NEUROTINE™ is an advanced amino acid complex designed specifically to augment the protein needs of the brain and to increase the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). NEUROTINE™ is exceptionally rich in key amino acids critical to the synthesis of neurotransmitters, proper immune system functions, and brain energy production. Neuroscientific research suggests that BDNF plays a key role in neurogenesis to help stimulate the growth and expression of new nerve cells. BDNF protein is especially vital to the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and basal forebrain regions of the brain where complex thinking tasks occur. Most notably, BDNF is critical to learning and memory. NEUROTINE™ provides a complete amino acid profile and stimulates the production of BDNF to create new brain cells throughout life. NEUROTINE™ utilizes the most advanced and effective forms of each amino acid to ensure optimum bioavailability for enhanced neurochemical efficacy. -Neurochemical effects- -Recommended Use- -Active Components- (mg per serving, 2 capsules per serving) N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (300mg)- L-Tyrosine is an essential amino acid which supports brain function. It can be converted by neurons in the brain into the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), hormones which are depleted by stress, excessive work and certain drugs. By replenishing norepinephrine in the brain, mental energy levels are enhanced and a feeling of contentment often occurs. L-tyrosine boosts certain neurotransmitters in the brain and has been used to support stress reduction and depression. L-Tyrosine is converted in the body into other key biologic compounds, including L-dopa, CoQ10, thyroid hormones and melanin. The form of L-Tyrosine in Neurotine™, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, is an acetylated derivative of the essential amino acid L-tyrosine. Ordinary L-tyrosine is less stable and insoluble in water, which may result in reduced bioavailability. N-acetyl-L-tyrosine, which is converted in the body to L-tyrosine, is 20 times as soluble in water as L-tyrosine itself. For this reason, it serves as an efficient supplement for raising tyrosine levels in the body, since undissolved substances are not absorbed from the digestive tract. Acetylation enhances the solubility and stability making it a more rapidly absorbed and bioavailable form of the amino acid L-tyrosine which is less prone to urinary excretion. Acetyl L-Carnitine (300mg)- Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a stabilized and more absorbable form of the amino acid L-Carnitine. Acetyl-L-Carnitine plays an important role in protecting and supporting brain and muscle function. As an antioxidant, Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is involved in aspects of neuronal metabolism because its molecular structure resembles the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Supplementing with Acetyl L-Carnitine may improve acetylcholine production and stimulation of protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis. Research on Acetyl-L-Carnitine shows it can be very useful in supporting normal brain function, and possibly be useful for strokes, Down's syndrome and the management of various neuropathies. The effects of supplementing with carnitine has been extensively researched in many areas, including exercise performance, weight loss, treatment of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetic neuropathy, depression and other neurological disorders, treatment of alcoholism, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance, and many others. Alpha Lipoic Acid (200mg)- Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an extremely strong antioxidant that helps neutralize cell-damaging free radicals in both the water-soluble and fat soluble compartments in the cell. This highly potent formula optimizes its antioxidant effects to fight against cell damaging free radical radicals that are harmful to the body and many of its organs such as heart, liver, lungs and kidneys. Alpha Lipoic Acid is an extremely versatile nutrient that is both water and fat soluble, which gives it the ability to function in almost any part of the body. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant. It neutralizes free radical damage in cells while enhancing the activity of antioxidant vitamins B and C. Alpha Lipoic Acid is also a key component in the metabolic process, and can help decrease fat storage in your body by directing calories into energy production. It improves the action of insulin, which increases glucose, amino acid and nutrient uptake in brain cells. N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (100mg)- The amino acid Cysteine is showing strong scientific evidence in the production and biosynthesis of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). BDNF facilitates the growth of new neurons, as well as, protect existing neurons from neuronal death. BDNF protein has also shown to be particularly important for long-term memory in the hippocampus region of the brain. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a more stable form of the amino acid L-Cysteine and is the most effective way to boost Glutathione (an exceptional antioxidant) levels in the body. NAC is a more stable form of L-Cysteine because it has an acetyl group (CH3CO) attached. NAC has all the properties of L-Cysteine but is more water soluble and said to be more bio-available than L-Cysteine. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) provides powerful immune support and also packs a powerful anti-toxin potential. Its ability to neutralize cell and DNA damaging free radicals can help slow down what many scientists point to as a key factor in the aging process. L-Theanine (100mg)- Theamine is an amino acid able to readily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to help produce gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) and increases the release of serotonin and dopamine. Theanine is also instrumental in the production of anti-bacterial proteins to help assist the immune system in fighting disease and brain inflammation. In research studies, Theanine has been shown to inhibit glutamic acid excitotoxity which is especially important for various neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Disease and Parkinson's Disease. Theanine's unique properties and role in neurotransmission helps to reduce anxiety, create a sense of calmness, and enhance mood. L-Taurine (100mg)- Taurine is listed as an essential element in nutritional treatment of Aging, Crohn's Disease, Depression, Diabetes, and Epilepsy. Very Important for Cirrhosis of the Liver, Environmental Toxicity, Bipolar Disorder, and Meningitis. Important for Cardiovascular Disease, Edema, Fever, Fibromyalgia, and helpful for Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism, Chemical Allergies, Glaucoma, Lyme Disease, Migraine, Obesity, Prostate Cancer, and Skin Cancer. L-Phenylalanine (100mg)- Phenylalanine increases mental energy and helps to prduce the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Phenylalanine promotes a healthy mood and assists with the neurological processes of learning and memory. Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (100mg)- Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) is a non-essential amino acid that prevents the over-stimulation of neurons and has been at the basis of many contemporary cognitive enhancers. GABA improves brain functioning and mental clarity while helping to reduce anxiety and mental overexertion. GABA may be an essential element in the nutritional treatment of alcoholism, attention deficit disorder, dementia, schizophrenia, stress, Parkinson's disease and premenstrual syndrome and may be important for anorexia nervosa, bulimia, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, substance abuse, Wilson’s disease and helpful for depression and obesity. GABA is usually deficient in both clinical & experimentally induced seizures. Low levels of GABA promote excitatory neurotransmitters and have been found in the brains of patients with multiple sclerosis, action tremors, tardive dyskinesia, & other disorders of movement. Low GABA levels have been found in panic, anxiety, depression, alcoholism, & bipolar disorders. Ascorbic Acid (300mg)- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is incorporated into the Neurotine™ formula to increase amino acid absorption and to balance L-Cysteine. Vitamin C modulates the anti-oxidant properties of Glutathione produced by L-Cysteine for increased effectiveness. The Vitamin C to L-Cysteine ratio in Neurotine™ is 3:1 which has become a standard in amino acid therapies. Vitamin C is also a powerful anti-oxidant in its own right and an essential human nutrient. -Other Ingredients- -Note- Neurotine™ 800 mg, 60 capsules, $54.95 each Neurotine™ 800 mg, 60 capsules, (5 Pack Special), 10% off, $246.75 Neurotine™ 800 mg, 60 capsules, (10 Pack Special), Bulk Pricing, 25% off, $479.50 These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
