What is the BLITZED dosing protocol?+
BLITZED is designed as a once-daily morning capsule with research dosing anchored on Sabroxy 600 mg (Oroxylum indicum standardized to 35% baicalein). Start with 1 capsule taken with food between 7am and 10am — food matters here because several ingredients (Rhodiola, DMHA, Mucuna) have different kinetics on an empty vs full stomach.
Ingredient loadings per serving: Sabroxy 600 mg, TeaCrine (theacrine) 240 mg, L-Theanine 240 mg, Rhodiola rosea (3% rosavins) 225 mg, Mucuna pruriens (98% L-Dopa) 120 mg, 2-aminoisoheptane (DMHA) 90 mg, saffron 28 mg, taurine (TAU) 25 mg, P5P (active B6) 10 mg.
Onset is typically 45–90 minutes. Duration runs 5–7 hours with the DMHA/theacrine combo providing most of the front-end stimulation and the L-Theanine/L-Dopa/P5P combo smoothing the curve. Do not combine with additional caffeine on the same day until you've established tolerance — the theacrine + DMHA stack is already at upper-end stimulant territory.
Cycling: 5 days on / 2 days off is the common framework to preserve sensitivity. The Rhodiola and L-Dopa precursors benefit from the break.
How do AMP Pouches dose and what is the onset time?+
AMP Pouches are sublingual. Place one pouch under your tongue or between your cheek and gum and let it sit for 15–20 minutes. Do not swallow the pouch. Do not chew. Absorption happens through the oral mucosa which bypasses first-pass hepatic metabolism, which is why the ingredient loadings look lower than BLITZED but the effect shows up faster.
Per-pouch loading: Theacrine 50 mg, L-Theanine 50 mg, Dynamine (methylliberine) 40 mg, Sabroxy 40 mg, Taurine 25 mg, CDP-Choline 20 mg, Kanna 15 mg.
Onset is typically 10–25 minutes. Duration runs 2.5–4 hours. The faster kinetics make AMP a better fit for situational focus (pre-meeting, pre-training, pre-social event) vs BLITZED's all-morning profile. Many users stack 1 AMP pouch with a BLITZED capsule when they need an extended runway — that pairing gives you the fast-onset layer plus the long-tail layer without double-stacking the same ingredients at dangerous levels.
Do not exceed 2 pouches in 24 hours. Kanna + Sabroxy + methylliberine is already pushing on monoamine signaling, and stacking pouches invites serotonergic side effects.
How should I dose Hypnos for sleep?+
Hypnos is a once-nightly capsule taken 30–45 minutes before target sleep time. Loadings are oriented around kavain as the primary GABAergic driver, not melatonin — the melatonin is intentionally low-dose (physiologic, not pharmacologic).
Per-serving: Kavain 400 mg (isolated kavalactone, not full-spectrum kava root), Oleamide 200 mg, Scutellaria baicalensis extract 200 mg (standardized to baicalin), Apigenin 100 mg, Tetrahydromagnolol 50 mg, Melatonin 2 mg.
Onset is typically 30–60 minutes. Duration is oriented toward sleep maintenance (4–6 hours of subjective sedation) rather than aggressive knock-down.
Important note: Hypnos uses isolated kavain, not traditional aqueous kava extract. Hepatotoxicity cases associated with kava products have predominantly involved ethanolic or acetonic extracts containing pipermethystine and flavokavins; purified kavain likely has a different risk profile but the research is not yet definitive. Do not combine Hypnos with alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, phenibut (INHBT), or other significant CNS depressants. Do not use if you have known hepatic impairment.
Cycle: most users run Hypnos 3–5 nights per week rather than every night to preserve responsiveness and minimize tolerance at the GABA-A site.
What is the INHBT (Phenibut) dosing protocol and cycle?+
INHBT is a pre-social or pre-anxiolytic-situation capsule with strict cycling requirements. The loading is designed around phenibut 800 mg as the lead compound — which places it at the upper end of common research doses. Do not double-dose.
Per-serving: Phenibut (β-phenyl-GABA) 800 mg, L-Tyrosine 500 mg, 2-aminoisoheptane (DMHA) 150 mg, saffron 15 mg, Huperzine A 400 mcg.
Dosing protocol: 1 capsule taken 3–4 hours before the target situation (phenibut onset is slow — peak plasma at ~3 hours). Duration of subjective effect runs 8–15 hours depending on individual pharmacokinetics.
**Cycle discipline is non-negotiable.** Phenibut has documented GABA-B receptor tolerance and a severe withdrawal syndrome when used more than 2–3 days consecutively or more than 2x per week. The Adera recommendation: maximum 1 capsule per week, no consecutive days, minimum 7-day washout. Users who report "phenibut works until it doesn't" are almost always exceeding this frequency and running into tolerance + withdrawal.
Do not combine INHBT with: alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, Hypnos (kavain), baclofen, or GHB analogs. The GABA-B synergy is dangerous at supratherapeutic combined exposure.
Regulatory: Phenibut is restricted in Australia, France, Italy, Hungary, Lithuania, and parts of the Middle East. Adera cannot ship INHBT to restricted jurisdictions. Check your local law.
What is the Selank nasal spray dosing protocol?+
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) administered intranasally. Oral administration is largely ineffective — peptide bonds don't survive gastric hydrolysis. Intranasal delivery bypasses that and allows direct uptake through the olfactory mucosa.
Common research dose: 1–3 sprays per nostril (typical concentrations 250–500 mcg per spray, batch-dependent) 1–2 times daily. Total daily research exposure commonly ranges 400–900 mcg. Onset is rapid (15–30 minutes) with a relatively short acute window (2–4 hours of subjective effect) but evidence for downstream effects persisting beyond the acute phase.
