The Science of Ibogaine
Ibogaine is a naturally occurring compound that works differently from any existing treatment. Rather than managing symptoms or requiring long-term maintenance, research suggests ibogaine may address addiction and trauma at their neurological source—interrupting destructive patterns and promoting the brain’s natural capacity to heal.
In clinical settings, ibogaine has shown the ability to significantly reduce withdrawal symptoms, diminish cravings, and provide patients with psychological insights that support lasting recovery. Emerging studies with military veterans demonstrate meaningful improvements in PTSD, depression, and anxiety—often after a single supervised treatment.
This isn’t a cure, and it isn’t for everyone. But for those who’ve exhausted other options, ibogaine represents something increasingly rare in addiction and mental health treatment: genuine hope.

Why They Support Ibogaine Research
“My job, and our job, is to be able to educate the people about this psychoactive plant medicine that is absolutely showing a stunning ability to bring people back to normalcy — to literally give them their lives back.”
Rick Perry Former Governor of Texas, U.S. Secretary of Energy
“Everything that prohibited me from being the best version of myself, I have completely shut out of my life thanks to ibogaine.”
Marcus Luttrell Retired U.S. Navy SEAL, Author of Lone Survivor
“Ibogaine addresses both the physiological and psychological aspects of addiction. It targets withdrawal symptoms, rewires neural pathways, and provides users with profound psychological insights. Unlike traditional treatments, ibogaine offers the possibility of true recovery.”
W. Bryan Hubbard CEO, Americans for Ibogaine
“Participants showed significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, depression, and anxiety that persisted at the one-month follow-up.”
