After E Supplement Pack, 4 Pieces

A pack with four pieces and a short name does not explain itself. What are the pieces, and how are you meant to take them? This page goes through what the After E supplement pack contains, how the pack says to take it, and what to check first.

What is in the After E supplement pack

• 1 multivitamin
• 1 guarana capsule
• 2 L-tryptophan capsules

Together the four pieces are one serving. Guarana is the seed of a climbing plant from Brazil, and it naturally contains caffeine. L-tryptophan is one of the essential amino acids. For the multivitamin, shops that publish the full label list vitamins A, C, D and E, several B vitamins, folic acid and biotin, plus minerals including calcium, zinc and selenium.

How the pack says to take it

The pack's direction is short: take the contents the day after a night out, with 1 to 4 glasses of water. The recommended serving is the contents of one pack, and the pack states that you should not go over that in a day.

Count the caffeine

Several shops that publish an ingredient list for this four-piece pack state 100 mg of caffeine. Add that to any coffee, cola or energy drink you have on the same day. If you avoid caffeine or react strongly to it, this pack does not suit you.

Not every After E is the same

More than one product is sold under this name, and the contents differ. Other shops list a version built around a 1000 mg vitamin C tablet with capsules of L-tryptophan and vitamin B6, and another that names vitamin B6, tyrosine, L-tryptophan and guarana. If you have used an After E before, compare the contents list above with what you had.

What to know before you take it

This is a food supplement. We make no claims about what it does for your health. Do not use it in place of a varied diet, keep it out of reach of children, and ask a doctor first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication. Antidepressants are the clearest case: WebMD's guidance for people on SSRIs, MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants is to avoid L-tryptophan. Store the pack closed, cool and dry.
