Alright, well I ordered bulk Pyritinol from CH and got it in today.
I was excited to try it out so I measured out 400mg and downed it.

Now, I found something stating that pyritinol is supposed to taste nasty and be water soluble.
Surprisingly, the bulk powder I got fit neither of these criteria. It was tasteless, and highly hydrophobic.

My first thought was, OH SHIT what if it's huperzine a!? I called them and they assured me it wouldn't be. But they couldn't confirm for me that it was pyritinol. All he could say was that "it is what it is...we just got this new shipment in...it is what it is..."

Long story short I just want to know if cerebral health sells anything that is a hydrophobic, tasteless, off-white powder that could harm me in the dosage of 400mg?

Oh and one more thing, here is some useful solubility data: http://www.springerlink.com/content/n51l437025u0l827/

As you can see, from near freezing to near boiling, you have a 10 fold increase in solubility. In the case of pyritinol, you have two molecules conjoined, requiring an even greater solvent cage and thus more time to dissolve and re-crystalize.
