Why PsyNaturals?

In the same way pre & post workout supplements feed your physical body for better performance, PsyNaturals fills your body AND mind with nutrients to support a better journey and a more mindful way to use psychedelics.

Let us explain…

Psychedelics can be hard on the body with short term side effects. They may include nausea, anxiety, dehydration, sleeplessness, etc.… This of course can depend on what condition your body and mind are before you take the psychedelics.

Hydration

How important is it to be hydrated while taking psychedelics? 

Staying hydrated is important for overall health and can be especially important when taking psychedelics. Psychedelics can induce changes in body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure, which can lead to dehydration and other physical symptoms. Additionally, some psychedelics can cause nausea and vomiting, which can lead to further dehydration. In order to minimize any potential risks associated with the use of psychedelics, it is important to stay hydrated before, during, and after the experience.

Sleep

How important is sleep after you take psychedelics? 

Getting enough sleep after taking psychedelics is important for several reasons. Firstly, psychedelics can cause significant changes to perception, thought, and emotion, and the aftermath of a psychedelic experience can sometimes be overwhelming or confusing. Getting enough rest and sleep can help the individual process and integrate their experience, leading to improved psychological well-being.

Additionally, psychedelics can affect the quality of sleep, leading to disrupted patterns or insomnia. Getting enough sleep after taking psychedelics can help to restore normal sleep patterns and improve physical recovery.

It is also important to note that sleep can play a role in reducing the risk of developing any adverse reactions after taking psychedelics. For example, lack of sleep can increase the risk of developing anxiety or paranoid thoughts. Getting enough sleep can help reduce the risk of experiencing these types of reactions.

Getting adequate sleep after taking psychedelics is essential for physical and psychological recovery, as well as for reducing the risk of adverse reactions. It is important to prioritize sleep and create a relaxing and conducive environment for rest.

Minerals

Why are taking minerals important before you take psychedelics? 

Taking minerals before taking psychedelics can be important for overall health and well-being.

Minerals, such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, play important roles in many physiological processes, including muscle and nerve function, maintaining fluid balance, and supporting the immune system. Adequate intake of minerals can help support overall health and well-being, which can be important before engaging in any potentially challenging or intense experiences, including psychedelics.

Minerals keep your brain, heart, muscles, and bones working properly.  Mineral boost energy levels, maintains electrolyte balance and supports the nervous system.  Maintaining electrolyte balance is crucial for optimal wellness.  Which is why PsyNaturals added a mineral complex called ConcenTrace™.  It is all-natural mineral concentrate containing naturally occurring ionic trace minerals come straight from the Great Salt Lake with 99% sodium removed.

“Experts estimate 90 percent of Americans suffer from mineral imbalance and deficiency.”

Vitamins

How do vitamins improve a psychedelic journey?

Vitamins, specifically antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E, can help support the body before and after a psychedelic experience by reducing oxidative stress.  Psychedelic substances such as LSD, psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), and DMT can have powerful effects on the brain and consciousness. The effects of psychedelics are thought to be primarily due to their interaction with serotonin receptors, leading to changes in perception, emotion, and thought.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, appetite, and sleep. Some vitamins are involved in the production of serotonin. For example: Vitamin B6 is needed for the synthesis of serotonin and other neurotransmitters.

PsyPrepare

PsyPrepare has a robust does of vitamins because they are essential for our health.  B6 and B12 are two of the most common vitamin deficiencies in the world so we made sure to add these to our formula.

Vitamin deficiency not only effects your immune system negatively is also can cause fatigue, weakness, depression, predispositions for infections, behavioral changes amongst other things.

Psychedelics are used for many reasons but the main reason they are in the forefront now is because we are in a global mental health crisis.  Traditional Western medicine is not working.  While psychedelics are not just working but “have inspired new hope for treating brain disorders, as they seem to be unlike any treatments currently available.” – Frontiers in Psychiatry.

Psychedelics are being used for depression and many other mental illnesses so if you are vitamin deficient (which can cause these same ailments) then this may hinder the very reasons you are taking psychedelics to begin with.

PsyReplenish

PsyReplenish Proprietary Blend includes herbs, amino acids, roots, and antioxidants. These work together to fight anxiety and stress, increase natural performance and improve mental and physical fitness resilience.

PsyReplenish Proprietary Blend includes melatonin, a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep. Good sleep is critical for overall health. 70% of American adults report insufficient sleep at least once a week while 11% report insufficient sleep every night. That is why we also added passion flower which calms the mind.

Drink PsyReplenish after the journey.  Sleep touches every aspect of health so it is crucial you get a good night’s sleep.  This will help restore the body and mind to help integrate your experience.

PsyPrepare & PsyReplenish Proprietary Blends

Green Tea Leaf Extract

Green Tea leaf extract is full of antioxidants and plant compounds called catechins.  Catechins help prevent cell damage.  It has been used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine for many reasons including aiding in digestion, improve heart and mental health.

Rhodiola Rosea

Rhodiola Rosea is one of the most powerful adaptogens.  “Adaptogens are plants and mushrooms that help your body respond to stress, anxiety, fatigue and overall wellbeing.” – Clevelandclinic.org.  Rhodiola is promoted to increase energy, stamina, strength, and mental capacity. It helps manage depression, anxiety, and other symptoms.  -NIH.  It is sometimes used before or after engaging in challenging activities, such as physical exercise or intense mental work.

L-Glutathione

L-glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is involved in a variety of physiological processes, including cellular defense against oxidative stress and toxin elimination.  L-Glutathione is a tripeptide (cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid).  Some key roles of L-Glutathione are detoxification and inflammation.  Other critical roles; Cofactor for several antioxidant enzymes, regenerations of Vitamins C & E (both in PsyPrepare), neutralization of free radicals, transports mercury out of the cells and the brain, and vital to mitochondrial function and maintenance of mitochondrial DNA. -NIH

CoQ10

CoQ10 is a nutrient that occurs naturally in the body.  “It is essential for the health of virtually all human tissues and organs.  It is one of the most significant lipid antioxidants, which prevents the generation of free radicals and modifications of proteins, lipids, and DNA.  It improves energy and augments the immune system.”   – NIH.  Pollution, medication, alcohol, poor diet and stress all result in increased antioxidant requirement to neutralize their damage.  The brain is very susceptible to oxidative damage due to its high fatty acid content, and as an antioxidant CoQ10 has the potential to reduce this damage and promote brain health.

GABA – Gamma Amino Butyric Acid

GABA is a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger in your brain.  It is known for producing a calming effect.  It is thought to play a major role in controlling nerve cell hyperactivity associated with anxiety, stress and fear. -Clevelandclinic

L-Theanine

L-Theanine is an amino acid found primarily in green and black tea and some mushrooms.  It has been shown to affect brain functions by relieving stress disorders, improving mood, and maintaining normal sleep.  some people report taking L-theanine before or during a psychedelic experience to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.

Passionflower

Passionflower is a plant commonly used in traditional medicine for its sedative and anxiolytic effects. Some people take passionflower supplements or use passionflower tea to help with sleep and anxiety issues.  Passionflower was used by native peoples of the Americas as a sedative.  It has many uses but is “promoted for anxiety and sleep problems.” – NIH

Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and is commonly used as a supplement to help with sleep problems. Psychedelics can have powerful and unpredictable effects on the brain and nervous system, inducing changes in consciousness, perception, mood, and thought which in turn create sleeplessness.
