Question

Is there any supplement that is helpful with nicotine withdrawal symptoms?

Answer 1

No, you have to white knuckle

Answer 2

First off, congratulations for WANTING to quit smoking!!

For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you'll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal...

Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it's not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).

All that being said, it's likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last smoke (it's never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don't take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.

Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of the drug (and yes, nicotine is a drug) will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!

[edit]:  I looked over the craving-removing product mentioned by the other answerer (hoping to find something that could help more people), and it says it doesn't help to remove cravings. Their website says the three ingredients in it help support the nervous system. It has Garcinia cambogia which is a cleanser that is commonly used for dieting, Avena Sativa which is good for sexual health and vitality, and Gotu Kola (mis-spelled on their website) which helps with brain health. No doubt it would help you feel better, but unfortunately, you'll still have the cravings. I was hoping it could actually help with that... bummer.
