Our story

Sometimes a great idea begins where you least expect it – in a dark club, amidst strobe lights, bass, and people full of energy.

That is exactly where the journey of Patrick Faber, the inventor and founder of Synapshot, began.

THE QUESTION BEHIND THE IDEA

In the early 1990s, Faber toured Austria and the world as a DJ. To finance his studies in biochemistry and later business – and because it was fun. Electronic music, festivals, and raves created a new youth culture, and one drink was always there: Red Bull. Faber encountered the brand not only as a DJ, but later also as a club owner and event organizer.

He recognized the enormous appeal of the energy drink pioneer early on. But from a scientific point of view, he remained skeptical: The common ingredients did not convince him. And that is exactly what triggered something new.

FIRST FORMULATIONS. IMPORTANT LESSONS.

From the desire for greater focus came 111% – Brain Optimizer: a functional energy drink developed with carefully selected amino acids and inspired by scientific insights on focus and mental performance.

An independent study by the University of Paderborn confirmed significantly enhanced brain performance and faster recovery – after just one can.

Despite interest in a partnership with Dietrich Mateschitz, founder Faber deliberately chose independence. After a promising market launch in Germany and Austria, pressure from the beverage industry eventually forced him to give up – a bitter but important lesson.

REIMAGINED INSTEAD OF GIVEN UP

Giving up was never an option for Faber.

After an intensive period of reflection and further development, he improved the original formula, completely eliminated sugar, and looked for an even more compact way to use it.

The idea was radical – and brilliant: What could a performance product look like that doesn't require an additional drink or capsule?

This is how the concept for a completely new product was born – Synapshot.

FROM THE IDEA COMES SYNAPSHOT

This evolution led to Synapshot: a caffeine-containing nasal spray with vitamin B3 and selected amino acids.

Its compact format can be easily integrated into busy days without capsules or an additional drink. Synapshot is not intended as an aggressive instant booster, but for regular use before and during demanding work, study, or gaming sessions.

What makes Synapshot spray special?

  • Caffeine + amino acid complex
  • Two sprays per dose
  • For regular use

Our mission

We want to help people structure demanding days more consciously.

Synapshot is not intended to replace sleep, breaks, or a balanced diet. It is designed as a simple addition to a regular routine, before and during periods when concentration is particularly important.

For us, this means a transparent formulation, clear usage recommendations, and honest communication about what Synapshot is and what it is not.

Focus doesn’t need exaggeration. It needs a clear foundation.
