MDMA harm reduction - order of supplements

Hi all,
after researching about MDMA harm reduction, with the main source being /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb 's thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/DrugNerds/comments/15m9sf/mdma_supplementation/), I managed to get hold of the essential supplements. This is certainly no easy endeavor if you don't happen to live in the US. Had to import half of these supplements through customs. Such a hassle.
I have
* 2 litres of grapefruit juice
* Vitamin C capsules, with 750mg VitC and 100mg grape seed extract
* Magnesium glycinate pills, with 200mg elemental Mg
* Na-R-ALA capsules, with 100mg R-ALA
and for the morning after
* 5HTP pills with 100mg 5HTP (time release)
Now I was wondering about the order of supplementation. To keep it simple, I was planning on putting one of each into three baggies, and then pull out a baggie a time in the middle of the club and swallow all the pills at once. I dont want to worry more about taking my supps at the right moment than actually partying.
So the schedule is
* 6 hours before: Mg
* 1 hour before: VitC, Mg, Na-R-ALA
* take MDMA
* 2 hours in, another VitC, Mg, Na-R-ALa
* 3 hours later, the last baggie
**Do these supplements have any synergy or contraindicant…

I don't know if it would have any noticeable effect, but I've read that taking an antacid at the same time as mdma can increase the effect by temporarily lowering stomach ph level. By the same token, I'd wonder if vit c too close to the time of dosage could be a bad idea as might make stomach more acidic, so might be good to wait till up before taking vit c.
Also, vit c doesn't stay in the body too long, so might be a good idea to have some kiwi or strawberry as take longer to digest, I would imagine.
I think the Mg is solely to allievate jaw clenching issues, so if that's not a prob for you then might be worth skipping as I've heard it can get of the cool eye wiggles too.
On a side note, your not worried about getting stopped going into a club with bags of random looking pills?

Jaw clenching is just one of the subjective differences with an NMDA channel blocker like magnesium. It's really there to help prevent excitotoxicity. That prevents damage to your neurons from excess calcium influx, and also helps to mitigate tolerance buildup.
