Extreme Pax FAQ’s

How do the Extreme Pax work?

  • The formulas in the Extreme help boost serotonin and dopamine, important neurotransmitters that make you happy, focused and motivated. These important chemical messengers get depleted with stress, lack of sleep, high carb and sugar diets, drinking alcohol, smoking and use of particular mind-altering substances such as MDMA (Ecstasy), Cocaine and Psychedelics.
  • Initially, alcohol and these mind-altering substances create a boost in serotonin and dopamine levels, which can create a sense of euphoria, but afterwards these neurotransmitters take a dip, which can result in feelings of low mood, depression, fatigue, and anxiety. Extreme Pax help to reboot the brain to minimize this untoward effect.
  • The initial flood of dopamine can also create increase muscle tension and clenching, especially in the jaw and alterations in the eye muscles.  Extreme Pax were also formulated to help support proper muscle function and decrease spasms and cramping.
  • These nutrients formulas also boost glutathione, a powerful anti-oxidant, to help protect the body’s cells and liver from the damaging effects of alcohol and toxins and boost overall energy levels.

I take 5-HTP.  Isn’t that enough to help my brain recover?

Dr. Cory likes to say that the Extreme Pax go beyond 5-HTP.  While this nutrient can help to support healthy serotonin levels in the brain, there are a few considerations to keep in mind to ensure that your brain and body get a complete reboot.

  1.  5-Hydroxytryptophan( 5-HTP) needs B-6, B-12 and Vitamin C to ensure that it converts to serotonin effectively. Often people are deficient in these nutrients- especially vegetarians and stressed out people.  Modern humans burn through them or they do not get absorbed well.  So in that sense, 5-HTP on its own is not enough.  
  2.  Psycho-active substances like MDMA and psychedelics can deplete both serotonin AND dopamine, as well as other nutrients and neurotransmitters in the body that require additional vitamins, minerals and amino acids to replenish and rebuild them.  Like tyrosine for example.

So it is important to address these factors when considering taking nutrients for harm reduction.

 

What are the big white pills?

The 2 biggest identical white pills are a calcium-magnesium mineral formula that help to decrease muscle tension and clenching, especially of the jaw.  You can take them during your journey if needed, or take them at the end of the evening.  

Are Extreme Pax safe?

Yes.  They are made of physician quality, activated nutrients.  Thousands of Extreme Pax have been used safely. In fact, some people just take them to feel more energized and clear, and boost their mood- even if they have not been partying.  They are also great post traveling.
