potentiated

Boosted in effect

Potentiated means made more powerful or effective, especially through interaction with another substance or factor.

The term appears most often in pharmacology, where one drug potentiates another by amplifying its effects: The sedative was potentiated by alcohol.

More broadly, anything that strengthens or enhances something else potentiates it.
