New Products at Nootropics Depot

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.

What dose of the 10:1 would you recommend starting at? I made a post regarding the differences between products but stumbled across this post.
Since you said you take 500mg for the 1:1, should one try starting at 50mg for the 10:1? Or am I thinking about this incorrectly?

No, it does not really work like that. It's not taking all the compounds and making them 10X more concentrated. It's just concentrating some compounds that are water/ethanol soluble. I still stick to 500mg of both the 1:1 and 10:1. They just have different effects.
