Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is made within the human body; in fact, it is the most important antioxidant produced by the cells and helps to neutralize a whole host of free radicals. Glutathione is also important for such things as DNA synthesis and repair, hormone production, amino acid transport and enzyme activation. If all that sounds like a bunch of ‘blah-blah-blah’ the take away here is that every system in the body is affected by the state of the glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system (including neurotransmission), the gastrointestinal system and the lungs.

Achieving proper neurotransmitter function using amino acid therapy is about pushing the right buttons. Nowhere is this more important (or confusing) than when a person is suffering from multiple conditions related to neurotransmitter imbalance. (more…)

NeuroReplete is a balanced amino acid formula that is often used as a foundational part of amino acid therapy. It provides 5-HTP and L-tyrosine along with the cofactors necessary to convert these amino acids into serotonin and the catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine), respectively. There are usually very few side effects associated with amino acid therapy; however, nausea can occur in two instances. (more…)

We have received an incredible response to our series on Balancing the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems (if you haven’t read it, but sure and check it out – it’s a great primer for what we will discuss here!). Out of that series, we received several questions about how to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) with exercise. This is an interesting question, because exercise, especially when someone is just starting out or they are exercising intensely increases the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) rather than the PNS. However, the body is designed to spend most of its time in the PNS, and doing certain exercises can improve the PNS response and reduce the impact that stress has on your health. (more…)

There are many products that can be used to supply the body the necessary building blocks that it needs to re-establish proper neurotransmitter function. Unfortunately, most of the products available over-the-counter, as well as many that are only available through licensed health care providers, do not provide adequate (or reproducible) amounts of the needed components.
