Well I tried around 1-1.3g of Pyritinol in powder form, that seems like alot I know but I've had 800mg no problem. Two things I noticed using this powder vs. pills, the shade of powder looked slightly different from the pill, a shade of orange somewhat. When I tried to flush down the powder with a drink of water it would not dissolve but went down fine. Regardless 2-3 hours after I ingested this amount of Pyritinol I "evacuated" all of the contents of my stomach into my kitchen sink. This was NOT an enjoyable experience. [mellow]

I'm opening this up to discussion because Pyritinol worked and still works to increase my focus somewhat, but I don't want to bust my guts everytime I down this stuff.

Any thoughts?

No! My post might be a bit misleading but I felt terrible in the last 15 minutes leading up to my esquisite vomit, which made me feel much better.

Pyritinol is nasty acidic tasting. I cannot fathom swallowing over a gram of this stuff unencapsulated.

Put it in capsules.

pyritinol can have serious side effects and you are taking a high dose

I've heard that it can harm your liver, but my doses had averaged 400mg a day previously and I had no problems at all.

Regarding the color difference, even very small differences in the makeup of the powder can cause a pretty significant color change in some substances.

I wonder why Pyritinol is used while there is Vinpocetine? What are the advantages of Pyritinol over Vinpocetine?

@Adamp2p: Do you happen to know what the difference is between Pyritinol and Vinpocetine (in their effects)?

Vinpocetine acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, increasing microcirculation in the brain (similar to Gingko's effect), along with other effects on brain metabolism. Pyritinol acts to increase cholinergic release in neurons, as well as increase the uptake of choline.

@Cosmos: Maybe this clarifies why you were vomiting:

Pyritinol seems to be heavy on the liver.
I think I'll just skip this one.
@adamp2p and @axiombiological: Thanks for your replies, but I was more interested in what your personal experiences are (to make comparisons about Vinpocetine and Pyritinol).

Those case reports are far more serious than anything I had experienced. My stomach literally would not allow me to continue digesting the remainder of the Pyritinol I had consumed and I had the uncontrollable urge to vomit and so I did 2-3 times consecutively until I was on empty. Here's where I differ greatly from those cases, I felt absolutely fine afterwards with no adverse effects afterwards. However that being said it does worry me that Pyritinol MAY cause liver damage, but I believe I would've experienced the adverse effects of using the stuff after finishing a whole bottle of Pyrinitol and starting on my powdered supply of the stuff.
