Reasoning Behind Our Patented Blend
The Right Amino Acids, Not the Kitchen Sink
There are many amino acids in supplement form in the marketplace today. Some have added ingredients that aren't necessary for the efficient metabolation of amino acids into neurotransmitters. Unfortunately, these supplements have taken the shotgun approach to making sure nothing is left out. NeuroGenesis does not feel that an "everything but the kitchen sink" formulation is beneficial when creating the right amino acid supplement. In fact, too much of certain ingredients can actually inhibit the needed metabolation to propertly convert amino acids into neurotransmitters.
Four U.S. Patents Cover the Amino Acids in Our Products
NeuroGenesis has combined years of clinical observation and simple raw science to formulate a blend of amino acids and vitamins that creates a synergistic effect. Our blend of ingredients actually work together to assist the body in converting the amino acids into the needed neurotransmitters. Four U.S. Patents cover our products with amino acids.
Which Amino Acid Supplement? It's Your Choice
With all the nutritional supplements including amino acids on the market today, you do have a choice. But please remember to do the research. We feel that you will come to this conclusion: NeuroGenesis offers a formulation of amino acids and vitamins that best supports natural neurotransmitter replenishment.
Further Rationale Using Amino Acids
Below, you will find a list of amino acids and the reasons that we've chosen to include them in our nutritional supplements. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Corporate Office. We will be glad to provide you with more information on the science behind our supplements, and the amino acids we use in them.
Amino Acids: DLPA (DL Phenylalanine)
All compounds in nature come in two forms, the L form and the D form. These are mirror images of each other biochemically. The L form is typically the more active form. DLPA contains both forms together. The L form is the building block for the neurotransmitter Dopamine. Dopamine is responsible for feelings of pleasure, focus, attachment and remorse as well as fine muscle movement. The D form works to inhibit the enzymes that break down "opioids" in the brain. Opioids are like endorphins and produce a sense of well-being and calm. If the enzymes that break them down are not as active due to the action of D Phenylalanine then the opioid activity increases and the person has a greater sense of internal calm.
Amino Acids: L-Glutamine
Again the L form is the active form of the amino acid Glutamine. Glutamine is the building block for Gama Amino Butyric Acid (GABA). GABA is the major calming neurotransmitter in the brain. If GABA levels are sufficient the person feels calm, thoughts are connected and logical. If GABA levels are low the person feels anxious, thoughts fly from one thing to another, heart races etc. They experience the typical fight or flight syndrome.
5HTP (5 Hydroxy Tryptophan)
5HTP is extracted from a seed known as Griffonia. It is not manufactured, but is the pure extract of the plant seed. 5HTP is the immediate building block for Serotonin in the brain. Serotonin provides numerous calming and stabilizing actions in the brain and body. When Serotonin is sufficiently active the person feels emotionally stable, can sleep, can sort out the various sensory input and determine logically whether a threat is present. When Serotonin is deficient the persons feels immediately irritable, overly sensitive to sights and sounds, experiences sudden unexplained tears and has difficulty sleeping. Serotonin deficiency has been described as a form of depression.
Metabolic Co-Factors for Amino Acids as Precursor to Neurotransmitters
Vitamin B-6, Foliate, Magnesium and Calcium, are used to facilitate the conversion of these amino acids and other ingredients into their specific neurotransmitters and/or work to facilitate the release of neurotransmitters more effectively.
Always remember, before taking any nutritional supplement, including amino acids, please consult your health care provider first.
