What Did Early Onnit Tests Find in AlphaBrain?

Joe Rogan said the early days of Onnit showed how dirty supplement manufacturing can be. While making AlphaBrain, a mix of nootropics and nutrients clinically proven to help memory, Onnit used third-party testing and kept finding ingredients in the batch that were not supposed to be there. The makers run all kinds of products through one bin and do not clean it.

Onnit sent the ingredient list. The lab was supposed to add only what the formula called for, and the finished batch came back for an outside test. Extra compounds still showed up. Joe Rogan said the same pattern hits athletes who buy supplements from a nutrition company and later find other steroids in them. Some brands do it on purpose. A shopper takes a muscle builder sold as 25X 2000, gains 10 pounds, and the gain comes from steroids.

Joe Rogan said he still likes nootropics and that they work, naming Gorilla Mind as another formula, and calls the supplement industry a giant place for scams because it is largely unchecked.
