Founder of Synaptic Scientific
Scott Ohlgren
Scott is the founder of Synaptic Scientific. He’s owned nutraceutical manufacturing companies since 2007, when he started the world’s first non-caffeinated think drink company, and his Brain Toniq beverage was the first nootropic ever to be sold in Whole Foods. By 2012, over 1,400 health food stores across North America, Europe and Russia were carrying Brain Toniq with over 2.5 million units a year.
Scott graduated from a natural foods school in the ’80s, and wrote three books on the diet-disease/diet-health connection that sold 80,000 hard copies in print. He’s been a keynote speaker on plant-based longevity and done live presentations throughout the world, including Ukraine and Russia.
Scott’s goal with Synaptic is to create the most potent cognitive and longevity formulas currently on the market, to make a small set of best-in-their-class formulas that have a noticeable, palpable effect on health, and to find a way to price them better than anything else in the marketplace.
This decades-long mission will expose more and more people to the power and intelligence of using herbal plants as their main medicine cabinet.
“We believe that mental health—depression, anxiety, ADHD, motivation focus, concentration, clear level-headed thinking and balanced emotions—can be profoundly helped through plant-based cognitive-enhancing formulas. That is the driving force behind Synaptic.”

As of 2022
Our Driving Force
As of 2022, 14 million Americans daily use amphetamines to deal with brain fog and concentration. Another 37 million—around 18% of the adult population—use antidepressants.
We at Synaptic believe that this increase correlates to the increase our culture is seeing in over-reactivity, black-and-white thinking, gross generalization, loss of language accuracy, argumentative thinking, divisive aggressiveness, even cult-like behavior.We believe this is is a sign of the loss of neuroplasticity, the ability to truly think clearly and logically, and caused in part by using the wrong tools. There is a much better way, and the answer lies, in part, with concentrated cognitive-enhancing plants. The studies and research papers are available— unbiased plant chemists reporting their findings in—that are showing real brain repair.
With the advent of new plant extraction technologies, we are now able to reach new levels of potency that were unheard of even a few years ago. This has changed the game on how we can help humans think clearer and make better choices in their work and life. The socio-cultural impact alone is perfect timing for these unprecedented times.
Nourishing the brain, instead of tweaking it.
Brain chemicals—serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and more—influence mood, mental health, and sound reasoning. Chemical imbalances of these can easily be caused by stress, bad dietary choices and the use of chemical stimulants. As a natural product formulator, my interest isn’t in ingredients that pull nutrients from the body. I’m interested in feeding the system with plant-based ingredients that nourish the mind of every user.

L2 medicinal mushroom mix
L2 combines two of the most powerful medicinal mushrooms—fully mature Ganoderma lucidum spores and Cordyceps militaris— from a biodynamic organic grower deep in the Dabie Mountain area of China, which produces the certifiably highest amounts of the active ingredients (triterpenes, β-glucans) on the market today.
