Curious on y'alls thoughts on this. I spoke to a ayurveda person (ayurveda is where Ashwagandha and Bacopa come from) and he was like for thousands of years we put the herbs into food and ate it long-term and not made extracts out of it. Should we have skepticism over extracts with this logic maybe?
What they were answering

How would you hypothetically approach stuttering?
The prevailing research points to hyper-dopaminergic activity in the striatum/basal ganglia (similar to Tourette's) and potential deficits in lysosomal enzyme trafficking.
If you were to design a theoretical stack to tackle this, perhaps by modulating dopamine, reducing neuroinflammation, or improving inter-hemispheric communication, what would you reach for?

That's tough, because the causal mechanisms are not proven yet. Thiamine is the most studied supplement for stuttering, so that is an obvious easy one to have in there. Magnesium and L-theanine would be good for the GABA effects. I'd actually say Tauromag would be the best there. Vitamin D is deficient in a lot of people, and it affects dopaminergic signaling, so that would be an easy one to add in. N-acetylcysteine might be a good one to modulate glutamate as well.
Here is what I would try:
* Infini-B
* L-theanine
* Tauromag
* Cognance
* Vitamin D3/K2
