NeuroGenesis Products
The goal of our products is to improve the availability and balance of certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. These chemicals, neurotransmitters, attach to various brain cells in the brain and, depending on the location, produce what we call thoughts or feelings or actions. When these chemicals are depleted somewhat or are “out of balance with each other” then our thoughts or feelings or actions are effected in negative ways. We may have inappropriate thoughts, feel depressed, and do things we would not normally do.
Over the years research has shown us that trauma (stress) as well as the use of certain medications or other drugs can cause serious shortages of these transmitters.
NeuroGenesis set out to produce products that would assist directly with the manufacture of the desired transmitters to such levels that balance could occur and normal thoughts, feelings and actions could be restored. Transmitters in the brain are made from amino acids in the presence of specific vitamins and minerals which serve as co-factors in this building process.
While there are literally hundreds of transmitters in the brain research has shown that there are just a few that are extremely important for quality of thought, feeling and actions. The first of these is dopamine, a chemical which works to produce feelings of happiness, love, attachment, concern for others. Dopamine is produced from L-phenylalanine in our products.
The next is norepinepherine which works to energize use, to tell our hearts to beat and our lungs to expand. This transmitter is also made from the amino acid L-phenylalanine.
Third is serotonin, an extremely important transmitter in several places in the brain. This transmitter functions to keep our emotions in balance so that we are not up and down all the time. It also facilitates all our sensory input (sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste) to various areas of the brain for interpretation and communication. This transmitter is important in the sleep cycle as well as other rhythmic cycles our bodies experience. Serotonin is produced from 5-HTP in our products.
Next is GABA (Gamma amino butyric acid) which is the brains most important calming agent. GABA works to keep transmitter firings in balance so that our thoughts don’t “race”. When GABA is effective we don’t feel “anxiety” all the time for seemingly no reason. This important calming agent is produced by L-glutamine in our products.
Last, and far from least, is a group of transmitters called “peptides” (because they consist of five amino acids). These transmitters are of the “opiate or opioid” family and work to reduce the effect of physical pain as well as create a sense of internal calm and completeness. When these transmitters are effective our sense of positive self concept is high, we feel good within ourselves. When deficiencies occur our pain threshold is lowered and we have a deep sense of inadequacy.
The opioids are produced by a combination of aminos in our products, especially when NeuBecalm’d and NeuRelieve are combined. These peptides are a combination of the amino acids L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine (which is made from L-phenylalanine), 2 molecules of the amino L-glycine and the amino acid methionine (made available by the actions of folic acid in our products).
When trauma or drug use occurs no single transmitter is depleted but all of the transmitters in the effected area are limited. It is important to use a well balanced supplement which will work to reestablish the desired balance for optimum effect.
For Maximum Effectiveness
Our products were developed to provide additional nutritional support for the building of certain transmitters in the brain and body. It has been established over the years that these transmitters can be associated with various “feeling states,” especially those seen as unwanted, uncomfortable, or dysfunctional. Significant research has been done what verifies that by this process called “precursor loading” (increasing the building blocks) that, in fact, the availability of certain transmitters was improved. This improvement in available brain and body chemistry has been linked to improvement in various moods and behaviors.
NeuroGenesis’ products do not “work” like drugs or medications. They are most effective when taken on an empty stomach. They consist of amino acids along with the necessary vitamin and mineral cofactors; and therefore, assist the brain and body to function naturally, at more normal chemical levels. They do this gradually and over time and do not cause an immediate response. Gradually, then, the user of these supplements often begins to “feel better” and improve in ways seen as positive by them.
Once the customer begins to “feel better” the tendency is to stop using the supplements. The reality is that most of us are under constant life stressors And this stress has shown to deplete chemistry and cause us to begin to feel uncomfortable again. Our products have been shown to be effective in assisting the body to maintain adequate levels of stress management chemistry and, thus, help support and maintain a more normal state of mind and body.
The best plan is to use these support products ongoing, as many people do. If you have completely stopped using the products because you began to feel better and are beginning to re-experience discomfort, then we suggest you restart the use of the supplements to regain the benefit. If you have reduced the daily dosage and are doing OK, then continue at that level unless you begin to notice problems. At that time, go back to the dose that proved most beneficial in the past. You may always need some nutritional supplement to replenish and support normal brain chemistry.
