Yes, vitamin C taken before amphetamine does reduce drug absorption. I take it at night.
Concerning the phosphatidylserine:
Klinkhammer, P. Szelies B and Heiss WD. "Effect of phosphatidylserine vs. placebo in patients with early dementia of the Alzheimer type." Eur. Neuropsychopharmacol. Vol.2, #2, pg. 149-155. (this is a dutch publication I haven't read myself, but its results are desribed in Ward's "Smart Drugs II."
The article suggests that phosphatidylserine increases receptor expression, among other activities.
Concerning the anti-oxidants: I'll get back to you on this :) It could very well be that this is just wishful thinking. My intuition tells me its worthwhile though.
