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.

I figured it was probably something along those lines. I wasn't sure about the efficacy of the original extract until I completed a cycle of it and ceased intake. All of a sudden exercise was significantly more difficult, and my confidence crashed. I was astonished at the magnitude of the effect, and how it had grown so steadily that I didn't even notice. I'll certainly be giving the new extract a shot.

Yeah, I have been using the original Cordyceps extract every day, and I love it! Everyone I get to try it loves the stimulation and energy it gives. The only thing I noticed is that it can upset my stomach if I take too much. So I limit my dosages to 500mg at a time. This new 10:1 extract does not upset my stomach like the 1:1, which is nice.
