New Products at Nootropics Depot

Original post in this thread

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?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic & Nootropics Depot

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.

Long-term review of Erinamax?

Cordyceps and Caffeine

Replying to JesleyH · MYASD is an avid user of both so he should be able to give you a good answer, especially as he knows the chemistry involved more than average user here. u/misteryouaresodumb

Cordyceps has a complex relationship with testoserone, and is likely a lot more involved than just adenosine/StAR. Studies have found that normal dosages of cordyceps increased testosterone, while increasing the dose fro

⚠️ NEW PRODUCTS ALERT | Mushroom Magic Matcha Powder Blend And Full Spectrum Kanna Tablets⚠️

Replying to AurisAsas · Kinda dissapointed that 1:1 Cordyceps extract was chosen, instead of 10:1, given how often it was stated that 10:1 extract(of specifically cordyceps, not necessarily so for other m

1:1 works way better in the matcha blend from a taste perspective. Also, we didn't want to make it cost too much for people. People have this perception that we are expensive as it is, so I didn't want to make a crazy ex
