Product Description

Mang Lucid Dream Supplement is a non-sedating natural lucid dream aid formulated with extracts of Espand, an ancestral plant that has been used by Zoroastrian priests of ancient Iran in rituals to see into the realm of souls and after death. Mang Lucid Dream Supplement is also formulated with natural extracts of Qian Ceng Ta, an ancestral plant from Traditional Chinese Medicine known as the Tower of 1000 Steps for its physical similarity to a Buddhist pagoda and mind-elevating effects. We also formulate Mang Lucid Dream Supplement with the natural extracts of grapefruit, whose flavonoid antioxidants such as naringin help improve the bioavailability of Espand-derived beta-carbolines and augment the synergistic effects of Espand and Qian Ceng Ta extracts in concert. Mang Lucid Dream Aid helps promote dream lucidity and recall in the REM stage of sleep so that you can wake up with insights from your somnus journey.

FAQ

How will I feel after taking Mang Lucid Dream Supplement?
  • Some people report feeling tranquil after taking Mang Lucid Dream Aid, but most people do not feel physiological effects. Some in our community have described the sensation as similar to the sense of relaxation and calm from a mixture of matcha and chamomile tea. Upon waking the next day, people report feeling a sense of awe and wonder.
Can I take Mang Lucid Dream Supplement every day?
  • We designed Mang Lucid Dream Supplement so that you can take it safely every night without becoming dependent. It can be emotionally overwhelming to repeatedly experience deeply vivid dreams, so we recommend that most people cycle Mang Lucid Dream Supplement every other day or every third day or follow a protocol such as 4-on / 3-off or 5-on / 2-off.
Is Mang Lucid Dreaming Supplement safe?
  • Mang Lucid Dream Supplement is safe when taken as directed at the recommended dosage.
  • We designed our Mang® formula from the purified natural plant extracts of Espand and Qian Ceng Ta. 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, we recommend avoiding tyramine-rich foods when taking Mang Lucid Dream Supplement. Taking Mang Lucid Dream Aid on an empty stomach will also mitigate the risk of hypertension and nausea.
Why is it best to take Mang Lucid Dream Supplement on an empty stomach?
  • The majority of your body’s neurotransmitters are in the gut, not the brain. For this reason we recommend taking Mang in the evening at least 3 hours after 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.
How does it work?
  • Our Lucid Dreaming Supplement contains Mang®, a precise low-dose formulation of Espand-derived beta-Carbolines and Qian Ceng Ta-derived nutrients that begin to affect the central nervous system within 20 minutes of being ingested. In preclinical and mechanistic research, beta-Carbolines like these have been studied for their:
    • Neuroprotective and antioxidant properties [3][4]
    • Effects on inflammatory signaling pathways [6]
    • Influence on neurogenesis markers such as BDNF and neural progenitor cells in preclinical models
    • Modulation of neuroreceptors such as serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, histamine, and imidazoline, that are involved in perception and consciousness [7]
  • Through these actions, Mang® is formulated to support high-frequency brain activity during the REM cycle, supporting lucid insight and recall.
How does Mang Lucid Dreaming Supplement differ from Haurvatat Deep Sleep Aid?
  • Although derived from purified extracts of the same Espand plant, Mang Lucid Dream Supplement contains a different blend and dosage of selected beta-Carbolines than the Haurvatat Deep Sleep Aid. While Haurvatat Deep Sleep Aid is formulated to promote slow wave brain activity during the deep phase of sleep, Mang Lucid Dream Supplement is formulated to promote high frequency brain activity during the REM phase of sleep.
  • Haurvatat Deep Sleep Aid is formulated as a lower, non-perceptible dose, whereas Mang Lucid Dream Supplement is formulated as a slightly higher, gently perceptible dose.
Can I take Mang Lucid Dream Supplement together with Haurvatat Deep Sleep Aid? Will I get both augmented deep sleep and lucid dreams?
  • While there is no safety concern in combining dosages of the two products, you will not get an additive benefit from taking both Mang and Haurvatat together. Loosely put, Mang as the higher dose will “overpower” the lower-dose Haurvatat deep sleep aid when taken in combination, effectively wasting a dose.

