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.

Doesn't caffeine take away from some of the effects of cordyceps? I think I read something along those lines on examine...
Is it ok to take both at the same time?

Examine cites a theoretical possibility of caffeine inhibiting testosterone synthesis via A2A antagonism. However, that is just a postulation, and I find they combine just fine together. There is also more to Cordyceps than just testosterone increases.
