Stacks
Combinations that come up again and again in online discussion. For each one: what each part is supposed to do, how strong the evidence is for that part, what users of that part reported, and what to watch out for.
No combination data exists. None of these stacks has been tested as a combination in humans, and the Reddit reads counted people per substance, not per stack. The user figures below are each component’s own reports. “Success rates” that circulate online for these stacks are not shown: we could not trace them to countable reports.
