Is there any banned supplement or substance in Chess?

In athletic, football and most sports there are banned or prohibited substances athletes must not take in. In chess are there prohibited brain Boosters or concentration Booster? What are the legal and good supplements I can take to boost my performance in chess?

Here is some info on substances banned in FIDE competition:

Try Tactics Trainer, not drugs.

Tactics Trainer. Not even once.

Kidding :P Honestly, Tactics Trainer is the best reason to be premium.

    Tactics Trainer, like some drugs is extremely addictive. I don't think I could trust myself with premium use. Great way to get your five-a-day !

The fact that ADHD drugs are banned in by FIDE makes me wonder what would happen if somebody who were prescribed those drugs played in a FIDE competition. That seems like a long shot, but I guess it isn't necessarily so.

Modafinil is banned. It increases chess strength by quite a margin.

There is also a supplement called L-Tyrosine which improves chess performance. 

phones.

It is a commonly-known fact that Magnus Carlsen has been for the last few years, in fact, a Stockfish-powered replicant. 

How about beer?

I can attest to the fact that, at least in my case, beer is only good if you are playing to lose all of your pieces. 

I came across these while doing my research. Can anyone authenticate it. Or has anyone taken any of the prescription

Alcohol ain't that bad, slows your brain down, makes you look deeper, and hey it is relaxing.

Keep in mind that some of this can be very misleading.  For example, caffine, it lists as any reading under 400 mg is fine.

Mountain Dew is one if the highest when it comes to caffine content in soft drinks.  A 20 ounce bottle has 54 mg of caffine.  You would need to down 8 bottles that size rapidly in a very short time window to fail the caffine test.

May I recommend you drink a whole 24-pack within the last two hours before you face me over the board?  It would be greatly appreciated!

I have Fritz 17.  I took Adrafinil 300mg and easily raised my tactics skill level from 2100 to 2300.  This test was done with the Fritz program.  I find it difficult to believe that professional chess players don't know this.  Professional chess player are not dumb.  

chocolate

fishstock is banned for being too nutritious.

I have heard rumors that top flight players use:

One Enema of Tabasco sauce before every game.
