Dr. Cass' Brain Recovery Formula™ Click here for details

Dr. Cass has developed the Brain Recovery Formula™ based on years of research with hundreds of patients, for recovery from:

Depressants (alcohol, marijuana, benzodiazepines, or opiates) by taking the edge off, relieving irritability and discomfort.

Stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, and methamphetamine, by helping you stay positivie and alert without them.

Prescription Medications, preventing withdrawal symptoms or "discontinuation syndrome" (to be done under medical supervision) by balancing brain chemistry.

Low Moods, stress, anxiety, lack of motivation, impaired attention and concentration by providing essential amino acids.

Difficulty with Focus and Concentration, by providing performance-enhancing nutrients.

The Brain Recovery Formula™ helps to smooth out the discomfort associated with withdrawal while restoring energy and brain function. Even if you’ve never used substances but suffer from mood or focus problems that interfere with your happiness and well-being, you can now reclaim your brain!

Supplement-taking simplified:

Recovery is difficult enough without having to keep track of numerous pills in multiple bottles. To address this issue Dr. Cass designed the Brain Recovery AM & PM Formula.

This combines the equivalent of 6 different formulas into 2 convenient daily packets containing the specific highest ingredients in the exact, balanced amounts needed to help you through your day. Brain Recovery AM & PM nutritional program helps restore mood and brain function. It stops cravings for addictive substances by balancing your brain chemistry, naturally.

Each A.M. and P.M. packet contains:

Multi-Vitamins & Minerals A potent combination of essential nutritional basics and co-facter for optimum nutrition of brain and body.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids An essential component for brain nutrition that enhances mood, learning, focus and attention. Omega-3's also help regulate inflammation and are heart healthy.

Powerful antioxidants and liver support nutrients Essential for detoxification, including alpha lipoic acid, NAC, and silymarin.

Blood Sugar balancing nutrients Chromium and glutamine for smoothing out energy and mood swings.

Brain Recovery A.M. Packet also contains mood and energy enhancers glutamine, tyrosine and DLPA that help keep you happy, alert, and energized. View label and ingredients list for Brain Recovery A.M Packets here.

Brain Recovery P.M. Packet also provides the nutrients glycine, glutamine, theanine, and 5-HTP (5 hydroxytryptophan) that enhance mood, help you wind down from the day’s activities, and promote relaxation and restful sleep. View label and ingredients list for Brain Recovery P.M Packets here.

Brain Recovery AM & PM Packet Capsules: Actual physical description of each capsule, so you can tell which one is which (in case you want to separate them out, e.g. to determine which capsule has which effect). here.

Directions: Take one A.M. packet with breakfast and one P.M. packet with dinner. If preferred, you can take the Omega 3 gelcap with any meal and the remainder of the packet 1/2 hour before bedtime for enhanced sleep.

Taken together the Brain Recovery AM and Brain Recovery PM nutritional packets help to inhibit cravings for addictive substances by balancing your brain chemistry and restoring positive mood, naturally.

We are all biochemically unique. While this program is effective for most people, you many need to add some of these specialized formulas for maximum effect:

If you find that you then need more energy or focus, such as for reading, writing, studying or driving, add the following:

Focus: It's a natural "stimulant" or "caffeine substitute." Click here

Energy Balance: A mild energizer, it also contains adaptogens to support the adrenal gland. Click here

Take 1 - 3 Capsules of either or both Focus and Energy Balance in the morning and for that mid-afternoon energy slump.

If you still tend to be anxious, irritable and easily stressed, take:

CALM: 2 capsules, 2-3 times daily (up to 6 daily). CALM is a great end-of-the-workday supplement and pre-bedtime relaxer. Click here

Nightly CALM: This is CALM, plus the proven sedating herb, valerian. Take 2-3 at bedtime. Click here

5-HTP: If you experience low moods, anxiety and have trouble sleeping and staying asleep you are likely low in serotonin. 5-HTP will provide the raw material needed to make serotonin in your brain. Take 5-HTP 100 mg, 1-3 capsules 1/2 hour before bedtime. If you are taking an SSRI antidepressant, check with your physician, since there is a rare risk of serotonin syndrome. Click here

Brain Balance: If your memory and cognitive abilities are not what they used to be (what you'd like them to be) take 2 capsules with breakfast and 2 with lunch or dinner. It provides the materials needed to enhance memory and cognition. Click here

Lifestyle, Diet, and Supplements:

Begin with a healthy diet
Eliminate smoking, sugar and caffeine
Exercise daily
Restorative sleep: get 7-9 hours of quality sleep
Add supplements (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs) to correct underlying chemical imbalances

"My doctor wanted to prescribe antidepressants but I was afraid of the side effects, and of being dependent on medication, so I tried Dr. Cass’ program and in a month, I was back to the old me, and haven’t looked back since."

– Maria, age 33

“After months of sobriety from various stimulants, I was still sleeping poorly and felt exhausted. However, within a week of taking Dr. Cass’ formulas, I was amazed to find that I was able to fall asleep easily and deeply. I woke up rested, and my energy and focus lasted all day.

"I noticed that I was dreaming, too, which I hadn’t for a long time. I felt as if my brain was restoring itself!"

– Charles R., age 45
