The length of this post speaks well for your products.
But seriously, it's a harmless disclosure to say that you own a company that sells the stuff. It'd probably increase faith in your (good) analysis.

My company names are tagged next to my name in all posts on this sub. We do that for any vendor in this sub, so that it is automatically next to their name when they post. I am one of the moderators that started that program on here, so obviously I am not hiding who I am. Are you saying that I should have a conflicts of interest section on all my Reddit comments as well, like a research paper?
Also, I literally said I was not making a definitive claim on the facts or merits of the paper. I just brought up the glaring conflicts of the author, and said that I would have to research more before I came to a solid conclusion of my own. Anyone is free to bring up conflicts of interest like the author of the paper has. If I was going off proselytizing how I think the data is false, and that alpha-GPC is totally safe, perhaps this would be a different story. I made it clear that I needed to do more research before I was comfortable taking a sold stance, though.
But seriously, the dude owns the patent for even measuring TMAO. So not only does he have a financial stake in the mechanism being true, as he has stake in a company selling a drug to counteract it, but he has financial stake in even trying to measure the thing itself. Like I can't be the only one with massive alarms going off in their head, right?
