Special caution is warranted for branded combination nootropics (2017)
- jl2718 8y agoOne product listed as better than others but no evidence given. Likely paid advertisement.
- neonate 8y agoI doubt that such a well-known blogger would risk his reputation so recklessly.
- jl2718 8y agoBloggers get paid. Shocking.
- mundo 8y agoReally, really false. He explains in detail why it's better, and then advises people to still not take it.
- jl2718 8y agoDetails: it comes in a packet instead of a pill, he likes the team, it has 7 ingredients instead of 20. I can't find one science-based reason to take this particular brand that he links to and keeps on praising throughout the article. This level of shilling requires a disclosure statement.
- mundo 8y agoThis is still false. He does not praise it (beyond "it's better than the really bad one I just described"), and he explicitly advises against taking it. I can only suggest reading the article more carefully because you've missed the entire point of it, which is to avoid all such combo-pills and experiment with nootropics (if at all) one at a time.
- meowface 8y agoAbsurd. Did you read it?
- jl2718 8y ago"90% of the people making branded combo nootropics are lying scum. A few, like XXXXX, seem like probably decent people trying to get it right – but are you confident you can tell them apart?" Of course not, so just go with brand XXXXX, right?
