This product contains a combination of the amino
acids dl-phenylalanine, taurine, l-tyrosine and acetyl-l-carnitine. Age-related
decreases in amino acids compromise cognitive function. Amino acids are
important intermediates in the production of neurotransmitters in the brain and
are involved in neuromodulating activities.* Cognitive Function Support: l-Tyrosine is
an amino acid naturally synthesized in the body. It is the precursor of the
neurotransmitters l-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, supporting
mood and mental clarity. dl-Phenylalanine provides a mixture of two essential
amino acids, d-phenylalanine and l-phenylalanine. In the body, l-phenylalanine
converts to tyrosine, enhancing neurotransmitter support. A separate pathway
allows both d- and l-phenylalanine to support levels of the mood-elevating
compound phenylethylamine, a function not provided by l-tyrosine. Taurine is
considered an inhibitory amino acid, helping to modulate levels of excitatory
amino acids such as glutamate in the brain. This provides neuroprotective action
important for maintaining proper brain cell health. Acetyl-l-carnitine has
multiple effects on brain metabolism, including helping to maintain taurine
levels in a particular part of the brain. It also contributes to the production
of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and may support dopamine receptor
function. As a result, acetyl-l-carnitine plays a role in memory, attention,
mental clarity, and mood support.* This product contains: dl-phenylalanine
(free-form) (synthetically produced); taurine (free-form) (synthetically
produced); l-tyrosine (free-form) (extracted from soybeans); acetyl-l-carnitine
(free-form) (synthetically produced); vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived
from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Pure Encapsulations recommends 2–6 capsules per
day, in divided doses, between meals. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician
before taking this product. Individuals with phenylketonuria or tardive
dyskinesia should avoid this product. Occasional nausea, heartburn, or headaches
have been associated with ingredients in this formula. At this time, there are no known adverse reactions
when taken in conjunction with medications. Bianchetti A, Rozzini R, Trabucchi M. Effects of acetyl-l-carnitine
