Haoma Revelation Aid

Haoma Revelation Aid is a plant-based supplement that is formulated with natural extracts of Espand, an ancestral plant that has been used by the Pagan and Zoroastrian priests of ancient Iran in pursuit of otherworldly wisdom and a sublime state of mind, The Good Mind.  Haoma Revelation Aid contains a high dose of beta-Carbolines, that is approximately equivalent to the level found in a standard dose of Haoma or Ayahuasca brew. This extraordinary formulation demands a conscientious and thoughtful approach, within the optimal set and setting. Prepare with intention and consider minimizing fermented food intake 24 hours prior to this psychoactive journey. Choose a serene and familiar environment, sitting or lying down in utmost comfort. Opt for a quiet, safe ambiance with minimal stimulation. Wait at least 3 days before you take another macrodose from Magi Ancestral Supplements.

PREPARATION AND DOSE

This macrodose demands conscientious and thoughtful preparation of mindset and setting. Minimize consumption of fermented, canned, and aged foods including cheeses, cured meats, and kombucha for at least 24 hours prior to this psychoactive journey. For best results, fast for at least 12 hours prior to your journey. See below for a detailed list of dietary abstinence recommendations. Set your intention mindfully about what you wish to discover about yourself.  Choose a serene and familiar environment where you can sit or lie in comfort, and feel safe and quiet with minimal external stimulation. Take 1 capsule, close your eyes, and begin to meditate.  Close your eyes and begin to meditate in any form that is calm, e.g. open awareness like Vipassana or fixed attention like Transcendental Meditation, but not any form that is physically intensive like holotropic breathwork or Zikr. You should begin to feel your mind spreading and lightening further as you get deeper into meditation, around 5-15 minutes after dosage.  The peak effects will kick in around 30-60 minutes after dosage, depending upon how empty is your stomach and how tranquil is your mind.  The main effects will begin to dissipate 2-4 hours after dosage for you to return to normal waking activities. Wait at least 3 days before you take another macro dose. Trust the wisdom of our Ancestors. Trust yourself, your preparation, and your dedication as you embark on a journey of self-discovery and omniscience. Unlock boundless possibilities with unwavering confidence in the profound potential of this plant-based wisdom, the ancestral legacy of Zoroastrian Magi. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Do not take if you are pregnant or nursing. Consult with your physician prior to use if you have high blood pressure or a medical condition, or if you take any prescription medications (including but not limited to MAO inhibitors and antidepressants).  Do not operate motor vehicles or machinery while under the effects of Haoma Revelation Aid. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.

FOODS TO AVOID

Tyramine is a naturally occuring amino acid produced in the body that helps regulate blood pressure and can also be found in high concentrations in certain foods, particularly aged, canned, and fermented foods .  Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI’s) that inhibit the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine also inhibit the breakdown of tyramine, and can present a risk of tyramine-related hypertension.  Because of this risk, both modern and ancestral cultures have followed a practice of exercising dietary caution when ingesting MAOI’s, including natural MAOIs such as beta-Carbolines.  This includes the medical advice of avoiding tyramine-rich foods when taking prescription MAOI’s such as Marplan (isocarboxid), and the tradition of following a preparatory Ayahuasca dieta before a ceremony. The risk of tyramine related hypertension is much less of a concern today than 30 years ago when food was much higher in tyramine, but scientific research suggests that the risk of tyramine related hypertension continues to affect 15% of the population. For the other 85%, there is lesser concern when combining MAOI’s with tyramine at levels up to 200-800mg (equivalent to eating 1lb of gouda cheese or 1.5lbs of mackerel – two of the highest tyramine-containing foods).  But for the other 15%, there may be a concern at as low as 10mg of tyramine (equivalent to 2 ounces of ham or 1 ounce of cheddar – two of the higher tyramine-containing foods). Very few in Magi’s community follow an MAOI diet and none have reported any issues.  Regardless, we recommend taking our products either first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening on an empty stomach to mitigate this concern – and more importantly for greater effectiveness.  The majority of your body’s neurotransmitters are actually in the gut, not the brain, so consumption on an empty stomach also helps with bioavailability.  Especially with Haoma Revelation Aid, which contains a significantly higher content of beta-Carbolines than our mini-dose and microdose products, we also recommend avoiding the following tyramine-rich foods for 24 hours before and after:

