Other Possible MDMA/Ecstasy Supplements?

Original post in this thread

[deleted] · 7 points

There is an excellent MDMA Supplementation list here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/DrugNerds/comments/15m9sf/mdma_supplementation/

And I notice there are some anti-oxidant supplements listed.

Most of them dont score very high on ORAC value charts. (ORAC is an abbreviation for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity... basically measures antioxidant capacities). Should we be supplementing with foods like cinnamon, cloves, turmeric and cocoa powder instead of Vitamin C, grapefruit juice, etc?

On the Supplementation list linked above there are also a few supplements meant to help with the increase in depleted serotonin levels (such as 5-HTP). Would it be wise to also include SAMe, L-tryptophan, and St. John's wort to help serotonin levels?

Thanks for any input!

Just a PSA to be cautious about grapefruit juice consumption if you take certain medications. You can find lists on Google or ask your pharmacist.

Anyone on meds that would be adversely affected by grapefruit juice should seriously think about not taking MDMA. It too is a substrate for many of the CYP enzymes, and can cause the same issues GFJ can.
