Introduction to Amino Acid Therapy
Amino Acid Therapy and Neurotransmitter Function
Most people have heard of several common neurotransmitters, including serotonin and melatonin (sleep), dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline) and are familiar with at least some of their functions in regards to mood (depression).
What most people do not know is that neurotransmitter imbalances can dramatically affect many other aspects of your health and can cause or exacerbate symptoms of RND-induced states commonly associated with: Depression, anxiety, migraines, insomnia, cravings, increased appetite, low-pain tolerance, hot flashes, mood swings and more…
The Science Behind Amino Acid Therapy
The science behind amino acid therapy may not be a great read (except for you health-junkies!) but once you understand how and why it works you begin to understand why we can achieve such amazing results.
Improve Neurotransmitter Function
Restoring proper neurotransmitter levels using amino acid therapy can quickly and effectively restore balance, alleviate symptoms, compensate for damaged neurons and restore proper function.

We have been working with conditions associated with neurotransmitter imbalance for over two decades. During that time, we have learned a good deal about the most effective strategies to restore optimal neurotransmitter function. One of the most profound discoveries...
Carbidopa and Vitamin B6 Depletion – Additional Evidence
In 2014, Mary Hinz, MD, et al, published a paper that hypothesized that carbidopa depleted the body of vitamin B6 and that this decrease in B6 levels led to progressive neurodegeneration in patients with Parkinson's disease. Two recent papers provide additional...
