> What the Journeyz Before and After names mean. They describe timing, not outcomes or directions.

Journeyz names its two formulas for two points in a day. Stellar Surge is the Before formula and Afterglow Accelerator is the After formula. The names say where each one sits in a day. They don't describe what either formula does, and they aren't directions. How to take either product comes from the pack.

## Before

The Before formula is named for the point in the day before the demanding part starts. How and when to take it comes from the directions on the pack.

## The demanding part

The flight, the event, the training session or the shift. There is no Journeyz product for this part. Water, food and rest matter here and no supplement replaces them.

## After

The After formula is named for the point once the demanding part is over. It contains the same actives as the Before formula plus one more, 5-HTP.

## Both formulas contain the same actives

Ingredient identities and amounts come from signed manufacturing records, which state each amount against 6 capsules. That basis is how the formula is measured rather than a serving instruction, so the printed pack is what tells you how to take the product.

- Vitamin C: 1000 mg
- Vitamin E: 100 mg
- Magnesium: 200 mg
- N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC): 600 mg
- Ginger root: 500 mg
- Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR): 500 mg
- Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA): 200 mg

Afterglow Accelerator contains the same list at the same amounts plus 100 mg of 5-HTP. That is the only difference between the two formulas.

## Days the two names apply to

A few examples of the kind of day people have in mind. They are examples of timing, not claims about what either formula does on those days.

- **Travel:** Long flights, time zone changes and early starts.
- **Late nights:** Shows, club nights and social nights that run late.
- **Festivals:** Multi day events with long hours on your feet.
- **Training:** Training sessions, races and long days of exercise.
- **Demanding work:** Deadlines, double shifts and long working days.
- **Outdoor days:** Hikes, road trips and days outside with unpredictable timing.

## Taking both

The two formulas are named as a pair, which describes when each one sits in a day rather than any assessment of taking both. They contain the same active ingredients at the same amounts, so using both in one day means taking those ingredients twice. Ask a qualified healthcare professional to review both formulas alongside any medicines or other supplements you take before using them together, and follow the directions on each pack.
