Whenever I get the Nootropics Depot newsletter I get all giddy, and my wallet runs in fear.
First off is a new Bacopa extract called Synapsa. Does anybody here have experience with both Synapsa AND Bacognize? I like Bacopa, but ultimately discontinued after 5 months due to lethargy and brain fog. Hoping someone can corroborate what I've read: that Synapsa is a bit more stimulating.
Second question is directed primarily at u/MisterYouAreSoDumb, but I think others will wonder the same. Cordyceps 10:1 extract from Nammex was also released today, with 20% beta glucans and 0.3% cordycepin by HPLC. Upon checking the original Cordyceps page, I see that it, too has 0.3% cordycepin, but 30% beta glucans. It would appear that the original is more potent-- is this true?
All input on both questions welcome.

Bacopa was a huge fad some time ago. Nowadays most people report (including myself) how it promotes fatigue and saps motivation. I think they missed the boat with Synapsa, but I'm sure it'll sell well enough.
The hot water extracts are a nice add since most research seems to use HWEs in their test subjects as they're more bio-available. I'll be buying those once my stock runs out.

Bacopa is a lot more than a fad. It's one of the most popular natural nootropics out there, and we sell a lot of Bacognize. People have been really hounding us to get Synapsa for a while, as some claim it is more potent and stimulating than other bacopa extracts. It's what is in the Bacopa GOLD product that has been out of stock for a bit. We've been bringing out different extracts of various plants for a while, so people can try them to see what they react best to. Some people swear by one of the other, so it is best to give people the chance to try each.
