Historical formula comparison. This page compares the versions described in the original Addium vs. OptiMind article. The retained labels and ingredient details are archival; they are not a verified description of products sold today. Prices, availability and current formulation equivalence have not been established for this pair.

Addium label ambiguity compared with an older OptiMind blend
This pair turns on whether formula information can be trusted and matched to a version. It is not enough to observe that one of Addium’s reported lists resembles OptiMind and infer equal effects. Nor can the old report establish that a labelling problem continues today. The archive is evidence of what this site reported, not an independent authentication of either product.
What the archived formulas contained
Addium: the version described here
The Addium archive contained conflicting ingredient lists. One combined acetyl-L-carnitine, theanine, caffeine, rhodiola and bacopa with B6; another described a longer blend including alpha-GPC, GABA, phosphatidylserine and other entries.
OptiMind: the version described here
The OptiMind account described a proprietary blend with caffeine and sulbutiamine. It also noted an inconsistent vitamin-name entry in the historical material, which should be resolved against a genuine label rather than reproduced as a valid nutrient identity.
What this comparison can establish
Do not use the original OptiMind winner claim. Confirm the exact Addium formula and correct vitamin identification first; only then can ingredient quantities and supporting studies be compared.
The old overall winner and price-per-serving ranking have been removed. A formula description can identify differences, but it cannot by itself establish clinical superiority. Before using an archived comparison for a purchase, match the exact product name and version to a dated manufacturer label, including serving size, ingredient amounts and relevant warnings. Do not transfer old directions to a different formula.
Keep the comparison separate from the product review
This page answers the pairwise question above. The individual reviews provide the separate product histories, label discussions and evidence limitations: Vitamin B12 Review; OptiMind Review. A historical mention here is not evidence of current availability or discontinuation.
