Science based 4-step recovery protocol

Afterglow protocol with first two steps

During intense experiences, your body releases significant amounts of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which leads to depletion afterwards.

The Afterglow Protocol supports hydration, muscle relaxation, and neurotransmitter replenishment during recovery.

The science explained

Evidence‑based nutrient support for cognitive balance & recovery

Science-based nutrients support your body’s natural systems under stress, enhance neurotransmitter and neural function, and provide hydration and antioxidant protection. Afterglow is helping you recover fully and maintain clarity after transformative experiences.

View supplement facts

Protects brain from neurotoxicity

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) replenishes glutathione and mitigates oxidative stress, protecting neurons from neurotoxic damage.

Relaxes muscles and jaw clenching

Magnesium Bisglycinate supports neuromuscular function, reducing muscle tension and easing jaw clenching.

Recovers serotonin and mood

L-Tryptophan boosts serotonin synthesis, aiding mood regulation and emotional resilience.

Keeps you hydrated

Electrolytes maintain fluid balance and cellular function, ensuring optimal hydration and physiological performance.

Calms down anxiety

L-Tryptophan serves as a serotonin precursor, supporting emotional regulation and reducing anxiety naturally.

Helps with sleep

Melatonin regulates circadian rhythms, promoting deep, restorative sleep and supporting the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.

Brings back clear focus

Phosphatidylserine enhances focus, memory, and cognitive sharpness.

Relaxes body & mind

L-Theanine promotes mental relaxation while keeping you alert and serene.

Carefully formulated and produced in Czechia, to support your body against:

  1. Serotonin crash
  2. Cognitive dullness
  3. Jaw clenching
  4. Nutrient depletion
  5. Integration struggle

“I don’t do this stuff often, but when I do, I want to do it right. Afterglow gave me peace of mind. I didn’t have to think about what to take or when it was just there, step by step. No brain fog, no sadness spiral, just a soft landing and a fresh start. It’s now part of my ritual.”

“Tried Afterglow during a music festival weekend and honestly, I didn’t expect it to make such a difference. Usually by Sunday I’m a zombie, but this time I felt clear, light, and still in a good mood. The sachets are super practical and the whole thing just makes sense. I love the design, it's very discreet.”

“I used Afterglow for the first time before a weekend retreat. Usually, after something that intense, I’m emotionally scattered for days. This time, I felt grounded. The protocol gave me a sense of structure and calm. Like I had an anchor. I could process the experience instead of just crashing from it. That alone made it worth it.”

“Since taking Afterglow, I’ve noticed that I’m much more emotionally stable after partying all night. I can actually fall asleep instead of just lying in bed the whole morning, unable to rest even a little. I don’t feel like absolute trash for the entire next week, and I don’t lash out at others the way I used to.”

“The second day after taking it, I used to have terrible comedowns. Just the darkest thoughts appearing in my mind, mood swings, and feeling mostly negative emotions. Ever since I've tried Afterglow, these effects were either non-existent or much more mild.”

Frequently asked questions

Every Afterglow pack contains 4 mini-packs (larger bundles also include an Extension Pack). Each one holds a specific combination of nutrients timed to its biological window. Together they cover neurochemical priming, mitochondrial protection, sleep recovery, and serotonin and cognitive rebound the following day.

Oxidative cell damage: NAC rebuilds glutathione. CoQ10 and Resveratrol protect your cell membranes before damage sets in.

Mitochondrial burnout: Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) refuels your mitochondria and gets cellular energy production back online.

Serotonin depletion: L-Tryptophan is the raw material your brain uses to make serotonin. It helps stabilise mood and emotional balance the day after.

Broken sleep: Melatonin resets your sleep cycle. L-Theanine settles your nervous system without knocking you out. The result is actually falling asleep and staying there.

Brain fog and scattered focus: Phosphatidylserine brings cortisol down and sharpens cognition. Omega-3 stabilise mood and help the brain function clearly again.

Muscle tension and dehydration: Magnesium Bisglycinate relaxes muscles and eases jaw clenching. Electrolytes restore hydration and keep your nerves firing properly.

2 – 6 hours before your session
Take Mini pack 1 with food + water. Rest, hydrate, eat light, set intention.

At the beginning of your session
Take Mini pack 2 with water. Hydrate steadily, stay present, avoid extras.

Before you go to sleep
Take Mini pack 3. Wind down, dim lights, avoid screens.

24+ hours after the 3rd Minipack

Take Mini pack 4 for recovery. Rest, rehydrate, reflect, ease back in.

Note: It’s important not to use this pack before the others, or before the 24 hour mark.

Antioxidants and mitochondrial support need to be in your system when oxidative stress is at its peak, not once it’s already done its damage. Serotonin precursors are only relevant after the initial neurochemical activity has settled. Melatonin only works if it’s taken before you try to sleep. Afterglow is a protocol because the timing is the point, not a nice extra.

Afterglow was designed with intention. Each pack supports a specific phase for a reason. If you miss a dose, don’t stack or guess. Take it as planned, or simply skip it.

This isn’t about rigid rules, but about respecting the rhythm your body actually benefits from. Timing matters here.

You should not feel a severe comedown:

Crash severity is typically ~50-70% lower when oxidative and mitochondrial stress are buffered.

Full recovery to baseline tends to feel more like 7-9 days than 10-14 days.

Sleep quality score over the first three nights improves from roughly 45-55/100 to about 70-80/100 when Mini pack 3 is used.

Many ingredients (vitamins, magnesium, antioxidants) are widely used, but interactions are possible especially if you take SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, mood stabilizers, or other serotonergic drugs. 

Always check with a qualified healthcare professional before using Afterglow alongside prescription medication.
