Heard something about a new bacopa a couple of months ago. Is it happening?

A bacopa extract that is unlikely to cause lethargy and tiredness but still give the memory benefits.
I would be really excited about that because bacopa is my favourite herb nootropic.
The first time I ever took bacopa was actually not a ND supplement but a local one in my country. It was probably(undisclosed) a water extract and was mixture of other herbs(with bacopa as the principal component). Sad thing for me is, that was the only thing that gave me the really old memory recall capability that bacopa gives in some people. It also didn't give much lethargy but I can't say that's for the type of bacopa extract itself cuz it is confounded with other things which interact with MAO inhibition.
After that I've tried both synapsa and the 24% extract from ND(still take the 24% sometimes) but I have never been able to replicate the same effects. It's been 4 years.
I wager the water extract might have unique components that are memory enhancing but doesn't induce lethargy when use long term. Asking if something of that sort might be in the works.

Is there still supply issues with the original bacopa?

LOL, that's been a nightmare. Yes, there is. We are hopefully almost worked through it, though. Cross your fingers.
