Okay, so I am finally getting around to make a post about the results of some of the lab testing we have been doing. I've had the results for a bit, but I've been holding off on officially releasing them because frankly it stresses me out these days. It's the same song and dance every time, and it is one I have been doing for a decade now. I release results showing other products are not what they claim, then people attack me and claim I am lying to sell more product. Sometimes the attacks are relatively harmless, and just raise my blood pressure a bit for a day or two. Other times they are death threats to me, my family, and my team. It's not fun sometimes. You'll notice I don't do this nearly as much as I did back in the day on /r/Nootropics. I was younger and more gung-ho then, and had a lot less on my plate. Plus, my family and team kind of pleaded with me to stop doing it so much because of all the attacks and threats. This is why I have not been releasing things like this as much these days. It's not because product quality magically got better in the industry, I can tell you that much! Anyway, let's just get into it.
I woke up this morning ready to jump right into this pos…

To avoid lawsuits for sharing testing data of other branded supplements, have you ever thought about sponsoring phd programs or working with a local university? That way results could be published under a different name? Samples tested would be listed as purchased or supplied?

I have, and we have worked with ASU on some things before. However, it is not as easy as just calling them up and having them work on publishing results like that. That's why my ultimate goal is to start that nonprofit consumer protection organization. It needs an organizational structure to be sustainable. I know it would be a lot better to transition that away from a brand that sells products. That's actually where most of my passion is, and why I started out in this business in the first place. At some point I might transition to mostly just lab testing and consumer protection. Selling products is just how we fund the lab, pretty much. Don't get me wrong, I love the R&D side. Bringing out novel things is really fun. However, I hate the sales side of things. I hate how the brands making most of the money in this industry do it by lies and deceit. I wish I didn't even have to be a part of it. At some point in the future I really want to transition away from it. I'd be a lot more fulfilled and a lot less stressed if I could just focus on that.