Ingredients & Ancestral Philosophy

Mang (Banj) is an ancient entheogenic elixir that is referred to in two accounts of Zoroastrian texts. In Denkard, a combination of haoma and Mang is given by the divine messenger, Nēryōsang to King Vishtāsp, who is remembered as the Kayanian king who became Zarathustra’s royal patron and helped establish the first Zoroastrian community. Known as Vishtaspian Mang, Mang at that time was the name of Black Henbane plant, a deliriant. In the Arda Vīrāz Nāmag (Arda Viraz Namah, “Book of Arda Viraf”), a medieval Zoroastrian visionary tale in which the righteous Viraz, after drinking the Vishtaspian Mang made by the magi at the fire temple of Adur Franbag, journeys through heaven and hell to reaffirm the truth of Zarathustra’s religion [8].

We created this ancestral Lucid Dream Supplement with the inspiration of Mang, to help you derive lucid insights from your nightly REM sleep cycle. This formulation does not include Black Henbane, but Espand, which was the primary compound of the ancient Haoma formulation.

Mang lucid dream supplement ancestral ingredients are:

Espand – Holy Plant Wisdom

The key ingredients in Mang Lucid Dream Supplement are Espand (aka Syrian Rue, Harmel, or Peganum harmala). Espand is an abundant source of beta-carbolines [9], a class of naturally occurring neuromodulatory compounds with neuroprotective properties [10]. Beta-carbolines are found naturally in a handful of plants, including Espand (P. harmala) and Banisteriopsis caapi, the ancestral Amazonian vine used in traditional ceremonial brews [11]. Thanks to modern neuroscience, we now understand the biology behind what our ancestors discovered thousands of years ago.

Qian Ceng Ta – The Tower of 1000 Steps

Mang also contains Qian Ceng Ta (Huperzia serrata), an ancestral plant used for over 2,000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that is known as the Tower of 1000 Steps for its physical similarity to a Buddhist pagoda and mind-elevating effects. Qian Ceng Ta — also referred to in Chinese as “more valuable than gold” — is the botanical source of huperzine A, a natural cholinesterase inhibitor that helps sustain acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter most associated with vivid REM dreaming and memory.

Pharmaceutical Science

Beta-Carbolines – Ancestral Secret to Neurological Health

Beta-carbolines such as harmine [12] are unique neuromodulators that have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity in neurons [13] and to support neurogenesis by increasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [14] and human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) [15].

Beta-carbolines also interact with the sleep cycle via the pineal gland, the part of the brain that regulates the body’s circadian rhythm. The pineal gland synthesizes melatonin from serotonin (the “happiness hormone”) [16], and is also believed to be a site of endogenous neuromodulator synthesis via alternate pathways [17].

The Science of Lucid Dreaming

Vivid, story-like dreams occur mainly in the REM stage of sleep, when the brain shifts into a distinctive neurochemistry: high cholinergic (acetylcholine) tone alongside low noradrenaline and serotonin. Raising acetylcholine during REM is the best-evidenced way to intensify dreaming and lucidity — the mechanism shared by the classic dream-enhancers surveyed in the research [21]. Lucidity itself is a measurable, hybrid brain state: ordinary REM plus a burst of frontal ~40 Hz (gamma) activity — the signature of self-aware, “waking” cognition switching back on inside the dream [20].

Mang is built to work with both halves of this biology:

  • Espand-derived beta-carbolines gently modulate monoamine tone (reversible MAO-A activity) — the aminergic side of the dreaming switch.
  • Qian Ceng Ta (Huperzia serrata) supplies huperzine A, a natural cholinesterase inhibitor that helps sustain acetylcholine — supporting the cholinergic REM state linked to vivid, recallable dreams.

At a precise low dose, the two are formulated to support high-frequency brain activity during REM — the window where lucidity and dream recall arise.

Cholinergic Support and Lucid-Dream Frequency

How strong is the cholinergic lever? In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 121 experienced dreamers, a single pre-dawn dose of a cholinesterase inhibitor raised the share of people who had a lucid dream from 14% on placebo to 27% and then 42% as the dose increased — and it also increased dream recall, vividness and complexity [22]. Qian Ceng Ta’s huperzine A belongs to this same cholinesterase-inhibiting class.

Bar chart: sustaining acetylcholine with a cholinesterase inhibitor raised lucid-dream frequency from 14% on placebo to 27% and 42% at higher doses (LaBerge et al., 2018)

Sustaining acetylcholine raised lucid-dream frequency in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (n=121; LaBerge et al., 2018). Mang’s Qian Ceng Ta supplies huperzine A — the same cholinesterase-inhibitor class.