• Aged cheeses, particularly blue cheese, cheddar, swiss, paresan, and feta.
• Cured or processed meats, including dried sausages, pepperoni, hot dogs, bologna, bacon, and prosciutto.
• Pickled or fermented vegetables, such as kimchi, pickles, and sauerkraut.
• Fermented soy-based products such as tofu, soy sauce, and miso soup.
• Fermented beverages, including alcohol and kombucha.
• MSG-containing foods and sauces, such as fish sauce and teriyaki.
• Dried fruits and vegetables.
• Any canned or bottled foods.
• Yeast-extracts such as vegemite, marmite, and sourdough bread.
• Aged meats, particularly red meat.
• Aged fishes, such as smoked salmon, mackerel, cod, and sardines.
• Certain beans, such as fava and broad beans.
• Nuts, seeds, and nut butters

FAQ

How will I feel after taking Haoma Revelation Aid?

• Most people report feeling a warm numbness and relaxing feeling of mental spreading within 15 minutes after taking Haoma Revelation Aid, with some physiological disorientation. Some in our community have described the sensation as similar to a strong dose of yagé, the ayahuasca vine, in the absence of chacruna (the DMT source commonly used in ayahuasca brew).
• Most people report that the peak psychological and emotional effects of Haoma Revelation Aid persist for 1-2 hours, and the lingering relaxing and opening sensation continues for as long as 4-6 hours. The physiological effects persist for 2-3 hours, after which most people feel re-oriented and capable of social interaction or operating motor vehicles again.

Should I meditate on Haoma Revelation Aid?

• Yes! Haoma Revelation Aid is meant to facilitate deep personal exploration and insight, as facilitated by the meditative state of conscious awareness.
• Haoma Revelation Aid is well suited for any form of meditation that is serene and calm, such as open awareness like Vipassana or fixed attention like Transcendental Meditation. It is not well suited for a physically intensive form of meditation like holotropic breathwork or Zikr.

Can I take Haoma Revelation Aid day or weekly?

• Haoma Revelation Aid should not be taken daily. It can be safely taken weekly, but we do not recommend using Haoma Revelation Aid more than once every two weeks.  The psychological effects of deep personal insights can be overwhelming, and at a minimum require intentional integration to be internalized.

Why is it best to take Haoma Revelation Aid on an empty stomach?

• The majority of your body’s neurotransmitters are in the gut, not the brain. For this reason we recommend taking Haoma Revelation Aid in the morning before eating, as food can interfere with neurotransmitter absorption.  While this is not a requirement, the closer your stomach is to empty, the higher the bioavailability.

Is Haoma Revelation Aid safe?

• Haoma Revelation Aid is safe when taken as directed at the recommended dosage.
• We designed our Haoma® formula from the purified natural plant extracts of Espand. In addition to their anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, the natural beta-Carbolines extracted from Espand also function as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) [1] that can cause an increase in blood pressure when consuming foods containing tyramine [2].
• The levels of tyramine in food have been decreasing over time, thanks to advancements in agricultural technology and improvements in food processing and storage. Although tyramine related hypertension affects only a small minority of the population [3], we recommend avoiding tyramine-rich foods when taking Haoma Revelation Aid.  Taking Haoma Revelation Aid on an empty stomach will also mitigate the risk of hypertension and nausea.

How does it work?

• Our macrodose supplement contains Haoma (R), a precise macrodose formulation of Espand-derived beta-Carbolines that begin to affect the central nervous system within 20 minutes of being ingested. The compounds in Haoma(R) have been shown to:
  • Inhibit neurotoxins [4] and provide neuroprotective antioxidant effects [5]
  • Inhibit tumor cells [6] and promote the growth of anti-tumor cytokines [7]
  • Inhibit inflammatory signaling⁵ and the growth of inflammatory prostaglandins [8]
  • Promote neurogenesis by increasing BDNF⁶ and hNPC levels⁷
  • Modulate neuroreceptors such as serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, histamine, and imidazoline, that are involved in perception and consciousness [9]
  • Modulate the brain’s limbic system that is involved in semantic memory storage and emotional processing to slow the level of switching between states of fear and security.
• At its dosage level and precise blend of specific beta-Carbolines our Haoma(R) formula promotes the an altered state of perception for cognitive insight while awake.
