I'm a 50 year old male, in decent shape, slightly elevated cholesterol but no other major health issues, rarely drink, no recreational drug use. I recently became interested in Nootropics to combat anxiety, stress, and fatigue. Being a Lawyer I need every edge I can get in the day to day. So I read the Nootropic Blogs, watched dozens of videos and read hundreds of pages on this Reddit Feed. Having done the research I started taking the following (all of which I bought at Nootropics Depot). My first week I started taking Lion's Mane then introduced each Noot 1 by 1 every couple of days, then finally taking the following Stack over 3 weeks:
Lions Mane 500 mg - 1x/dayCDP Citicholine 250 mg - 1x/dayL-Theanine 200mg - 1x/dayRhodolea Rosea 500mg - 1x/dayOxiracetam 750mg - 1x/dayNoopept 10mg (caused brain fog after 3 days / discontinued)Fish Oil (daily)L-Tyrosine 500mg (caused brain fog after 2 days / discontinued)
At around the 3 week mark, I developed pain and burning on my lower right side/flank which radiated into my back, and my belly and side became swollen. Found myself urinating every hour. Went to my Doc right away. He did blood work which showed increase liver enzymes. He the…

Thank you for taking the time to explain things. I am new here but surely your reply seems more credible than the unsubstantiated accusations of shilling.

It's my pleasure! I've been here almost a decade; trying to not just make this subreddit better, but to improve the nootropics industry and make the nootropics community safer. I've also made my share of enemies over the years. Before I even started a nootropics company, I would raise donations from the community and go out and test company's products. If they were fake or impure, I would call them out here on Reddit. Me calling out company's fake or impure products over the years has made me a target. That whole testing program is actually the reason I started this company to begin with. The shit I found after I started testing the products that were out there showed me we really needed somewhere to turn to that did testing and quality control properly. Merely calling out brands for selling fake or impure products didn't help if nobody had an alternative to turn to. This is why I built the company I did, and spent so much on our lab.
I really have dedicated the last decade of my life to making both nootropics and supplements safer, and make the industry more open, honest, and trustworthy. I take all these products myself. I put this shit into my own body as well, which is why I take things so seriously. You guys have to be able to trust that what you are putting into your bodies is correct and pure. We also have to show the FDA that private companies can step up and do things properly, or the industry will be regulated to death. Companies have to step up to the plate and ensure lab testing and quality control is a priority. If that doesn't happen, we might be here in 5-10 years talking about the good old days when we could actually get cool nootropics. They are already talking about DSHEA 2.0. I can guarantee you that if that passes, it will be the end of the availability of many of these nootropics and supplements.
If you ever have and questions or concerns, you can always PM me here on Reddit. I am always around. Cheers!
