufacturer NOW reports that of the 10 CoQ10 and SAMe products it subjected to analytical testing, only a few came close to meeting the label claims. Most products contained nothing useful or very little. The company purchased 10 CoQ10 products and 10 SAMe products and tested them to assess how much of the respective active ingredients they contained.

Ah, I totally missed that. Yeah, would be good if he put up a disclaimer that he works for a competing company when sharing bad test results.

Everyone knows who I am. I have been a moderator here for longer than most people even knew this subreddit existed. The entire concept of putting companies next to people's names was done by myself and the other mods. The way the subreddit looks, the rules, the post tagging, the vendor warnings,... I have been involved in it all. I have helped build this subreddit up from tens of thousands of subscribers to hundreds of thousands. I helped shape the modern nootropic market into what it is today. I am not just some random dude posting shit. Anyone that's been here for years knows the mission I am on: to advance the analytical and quality standards of the entire supplement industry. I started my company to help push that mission forward, not the other way around. I was testing company's products and posting the results on Reddit way before I started my own company. That company started right here on /r/Nootropics. You can go back through years of post history here to see everything I have done. If I am posting a number, you can be damn sure it is accurate and validated; because I value the trust people have put in me over the years, and I would never risk that for anything.
