NeuRelieve -- Amino
Anxiety Formula
- NeuRelieve was
originally formulated to provide the
nutritional supplementation needed to
replenish the neurotransmitters that have
been altered or depleted by the long-term
use of benzodiazepines or marijuana, and to
assist with the side effects that often
accompany the tapering process.
- Because GABA
deficiencies or depletions can result in
such high anxiety or panic, most Alternative
Physicians recommend 500 to 1,000 mg of
L-Glutamine per day to reinforce the
building of GABA and provide the calming
effect it brings.
- With this in mind,
NeuroGenesis has increased the amino acid
L-Glutamine to 125 mg per capsule; this
results in 750 mg per day when taking the
suggested six (6) capsules. This change will
further enhance the efficacy of this already
successful product.
- Remember,
NeuRelieve is not intended to replace any
medication, but is to be used in conjunction
with the support of your physician. Never
try to reduce or stop the use of any
medication without a doctor's advice.
d-Phenylalanine The use of
d-Phenylalanine is vital to the elevation of
opioid activity.
This amino acid works to
inhibit the enzymes that break down the opioids
(enkephalins) in the brain. By maintaining
greater levels of opioid activity the person is
able to experience an increased sense of
internal well being since the opioids work to
reduce the effect of fight or flight. The
opioids produce a different "calming" than
tranquilizers, a deeper sense of calm.
5
Hydroxy tryptophan (5 HTP)
The second component of our blend is the
precursor to the inhibitory neurotransmitter
serotonin which relieves anxiety simply by
reducing the impact of multiple sensory input
actions in the reticular activating system in
the brain.
When anxiety patients are tested, their
serotonin levels are usually found to be
depleted.
This depletion plays a large part in
making you overreact to the stimuli in life.
Depletion of serotonin also influences the
barely concealed aggression you may feel towards
other persons. Low serotonin levels are
initially sensed as irritability. In addition,
the presence of 5 HTP also helps insure that the
level of vitamin B-3 remains available for
mental and emotional balance. A lack of B-3 is
thought to cause the nervousness, irritability,
and apprehension we associate with anxiety and
benzodiazepine tapering.
Glycine
The third member of the alpha-wave producing
blend is glycine. Glycine acts as an inhibitory
neurotransmitter, but unlike 5HTP which reacts
in the brain, glycine works by inhibiting the
nerve cells in the spinal cord. Research is
showing that glycine deficiency results in
jerky, exaggerated movement and sometimes even
spasticity. All the movements you take for
granted are suddenly uncoordinated and magnified
during intense anxiety associated with benzo
withdrawal. Glycine works by inhibiting the
messages from the spinal cord that cause these
abnormal responses.
Taurine A similar rationale
exists for including the amino acid taurine in
the blend Taurine is a simple sulphur-containing
compound and one of the most abundant amino
acids in the body. Much of the research
conducted into the uses of taurine centers on
its function in nerve tissue and its powerful
inhibitory action in the excitable tissues such
as the heart and skeletal muscles.
Glutamine l-glutamine is the
precursor for GABA. It is the GABA network of
neurons and receptors that are negatively
affected by benzodiazepine use. GABA is
dramatically depleted and consequently the
person feels extreme anxiety. Glutamine begins
the rebuilding process necessary for eventual
normalization of GABA activity.
