• Antioxidant Protection for the Brain
• Unique Blend Specifically Designed for Brain Support
• Nutritional Support for Nerve and Brain Tissue
• Supports Healthy Brain Metabolism

Neuro-Optimizercontains nutritional support for the brain, combining CDP Choline (cytidine 5’-diphosphocholine, also known as Citicoline), Phosphatidylserine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine and Taurine to enhance brain metabolism and antioxidant protection.

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is a naturally occurring, water-soluble biological compound that is an essential intermediate for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of the gray matter of brain tissue (30%). Citicoline helps promote brain metabolism by enhancing the synthesis of acetylcholine and restoring phospholipid content in the brain.

PS (Phosphatidylserine) supports the brain’s physiological processing of stress and promotes neuronal communication by its effect on cell membrane fluidity. The antioxidants Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Taurine help provide protection for the neurons from damage caused by certain free radicals. Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and L-Glutamine also support energy utilization by their effects on fatty acid metabolism, oxidative decarboxylation and gluconeogenesis. Taurine also helps aid in osmoregulation (maintenance of proper concentrations of ions) inside the cell.

Neuro-Optimizer is a safe, natural way to enhance brain metabolism and cognition without the use of stimulants.

Suggested Use: Take up to 4 capsules per day, with juice or water, between meals or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.
