Post-Drug Use Recovery
Neurotransmitter and recovery support.
Ranked by evidence strength across reported benefits.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Universal antioxidant that's both water and fat soluble — supports glycemic control and nerve health.
NAC (Pre/Post Drinking Use)
Glutathione precursor — bolsters acetaldehyde detoxification before and after alcohol.
Citicoline (CDP-Choline)
Phospholipid precursor with cytidine bonus — supports membranes and dopamine.
L-Tyrosine (Dopamine Replenishment)
Catecholamine precursor — replenishes dopamine/norepinephrine pools after stimulant use.
NAC (Post-Use Recovery)
GSH precursor — supports glutamatergic rebalancing and oxidative stress recovery after stimulant or psychedelic use.
Alpha-GPC (Cholinergic Recovery)
Choline source — supports acetylcholine after stimulant-driven depletion.
Magnesium Glycinate (Pre-Stimulant Use)
Pre-loaded magnesium glycinate reduces jaw clenching and post-use muscle tension during stimulant/MDMA use.
ALCAR + ALA (Mitochondrial Protection)
Mitochondrial antioxidant stack — popularized as harm-reduction adjunct for MDMA neuroprotection.
EGCG (Green Tea Catechin)
Potent CYP/COMT-modulating antioxidant — popularized in MDMA harm-reduction stacks.
Lion's Mane (Neuroregeneration)
NGF-upregulating mushroom — included in post-use stacks for neurotrophic support.
Vitamin C (Harm-Reduction Antioxidant)
Water-soluble antioxidant — quenches dopamine quinone and other reactive metabolites.
5-HTP (Post-MDMA Replenishment)
Serotonin precursor — used post-MDMA to support depleted 5-HT stores. Never combine same-day.