Storage: refrigerate after opening. Peptide stability in solution drops meaningfully at room temperature over weeks — refrigerated, typical shelf life runs 4–6 weeks post-opening.
Research-use framing: Selank is not a scheduled substance in the US but is not FDA-approved for any indication. Adera sells it labeled research-use only. See [the BodyHackGuide Selank compound page](/compound/selank) for mechanism briefs (tuftsin derivative, putative BDNF/NGF modulation, GABAergic downstream effects).
Common stacking mistake: combining Selank spray with benzodiazepines expecting additive anxiolysis. The current literature doesn't clearly support additivity and the downstream GABAergic modulation is not well-characterized — keep stacks simple until more is known.
How does the BDNF nasal spray dose?+
The BDNF Spray is a BDNF-mimetic nasal-delivered formulation. "BDNF mimetic" means the active compound is a small molecule that activates the TrkB receptor downstream of where BDNF itself would act — not BDNF protein (which is too large and fragile to survive intranasal delivery as a therapeutic).
Common research dose: 1–2 sprays per nostril once daily. Onset is not subjectively obvious in the way a stimulant is — the effects are structural (downstream neurotrophic signaling) rather than acute. Most research frames benefit over weeks, not hours.
Storage: refrigerate after opening. Like other peptide/small-molecule intranasal formulations, stability drops at room temperature over weeks.
Stacking: BDNF spray pairs mechanistically well with Selank spray (heptapeptide → putative BDNF/NGF modulation downstream) but there's no strong literature on combined use. Keep stacks simple initially. Do not combine with SSRIs without understanding that SSRIs also upregulate BDNF signaling — the additivity is unknown.
Research-use only. Not FDA-approved. Not a replacement for any diagnosed condition's standard-of-care therapy. See [the BodyHackGuide cognitive-enhancement pages](/best-nootropics-for-focus) for context on where TrkB-active compounds sit in the research landscape.
How does Adera test product purity?+
Every batch goes through third-party analytical testing using two complementary techniques:
**NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance)** confirms the structural identity of the compound — it tells you whether what's in the bottle is actually, say, kavain and not some cheaper substitute with similar appearance.
**HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography)** quantifies purity — how much of the compound is present by mass percentage, and what impurities (if any) are detectable.
Testing is performed on the **finished formulation** (the actual product you receive), not just the raw ingredient before blending. This matters because manufacturing steps can introduce contaminants and ingredient degradation that raw-material COAs don't capture.
Certificates of analysis are available by request — contact the Adera support team via their site contact form with your order number and the product you want the COA for. Turnaround is usually 24–48 hours.
How fast does Adera ship and where?+
**US orders:** ship within 48 hours of payment confirmation. Transit time depends on your location — West Coast to East Coast typically 3–5 business days with standard shipping. Adera uses USPS Priority and UPS Ground depending on package size.
**International:** available for most products but several are restricted. Phenibut (INHBT) cannot ship to Australia, France, Italy, Hungary, Lithuania, or parts of the Middle East. Kava-derived products (Hypnos uses isolated kavain) have their own jurisdiction patchwork — Germany lifted its kava ban in 2015 but other EU countries still restrict. Check your local law before ordering; Adera will refund restricted-jurisdiction orders but you lose the international shipping fee.
**Tracking:** provided via email once the order leaves the warehouse. For peptide sprays (Selank, BDNF), shipping is prioritized with cold-pack inserts for summer transit — this is done automatically, no action needed on your side.
**Customs:** for international orders, you are responsible for any customs duties or import fees in your country. Adera does not cover those.
How should I store each product type?+
**Capsules (BLITZED, Hypnos, INHBT):** cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Sealed container. Shelf life is typically 18–24 months from the batch date (check the label). Refrigeration is optional but can extend shelf life — no harm done.
**Pouches (AMP Pouches):** room temperature, away from moisture. Do not refrigerate — condensation will degrade the pouch structure. Sealed container once opened.
**Nasal sprays (Selank, BDNF):** refrigerate after opening. Peptide and peptide-mimetic stability in aqueous solution drops meaningfully at room temperature over weeks — refrigerated, typical shelf life runs 4–6 weeks post-opening. Before opening, cool, dry storage is fine but refrigeration is better. Do not freeze (freeze-thaw cycles damage peptide structure).
**All products:** keep out of reach of children. The front-loaded stimulant stacks (BLITZED, AMP, INHBT) in particular are not formulated for pediatric exposure at any dose.
Which products are legally restricted in my country?+
Adera ships from the US and can deliver to most global jurisdictions, but specific products are regulated locally:
**Phenibut (INHBT):** Unscheduled in the US federally. Banned or restricted in Australia, France, Italy, Hungary, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Russia's consumer market, and parts of the Middle East. Some jurisdictions (e.g. UK) do not have explicit scheduling but customs occasionally seize shipments under general research-chemical provisions.
**Kavain (Hypnos):** US federally unscheduled. The EU had a patchwork pattern after the 2002 kava hepatotoxicity scare — Germany re-permitted kava in 2015, but other EU states retained restrictions. Australia restricts commercial kava. Some other jurisdictions (UAE, Oman) prohibit it.
**Selank and BDNF sprays:** US unscheduled. Most countries have no specific scheduling but peptide research compounds face border-control scrutiny in some jurisdictions (notably Australia, New Zealand, Canada).
**The other capsule stacks (BLITZED, AMP Pouches):** the ingredients are generally unscheduled worldwide. DMHA (2-aminoisoheptane) is the only borderline-regulated ingredient; it remains unscheduled federally in the US but some state-level rules and several European countries have moved on it.
Adera publishes a restricted-jurisdiction checklist at checkout. You are responsible for compliance with your local law — Adera will not ship knowingly to restricted jurisdictions but cannot independently verify every address against every country's rules.
