 Broad Spectrum nutritional support for healthy mental function
NeuroTone® , provided by Douglas Laboratories®, is
a unique, comprehensive combination of nutrients
which work in concert to maintain and enhance brain
and nervous system functions, including those involved
in mental alertness, clarity, and memory retention.
NeuroTone provides meaningful amounts of eleven
nutrients, all of which are supported by scientific or
clinical studies, in a convenient, economical tablet
formula.
FUNCTIONS
The nutrients in NeuroTone work together in four
different capacities to support and protect mental and
nervous system function: neurotransmitter synthesis
support, enhancement of microcirculation to the
brain, nerve cell membrane stabilization and repair,
and attenuation of the stress response.
Neurotransmitter metabolism support:
NeuroTone provides several important nutrients
which contribute to the metabolism of key
neurotransmitters as precursors, substrate, or
stimulators of neurotransmitter production and
subsequent release. Optimal neurotransmitter
generation and release is essential for proper
communication between nervous system cells, and
thus for healthy nervous system function.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine: This acetylated high energy ester
of the amino acid L-carnitine contributes its acetyl
groups to the production and release of acetylcholine,
the primary neurotransmitter for memory and
thought. The carnitine component plays a key role in
the transport of fatty acids into the nerve
mitochondria where they serve as fuel for cellular
energy production.
L-Glutamine: Glutamine, a non-essential amino acid,
easily crosses the blood-brain barrier where it can be
converted into two important neurotransmitters, the
excitatory L-glutamic acid and the major inhibitory
neurotransmitter gamma amino butyric acid.
Choline & Lecithin (Phosphatidylcholine): Choline,
related to the B vitamins, is the other critical
precursor of acetylcholine. Choline is water soluble
and is therefore quickly available to participate in
acetylcholine synthesis. Phosphatidylcholine, which
can be a source of choline, is fat-soluble; as such,
phosphatidylcholine has a longer-lasting, sustained
effect on acetylcholine production.
DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol): DMAE, a
precursor of choline in the brain, also supports
acetylcholine synthesis through its ability
to cross the blood-brain barrier. Research indicates
that DMAE supplementation appears to enhance
short-term memory and learning speed.
L-Pyroglutamic acid: This amino acid compound
stimulates synthesis and release of acetylcholine by
boosting the metabolism of specific nerve cells
responsible for the release of this important
neurotransmitter.
L-Tyrosine: L-tyrosine, a conditionally-essential
amino acid is a direct precursor of norepinephrine
and dopamine, two important catecholamines.
Norepinephrine is involved in long-term memory and
has an energizing, mood-elevating action. Dopamine
is the principal neurotransmitter involved in central
nervous system control of muscle movement.
Enhancement of microcirculation of the brain:
The brain depends on the circulatory system to
provide a constant supply of oxygen and glucose to
support the function of this extremely metabolically
active organ. Any deficit in cranial blood flow
deprives the brain of essential oxygen and glucose.
As a result, the brain’s significant metabolic demands
will not be met and mental function can be
moderately to severely impaired. Two key
components of NeuroTone actively support blood
flow to the brain.
Ginkgo Biloba: Flavonoid compounds and terpene
lactones in the ginkgo leaf help regulate the tone and
elasticity of both arteries and capillaries. Increasing
circulation to the brain and other parts of the body
allows for better oxygen and glucose uptake, with
subsequent enhancement of memory and mental
functions.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Research has found that this
amino acid compound is also active in increasing
cerebral blood flow.
Nerve cell membrane repair and restoration: Cell
membranes act in part as gatekeepers, regulating the
transport of nutrients into and waste products out of a
cell. The fluidity and integrity of these cell
membranes are essential for proper regulation of
transport mechanisms and subsequently of the cell
environment. Specific nutrients which stabilize and
restore cell membrane health and integrity are
included in NeuroTone.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine: This amino acid compound is
further involved in mental and nervous system
function as it helps preserve and restore the stability
and fluidity of nerve cell membranes.
Phosphatidylserine: This phospholipid, found in
high concentrations in the nervous system, helps
maintain fluidity of nerve cell membranes, thus
providing for optimal transport of nutrients and other
compounds across the cell membrane. It is also used
in the repair and regeneration of nerve cells.
Lecithin: Lecithin is a primary source of
phosphatidylcholine, which is used to repair and
maintain nerve cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine
is also a major constituent in the synthesis of myelin,
the insulating sheath around nerve cells that helps
ensure effective transmission of nerve cell activity.
DHA (docosahexanoic acid): DHA, a fatty acid
prominent in brain and nerve cells, is essential for
optimal neural and retinal development and
maintenance. It also contributes to myelin synthesis
and is used in the repair and regeneration of nerve
cells.
Attenuation of the stress response: The body has
intricate mechanisms by which it balances hormonal
responses during and following periods of stress.
When these mechanisms are disrupted, the ensuing
imbalance can precipitate damage to brain and
nervous system functions. NeuroTone contains
several nutrients which assist in supporting these
balancing mechanisms.
Phosphatidylserine: Phosphatidylserine appears to
help the body counterbalance excessive release of
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), adrenaline,
and cortisol which are released in response to stress.
INDICATIONS
NeuroTone tablets may be taken as a nutrition
supplement for those wishing to increase their intake
of these key neuronutrients.
SUGGESTED USE
Two tablets twice daily or as directed by a physician.
SIDE EFFECTS
No adverse effects have been reported.
