Cognance final review - much ado about nothing !

This is in follow up to a previous review where I used 100mg of Cognance for a week and noticed nothing.
Then I went on 200mg a day for 3 weeks and still nothing to report home about …. No placebo effect either
I then took 200mg of Cognance with prescription Adderall 10mg. It caused irritability, anger and bad mood. The focus provided usually by standalone Adderall 10mg was completely lost.
So my final review is give this a pass. It’s absolutely worthless for me.

I am curious as to why a Twitter thread is more indicative of people's responses when multiple reddit threads aren't. So negative reviews are just chalked up to reddit=bad?

It's not "more indicative" of people's responses, which is not even what I said. Nor am I chalking (It's chalked up, not chocked up) up non-responses on here to just Reddit being bad. I have no doubt that most people saying they didn't react to Cognance are telling the truth. That's just the reality of human body/brain chemistry. It's when people use their own personal experience to paint everyone's reactions with a broad brush that it becomes a problem. You personally not getting an effect from something doesn't mean others are not. You know how many people I have spoken to that don't react to tongkat ali, or get side effects that make them drop it? TONS. That doesn't mean tongkat ali is a failure, nor does it mean that thousands of other people are not getting good effects from it. Like I get people's natural response to hype when they don't react well to that thing. I totally get it. There was a lot of hype for Cognance, and it feels shitty when you personally don't react well to it. I get why people want to push back and "bring it down a notch" because they feel it didn't live up to the hype for them. However, Cognance is no different than any other supplement out there. There are going to be people that love it. There are going to be people that hate it. There are going to be people that are indifferent to it. That's normal and expected. If everyone reacted the same to things, life would be a lot easier. That's just not reality, though.
A similar thing happened with Sabroxy, albeit to a lesser extent. The people that didn't react to it started to comment constantly about how it was a failure and didn't work. It was the same people over and over saying Sabroxy was a failure. This started a narrative on Reddit that people in general didn't react well to Sabroxy. However, that was just not true when you actually speak to a representative sample of people trying it. I've seen multiple comments on here now that our supercritical CO2 coriander was much more deserving of the hype than Cognance, and that the coriander was the strongest supplement they have tried. I can see their point, as I really love that one, too. However, the overall data does not support that conclusion. I think our coriander is a fantastic supplement, but I am getting much more positive feedback on Cognance from people. There are non-responders to the coriander, too. However, I don't see tons of people making negative posts about it and telling others they should skip it. Maybe because it was not as hyped, and people don't feel the need to "bring it down a notch" like they do Cognance, but that's not an objective view of things... That's my point. It just creates these skewed narratives on things. I wasn't going to comment here, but then someone said that it looked like most people are not getting good effects from Cognance. That's why I chimed it... and you know what, if in 6 months people are not ordering Cognance, and the feedback I am getting is no longer positive, then I will change my tune. However, at the moment the feedback I am getting is overwhelmingly positive.
