Pretty solid. Got your basic choline + AChE-I, plus caffeine and something to add to it (Dynamine), and ALCAR and taurine (even if a little more ALCAR would have been “ideal” IMO), and glycine is always a nice bonus, and I assume this is a powder given the large size, and glycine tastes sweet.
So the novel ingredients are the Noolvl and the Virtiva, which is a ginkgo/PS complex. Pretty cool. Both have acute studies on them, which is nice, since we know caffeine, dynamine, CDP, huperzine, and taurine all have acute effects as well.
Regarding the Virtiva, have there been any studies since the 2007 one? I’m not doubting the ingredient at all, but I’m just wondering if it provides benefits beyond just optimal doses of ginkgo and PS together, as the study mentions the PS complex improving the low dose of ginkgo used. Would perhaps higher doses of ginkgo work equally well? And higher doses of PS have been shown to have benefits of their own too, but nothing shown acutely IIRC. But I suppose if this one ingredient can do the job of two others, with high-dosed PS being quite expensive, then that’s pretty cool.
2007 Virtiva study:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17457961/
Found 120mg ginkgo with PS complex (Virtiva) was superior to just 120mg ginkgo, which didn’t do much.
But we have other studies showing that 120mg ginkgo didn’t do much, while 240-360mg had a linear, dose-dependent effect on memory and cognitive performance:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/11026748/
So do we have reason that Virtiva is superior to higher doses of ginkgo alone? Do we have reason to believe that this is providing full benefits of ginkgo AND PS, or just that the PS is used fo potentiate a suboptimal does of ginkgo? The discussion in the study seems to suggest that either is possible.
