Same stack, three commitment levels.
~80% of the stack benefit at moderate cost..The core combination — covers the main mechanisms.
Full mechanism + edge-case redundancy..Comprehensive coverage of every documented pathway.
Stopping alcohol creates three weeks of pain: GABA receptor downregulation rebounds (anxiety, insomnia), reward circuits crave dopamine bursts (low mood, restlessness), and the liver finally gets to catch up. This stack supports each pathway during the first 30 days.
What it's for
Adults stopping alcohol use. First 30-90 day support window.
Not for:Severe alcohol withdrawal needs medical care — DTs are lethal. Concurrent SSRIs without doctor input. AUD treatment programs are primary.
