After establishing quite definitively that the only effects PrimaForce Piracetam has on me are confusion, anxiety, and dysthymia, I've wondered about whether:
A) I received an inferior product. Although hardly rigorous science, I've found that the stuff just does not have any pungency like the good ol' stuff I got back in December '08. When I finished my first tub and switched to PrimaForce, I began a general decline in mental acquity, which may or may not be related. It actually smells (and tastes) quite stale. Besides this, there's always the possibility of heavy metal contamination, a scary thought. I'm also suspicious of Mike McCandless (the businessman behind PrimaForce and "SmartPowders" at the moment... but that's another topic. (See Vendors section for more info).
B) The product was damaged in shipping or in storage. I do my best to keep my supplements away from the light and in cool temperatures, but shit happens when you're living in Southern California. If it were exposed to say, 85 degree heat periodically, I wonder how significantly the contents would be altered? Enough to ruin the whole batch and produce wildly unpredictable (negative) effects?
I want to know what the pharmacologically wise here think.
